Luvit Barmouth Life RSS



Luvit is 12 Years old this year !!

I can’t quite believe that our winter break is over already. We have just reopened for what will be our 12th year here at Luvit!!  With Eunice sweeping through the country a few weeks ago, we were lucky there was not much damage to Barmouth, although the promenade had its usual battering from the high tides and winds. It brought down some of the stone wall on the far end of the prom, but that's not unusual at this time of year. Barmouth is slowly coming out of hibernation. Businesses and cafes are opening up again, which I love to see.  It can be pretty gloomy during the Winter when most things are closed up for a break. The sun has...

Hello to you! Twenty Twenty Two

Happy New year!!! Hope you all enjoyed your festive time/rest/break and are ready to head into 2022.  My little shop is closed throughout January - time to recharge my batteries, after the busiest season I've had since opening 12 years ago. Thank you. It also gives me a chance to rejig the shop and do any jobs that can only be done whilst closed.  One of my favourite thing to do this month is to look for new products and makers for the coming year. I usually go to trade shows in London and the Midlands. They are a good source of inspiration on new trends, display ideas. I even use them to source new products and suppliers ;-).  However, most have...

Why Luvit loves Roka

 Their funky colours and stylish but functional design make them easily recognisable. But what makes them so special? It's what are they made of? Most of the Roka bags we stock at Luvit are from the Roka Sustainable range. They are made using 12 to 15 recycled bottles found on beaches.  Living by the sea, I'm painfully aware of the amount of plastic that gets washed up on our much loved beaches. It makes me happy to know that plastic is being recycled to some sort of practical use. And it's how they are made? Production involves using less energy than traditional methods. In fact, Roka use 85% less energy 80% less water and 65% fewer emissions than traditional methods.  And all their bags are vegan friendly. No...
