The right
accessory will accentuate your outfit, update your look and express your
personal style. Today accessories are not only designed for their function but
also for their aesthetic appeal. A well designed piece will spark different
emotions and can also become one's memorabilia.

Magos is a hardworking woman who started a business from the ground to the top .
She was motivated after she couldn’t find any accessories for her wedding and
decided to create high quality contemporary pieces for special occasions. The
team searches locally for interesting designed item and collaborate with these
talented artisans for their collections.
At Shop No.2 they create contemporary accessories for Weddings, Red Carpets & Parties from
around the world and their mission is to find pieces that reflect the style of
the quintessential woman.
Shop No 2 is what inspires her to create such beautiful pieces :
Tell
us about yourself?
I am a creative, passionate & perfectionist
that believes in love and magic . I believe that everything is possible with
determination ,coming from an eccentric Taiwanese family also meant that
growing up in South Africa hasn’t always been easy, as I've experienced
discrimination that took me years to overcome. People can be ignorant, and
being proud of my roots has helped me to stay strong. And to be who you truly are
is the greatest gift that you can give yourself.
How
did you start Shop No.2 and tell us more about your brand?
I was looking for accessories for my own
wedding last year and there was a gap in the market for high-quality contemporary
accessories for special occasions. Shop No.2 was born with a mission to
create unique pieces for Weddings, Parties and Red
Carpets. We look for pieces that reflect the style of the quintessential modern
woman and majority of our pieces are one of a kind in South Africa.
What
have you learnt in the business of jewellery?
A piece of jewellery is a personal
adornment and can carry sentimental value . This is why we don’t carry mass
amount of the same style. We keep our assortment unique and exclusive to our
Shop No.2 customers.
What
sustains you even at your worst?
My husband, my family, and the will to be a
successful businesswoman…
The
challenges you have faced as an entrepreneur woman?
The challenges that I’ve faced are what
every entrepreneur would encounter like managing your funds and promoting your
brand. The biggest challenge is facing my weaknesses. We all have our own
strengths and weaknesses but knowing how to embrace your weakness will give you
the opportunity and insight to manage them.
Where
do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
I see Shop No.2 as shop online , offering various product categories in South Africa for girls planning their
weddings.
Who
inspires you and why?
Vera Wang… she is a businesswoman and a
mother of two daughters who has great respect for women. The success of her
Vera Wang brand is based on making woman feel beautiful which I aspire to and her vision, ability to create a solid business for the brand.
