Having supported this business during lockdown by making purchases online, I was finally able to pay a visit to the shop having seen a couple of things I was interested in purchasing. Unfortunately, they didn't have the size I wanted, but the sales assistant offered the next size up - I said that I would need to take them home to try & I made my purchases. A week later I went to return my purchase as they unfortunately didn't fit, which is when I discovered that their policy is only to offer exchanges or credit notes - NO REFUNDS. I am disappointed that this wasn't made clear at the time of purchase. I clearly said that I would need to take the item home to try given that it wasn't in the size I really needed - if the sales assistant had said at that point 'are you aware of our returns policy?' - misunderstandings could have been avoided. There is a ridiculously small sign, partially obscured, resting on top of the radiator in the shop that details the returns policy for items purchased in the shop - annoyingly if I had purchased online, I was told that I could have returned the items no problem - go figure! The sign is not possible to read from the till point and should be at least as big as the sign advising you of the limits for card payments etc. I really wanted to support the local high street, but I'm afraid this has left a bit of a bitter taste & I won't be returning.

Located on the high street this great little female clothing and accessories boutique packs a lot…read moreof choice into a very small space! The window display is always enticing and I can never resist popping in for a browse if I'm walking past. As you walk in, there are a couple of rails of clothing, with a good but small handpicked range of dresses, tops, sweaters, blouses, skirts and trousers as well as some shoes dotted here and there and accessories such as belts and handbags. Mainly catering for ladies in their early teens to early thirties, the clothes are usually from lesser known brands rather than designer but are in the latest fresh, vibrant and trendy fashions and very reasonably priced too! I picked up a gorgeous summer dress from there last summer for just £25 and then spotted Kelly Brook wearing the same dress on TV just weeks later! Making use of every available space, the small back room has more rails of clothes, basic curtained-off fitting rooms and an area for more accessories and toiletries from brands such as Burts Bees. The two ladies that run the boutique are very friendly and on hand to help and offer advice if needed. While small, I think the boutique offers a great clothes shopping experience and fills the gap that Market Harborough previously had for affordable fashion for the younger female.

They sell loads of gifts, some quite unusual and not the sort of thing that is found in mainstream high street stores. The gifts are really pretty and interesting, examples are things like fairy collectables, wind chimes, dream catchers, unique style jewellery and handbags. It is a really small shop, but the staff are really great and leave you to browse freely without bothering you all the time and don't make you feel uneasy like in some stores. If you are looking for something a bit special or unusual for someone (although most of the gifts are aimed towards females), then try this shop as you will probably find something and the prices are pretty reasonable too. I was pleasantly surprised as was expecting the items to be much more expensive.

The atmosphere is really relaxed and peaceful. It is full of Buddhas and Incense sticks and scented candles and novelty candles. They have little sets of candles that spell out I LOVE YOU and HAPPY BIRTHDAY as well as for the festive season candles that spelt out HAPPY NEW YEAR and MERRY CHRISTMAS. They also have a large selection of hand made jewellery as well as ethical begs and accessories. I bought Christmas presents for my best friend there - A glas wall plaque saying PEACE and a gorgeous incense stick holder in the shape of the Buddha. Another great accolade to this store is the friendliness of the staff. They are helpful but not intrusive. They say Hi to you as you enter but in a pleasant polite and friendly way as opposed to being in your face. As the asistant carefully wraped my gifts, we chatted about the holidays and the weather and as I left she wished me farewell and welcomed me back again. I can't wait to visit again - even if it is just to browse.
