About us

Uncle cheap started as a picture that was drawn on my bedroom wall at my grandparents house in Knysna, South Africa in 2019.

It started out as a clothing "thrift" store with sourced branded items at the local Hospice shop curated on Instagram.

The thrift page was poorly executed until a few years later I met an uncle on a plane to Cape Town.

The uncle owned a clothing shop that sold Ecko Ltd clothing and has been in the industry for 20+ years.

He had left me with rich knowledge.

Get  a niche and live a little.

Go for it.

Ever since, Uncle Cheap has been reborn.

On a mission to bridge the gap between Quality and affordability.

To live a little and enjoy the finer things in life.

Thank you for visiting your new hangout spot.
