Getting to know Uquay

The Name

Uquay (yo͞o-kā)

Growing up in the Philippines, thrift shopping was a beloved pastime. When someone would compliment us on a great find, the common response is to proudly say, "I got this from the UK; as in UK-UK," playing on the term "Ukay-Ukay," the Filipino word for thrift store.

The Beginning

The idea for Uquay sparked when I looked around and saw so many items I had barely used but had already outgrown. Inspired by the desire to declutter and promote a more sustainable lifestyle, I created Uquay, an online thrift store where I could offer these cherished items a second life.

At Uquay, we focus on selling items I personally owned or carefully sourced new items at affordable prices. We take pride in offering a diverse range of sizes, with a special emphasis on plus sizes, ensuring everyone can find the perfect fit for their evolving style.

Here, you’ll find a curated selection of genuine products from top brands like Dior, Kate Spade, Nike, Victoria's Secret and more—all at unbeatable prices. We believe in celebrating fashion and giving new life to pre-loved treasures, making high-quality, authentic fashion accessible to all.

The Logo

The lotus symbolizes purity and the renewal that comes with releasing items you no longer need, creating space for new beginnings. Paired with a shopping bag, our logo represents the seamless journey of letting go of cherished pieces and discovering new treasures at Uquay.
