It's been three months since my partner and I decided to start our Ukay business. Could you believe that? Time really does fly when you're chasing your dreams!
Back in December 2023, when we first decided to give this whole thing a shot, even though we were filled with so many doubts. We weren't sure if we had what it takes to make it in the world of thrift. But despite the uncertainty, we took a leap of faith and decided to go for it.
Let's be honest, though โ it hasn't all been smooth sailing. We've had our fair share of challenges along the way. From orders getting canceled to days where it felt like we were shouting into the void on social media, there were moments when we wondered if we'd made a mistake. But we refused to give up, because deep down, we knew that this was our dream. And dreams are worth fighting for, right? So we kept pushing forward, one day at a time.
And you know what? It paid off. Slowly but surely, we started to gain traction. Our little business started to buzz with activity, both online and off. We couldnโt even imagine that we would reach some people from Mindanao. And before we knew it, we had a loyal tribe of customers and new found friends that are also in to the world of thrifts who not only supported us but cheered us on every step of the way.
To all of you who have joined us on this journey โ whether you've bought something from us, left us a kind comment, or simply stopped by to say hello โ to our family, friends, and those who are dear to us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You've made these past three months truly special.
But guess what? We're just getting started. We've got big plans for the future, including our very own pop-up store! Can you imagine? It's like a dream come true. It may take time to fulfill this plan, but weโre on it and we know youโll be there to support us.
So here's to chasing dreams, overcoming doubts, and embracing every twist and turn along the way. We couldn't have done it without you, and we can't wait to see what the future holds. Here's to the next three months โ and beyond! ๐๏ธ

We also wanted to drop a quick note to apologize if our official FB Page, Urban Pile, has been a bit quiet lately. We've been dealing with some technical issues behind the scenes, but we're happy to announce that we're back up and running! We'll be posting all the items we have available for sale, so make sure to stay tuned and keep an eye out for some amazing finds.
Thanks for sticking with us, happy thrifting!
xoxo,
Urban Pile
