Supplier Spotlight: @kutis_skincare

Owned by a lovely lady called Kate, who still makes them all by hand, and we've stocked her since the very beginning ☺️

We have other deodorants too, but hers is definitely the most popular.

Does it work?

Well, people tell me it does!

I (Beth L) have never used deodorant because I don't think I need it, which is more weird than I thought. I know!

As a kid, I used to watch my sister put in on deodorant and be really jealous of that.

I want to put it on and then I just never got around to doing it, and then just never wore it.

And I can't help but wonder if that's the reason I don't need it - because I've never put stuff on my skin that I didn't need?

So I don't wear deodorant, but that means I always ask customers quite personal questions about how the deodorant works for them.

So quite a few of you will have been quizzed, and also we then rely on other members of the team to test it, and people really like it, and come back and buy it again and again for it.

Have you tried it yet? (Perfect testing weather 😅)

Kutis are a wonderful product, with sustainable packaging, a great price, last for ages, and come in beeswax or vegan, with or without bicarb so lots to choose from.

We're open 9am - 4pm today.

Come and take a look.

♻️ It's World Refill Day (everyday for us), but today is a global day of action dedicated to inspiring a #ReuseRevolution across the world.

This year, World Refill Day returns to accelerate the transition to a reusable future, connecting people with sustainable choices to live with less waste.

You can download the app (🤞🏽 we're on the map of refill places) from @refillhq & @citytosea_ to join the 5 day challenge where you can choose one thing to do for 5 days or try a new thing.

Some easy starting points:

💚 Carry a refillable water bottle
💚 Use a reusable coffee cup or lunchbox
💚 Choose loose fruit & veg instead of plastic-wrapped
💚 Say no to plastic cutlery – bring your own
💚 Wrap snacks in beeswax wraps or containers

There’s no pressure to be perfect – choose one or do them all.

Just give it a go!

🥾 We're walking 20 miles to raise funds for The Village and we'd be extremely grateful if you could sponsor us.

It's been 5 years since we set up the CIC to support and work with the local community and promote environmental sustainability.

💚 Over the years we've:

◦ Saved over 10 tonnes of food from landfill with our Community Fridge.

◦ Have a community café with affordable, nutritious food and 'pay-it-forward' options via our Kindness Board.

◦ Developed and improved our accessible community garden.

◦ Provided a base for the Market Harborough Fixers who are not-for-profit and run a weekly repair Café.

◦ Provided a space for small ethical and sustainable businesses to showcase and sell their products.

◦ Run a school outreach programme that's reached more than 2,000 local school children so far.

Your donations will help us to continue our ongoing projects, develop our sustainable initiatives, work alongside more volunteers, expand the Community Fridge, and ensure our café is an affordable and welcoming space for all.

Please sponsor us with whatever you can 💚

The beauty of refill is that you can take as much or as little as you want

= less waste
= not leaving opened packets to go out of date
= trying new recipes with the exact ingredients
= trying new things because you can take a “little bit”
= (what would you add?)

This customer took some raspberry granola to try in her morning yoghurt bowl whilst refilling her stock of chia seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon and walnuts.

We’re open 9am - 4pm Tuesday - Saturdays

🫧 Supplier Spotlight: @cookslaneherbs

These soaps are handmade by a lovely local lady and were one of the first products I stocked when starting Refill.

We've sold 1000s of her soap bars since 🥰

She was originally a herb grower, and then used the herbs to make these soaps.

The smell of these takes me back to the time I used to set up the market stall and my car used to smell of those soaps. It's the smell I associate with setting up Refill!

We know people have their favourites as we're always restocking them!

Which one is your favourite?

And if you haven't tried them yet, why not?

We're open 9am - 4pm tomorrow.

Come and take a look (you'll smell gorge)

“Probably the best bottle of E.V. oil I’ve ever bought”

Thanks @violette_femme

We think so too.

It’s the best selling amazing olive oil from @honest_toil made with organic groves pressed using a village press from Tom’s organic olive grove in Greece.

It's got tons of flavor, so it's really good for salad dressings, or anything (wouldn't cook with it personally, because it's too nice).

So we do can do refills and we also stock the bottles (which look really nice) too.

Have you tried it yet?

#organicoliveoil #refillrevolution #marketharborough #marketharboroughliving #ecovillagemarketharborough

We also have a fab range of fruity, chewy, nutty, chocolatey snacks for when hunger strikes.

We’ve got something for everyone:

🍫 Chocolatey snacks - raisins, peanuts, brazils
🍍 Fruity snacks - pineapple, apple, apricots, figs (and more)
💥 Crunchy snacks - crisps, banana chips, Bombay mix

You can mix them up however you like to make your own unique snack.

That’s the beauty of shopping with us ☺️

We’re open 9am - 4pm Tues - Sat / 8pm Thurs

Supplier Spotlight : Jute Coffee @jutecoffee

It's a family-run business by a lovely guy called Craig and the best thing about our relationship is that he and I (Beth L) created his circular system together when he first set up his business.

We had a chat in my kitchen because I wanted some coffee beans, but also didn't want any waste or just get the bags, because that's not circular.

So he initially developed a system, where I used to get little airtight tins, and I used to leave them outside on my porch for him to fill them up. And it worked.

From that, he then sourced the black tubs and developed a proper circular system we use today.

Working with Craig to put his refill systems in place was an absolute dream because he's innovative, his coffee is great, and he's hugely passionate what he does.

We sell loads of coffee beans in a range of flavours because you guys love it.

I do too - which is why I have a cup in the morning and we serve it in the Village Cafe 😊

It's beginning to look a lot like...Easter 😅

When do you start buying Easter treats?

Asking for a friend 👀

🍫 We now stock @upupchocolate bars in the most delicious flavours.

In their own words:

UP-UP is 100% certified by slavefreetrade as CHILD LABOUR-FREE.

But we’re more than a chocolate bar. By shining a light on every part of our cocoa supply chain, we know how they’re treated and how they’re paid and we can be sure it’s fair, it’s honest.

So you can feel good when you unwrap a bar of our chocolate. Really, really good.

UP-UP is great chocolate. No downside.

Which flavour takes your fancy?

Fresh peanut butter?

You can’t get any fresher than this!

Bring a jar, choose your fave (smooth, medium or crunchy) & enjoy.

We’re open 9am - 4pm.

Do you know we stock Just Crisps?

I did loads of research looking for zero packaging crisps at the start ot Refill, and we've been stocking them ever since!

They're a family run farm in Staffordshire.

They grow potatoes, and make these delicious crisps using their award-winning cold-pressed rapeseed oil.

Two homegrown ingredients working in perfect harmony to create the ultimate British crisp, in their humble opinion.

We get them in big buckets.

So you can buy them by the bucket (which some people do) or buy them straight into your own containers.

You're more than welcome to try before you buy too 😊

Don't forget we're open until 8pm tonight.

Come and try some.

Poor @rita_the_roadster hasn't had the best start to the year 🫠

She went to hospital for an MOT in January, which took a while to get things sorted, but she's back on the road now so please go and see her if you can.

The wonderful @fill_co have developed totally zero waste, plastic-free, vegan, natural and cruelty free products and we love stocking them.

They’re local to Market Harborough too!⠀

They’re fully circular, which means they take back empties, wash and refill.

We will always be 100% honest with you about our suppliers, their systems and how lovely they are because we work really closely with them.

We get to know them - warts and all in some cases, which means that we can help you to choose the products that suit your ethics and values.⠀

Have you tried any of the products?

He chose the nuts he wanted, so you get exactly what you want 😋

What would be in your mix?

Bring a jar and let's fill 🫙

“Probably the best bottle of E.V. oil I’ve ever bought”
- Violette Femme

We think so too.

There's a reason it's our best selling extra virgin olive oil, and it's back in stock for refills and bottles.

It's straight from the organic groves of small growers in Kyparissia, Greece and pressed using a village press 🥰

(Which is why it looks like this when it's cold 😅)

Come and get some, we're open until 8pm tonight.

#organicoliveoil #refillrevolution #marketharborough #marketharboroughliving #ecovillagemarketharborough

📣 The Bombay mix is back!

We really like the Japanese Rice Crackers too - yum 😋

How about you?

We're open 9am - 4pm tomorrow.

Come and get some!

In case you were wondering what to sort of containers to bring into Refill, this customer brought:

• Fabric bags for granola and pasta
• An old bottle for washing up liquid
• A bottle for rinse aid
• A pump hand wash bottle for shower gel
• An old peanut butter carton for peanut butter
• and a glass bottle for chocolates drops

It doesn’t matter what you take your refills as long as it does the job!

You’ll save money and the planet every refill at a time 🙌🏽

We’re open 9am - 4pm.
Come and see us.

📣 Public service announcement!

Chocolate Brazils have been restocked

We know how much you love them so come stock up over the weekend ☺️

#refillrevolution #refillrevolutionmarketharborough #refillshop #leicestershire #northamptonshire

Time for a top up?

No matter what size or shape your containers are, we’ll happily fill them up.

I like to keep this tiny spray bottle of all purpose cleaner in my little office so that I can give my desk a little wipe down…occasionally.

The pine nuts jar is excessive really but they are one of my little luxuries, as are the chocolate brazils which I keep in my favourite enamel splatterware dish.

We’re back open as usual, so bring your containers and let's get them refilled again.
