Founded by Mothers, for Mothers

Building a trusted community for families to share and discover cherished baby goods.

Founders Mel and Sophie

Our Story

Second Space was started in Cape Town by Mel and Sophie, two mothers who saw a need for a secure, dedicated platform where parents could exchange high-quality baby items with peace of mind.

While many communities exist on social media and messaging apps, they often lack the security and privacy that parents deserve. Without a trusted third party, transactions can be risky, leading to potential disputes and disappointment. After their own homes started to fill with beloved but outgrown baby gear, Mel and Sophie envisioned a better way.

They dreamed of a place where cherished, mindfully-purchased products could find a new home with like-minded families. And so, Second Space was born.
