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.
Passionate about how people dressed and watching a show called PAQ on youtube inspired the urge to put outfits together.
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.
He had a box with formal shoes with him. He announced to everyone to be careful when walking past the shoes. Proudly showcasing his shoes to the passerby's.
The uncle was on his way to his son's bachelor's party in Kleinmond.
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.
