Tell us about Hushday
Hushday is a private sales platform that offers exclusive 5-day flash sales on curated premium and luxury brands, with discounts of up to 75%.
It’s 100% members-only, so you need to be invited or join the waiting list to access the sales.
We work directly with fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands to sell past-season collections in a way that protects their image while giving customers access to beautiful, desirable products — at exceptional prices.
Every week, we launch new limited-time sales across categories like women’s fashion, men’s, kids, accessories, beauty, and home.
It’s fast, curated, and always changing — which makes it exciting. We’re bringing a fresh, elevated take on online outlet shopping to the Middle East.
How did you come up with the idea for the company?
The idea came from a very real and growing challenge in the fashion world: overstock.
Brands and retailers are under pressure to renew their collections every 3 months — which means that every season, beautiful unsold inventory piles up in warehouses. On the other hand, consumers are constantly looking for ways to access premium and luxury brands at more affordable prices — but without compromising on quality or style.
And in between? Not much.
Most existing platforms either destroy value or destroy the brand image. Worse, fast fashion fills the gap — offering low prices at a high environmental cost.
So I saw an opportunity to do better.
To build a model that creates value on both sides:
— for brands, by offering a selective, brand-safe way to manage their excess stock
— and for members, by giving them access to desirable products at exclusive prices — without guilt, without compromise
That’s how Hushday was born: from the need to bridge this gap, in a smarter, more sustainable, and more curated way.
How do you think the eCommerce sector has changed in recent years?
E-commerce has evolved radically — for both customers and brands.
Luxury labels once avoided digital altogether. Then came a rush to go online, often at the cost of brand control. Today, they want to reclaim how and where they’re sold, especially when it comes to overstock. Hushday offers them exactly that: a curated, invite-only platform where they can destock without damaging their image.
At the same time, consumers want more than convenience. They’re looking for emotion, personalization, and a sense of belonging. They want to shop smarter, discover new things, and feel part of a community.
We’ve built Hushday at the intersection of both needs:
A brand-safe space for labels, and an exciting, curated experience for members. That’s where the future of e-commerce lies — in restoring meaning, control, and connection.
Do you think there is a growing market for premium fashion?
Absolutely — and the Middle East is one of the most exciting regions driving that growth.
Cities like Dubai and Riyadh are emerging as global fashion capitals, with a young, connected population, rising purchasing power, and a strong appetite for luxury. People here are looking for access, exclusivity, and meaning — not just logos.
At the same time, consumers are becoming more conscious. There’s a real shift toward responsible consumption, and Hushday fits perfectly in that space — offering curated premium pieces already produced, while helping brands manage their inventory in a controlled, image-safe way.
It’s not just a growing market — it’s a smarter, more sustainable one.
What is your advice to aspiring entrepreneurs?
Entrepreneurship is a mix of caresses and slaps — all day long.
The highs are exhilarating, but the lows hit just as hard. Everything is amplified because we’re not just building a business — we’re putting our soul, our energy, and often our entire identity into it.
You have to be ready to eat, sleep, and breathe your project. Your mind will rarely switch off. Even when you’re with friends, in the shower, or on holiday — the business is always there, somewhere in your thoughts.
And let’s be clear: entrepreneurship is risky.
I’m not a big believer in the “build something on the side and see what happens” approach. If you’re not all in, it doesn’t work. Success doesn’t come by chance — it comes with full commitment and real, hard work.
But the most important thing? Surround yourself with the right people.
Talk to others. Ask for advice. Share your doubts.
Entrepreneurship can be lonely, but it doesn’t have to be isolating. The more feedback you get, the faster you grow.
What markets do you think are leading the global eCommerce space?
China is still far ahead in innovation, live shopping, and mobile-first ecosystems. The US leads in DTC brand building. But the GCC?
The Gulf is the next frontier. Young, wealthy, mobile-first consumers. A massive appetite for luxury. And brands looking for smarter ways to manage inventory. The region is ready for its own premium digital champions — and Hushday is here to lead that wave.
What can we hope to see from Hushday in the future?
Our goal is clear: to become the leading flash sales platform in the Middle East.
We want to set the standard for how premium and luxury brands manage their excess inventory — with control, desirability, and impact.
But beyond that, Hushday is on its way to becoming a true tech company.
We’re already working on advanced data tools to better understand our customers, personalize their journey, and anticipate what they’ll want next.
We’re also investing in AI — not just for content automation or process optimization, but to create a smarter, more seamless shopping experience for our members and a more efficient platform for brands.
What we’re building isn’t just an e-commerce platform.
It’s a tech-enabled ecosystem that’s shaping the future of private sales in the region — and beyond.
