This is the cutest shop on Magazine Street! So many great gifts that represent New Orleans…read more I wasn't really in the market for anything, just browsing, but then I found a lovely Magnolia patterned dog collar - perfect for my beagador named MAGNOLIA! Then I found out from the shop attendant that the state flower of Louisiana is the Magnolia! What??? My boyfriend's mom was born & raised in NOLA and loved our dog. She has been gone for a year and half, so finding this out strangely makes me feel connected to her and that she is still around. :*) Anyway, the sweet shop guy asked me to tell him the story of how my dog and I found each other. I recounted the tale of how I found her at PAWS Chicago, where she came from originally (Oklahoma), that she had a brother named "Steel", how she saved me from a life of stress, and then our connection to NOLA. I always appreciate when someone can create a warm and fuzzy moment. So thank you, Shop Guy! The collar is high quality all around - material and construction. I have purchased MANY custom collars for my baby girl and this has been the best so far. It's worth the money because I know it will last for a long time. I will be checking out their website for Christmas gift ideas since we won't be back until next year!

Adorbs! What a bright, delightful little shop at the Irish Channel end of Magazine. If you are a…read moreproud native of the Gulf Coast, or just an enthusiastic visitor/transplant (or gift giver to someone who is), you will find something to love at NOLA Couture. Think of all the symbols of New Orleans and bayou culture and cuisine. Now imagine those artfully integrated into a subtle, tasteful geometric pattern that appears on high quality accessories for ladies, men, kids, and furry friends who want to keep a little NOLA with them always. NOLA Couture has developed custom fabrics and ribbons that show off your Gulf Coast pride in a classic preppy style that you can wear to office or church without coming off too wacky. Think ties, belts, key fobs, bags, scarves, pet collars & leashes, insulated tumblers, glassware, candles, and so on. The ties and scarves are 100% silk & wool. Patterns include: --red beans & rice --snoballs --poboys & hot sauce --gumbo --seafood --shrimp cocktail --beignets & cafe au lait --gators --redfish --Mardi Gras kings --Saints --Louisiana --sea turtles --pirates --2nd line --boats --mosquitos --fleur de lis --fleur de sea (with a fish, shrimp, oyster, and crawfish) --street cars --hurricanes --daiquiris --seahorses --oysters & pearls --pelicans --mallards --seersucker I could not resist coming home with a red beans & rice belt for myself, plus a few ties for the Cajun/Creole men in the family. I'll probably be heading back to the online store for more gifts for upcoming birthdays. Fans of LSU, Bama, Tulane, SMU (oddly), Florida and other southern colleges can find some neat things here, too. NOLA Couture even can do custom designs for you (your school, business logo, etc.), and shipping is free for orders over $65. Prices are not cheap (ranging from $10 for a laser etched glass to $95 for a loomed scarf), but the quality of the all the goods appears solid. If you are looking for $10 T-shirts about drinking on Bourbon, this isn't your shop, but then you knew that!

It's more than just a vintage store. Every aspect of the shop feels intentional. It's an…read moreenvironment where people are invited to slow down and reconnect with themselves through clothing, style, and presence. But that's only what's experienced on the surface. If you could strip yourself down to your bare bones--who is looking back in the mirror, and how would you re-layer yourself to show up in the world? What version of you is on the other side, waiting to be expressed? Bdffrnt felt like a transformational space to me in a way that is rare. I experienced it as a place where you're encouraged to explore--not just the pieces, but how you feel in them and what they bring out in you. There's no pressure or force, just genuine warmth, guidance, and a sense of openness if you come in willing to engage with yourself. Astrid, the owner, brought a grounded and attentive presence. She was available in a way that felt supportive without being intrusive, which added to the overall feeling of ease in the space. She asks real questions to get to know you. She offers pieces you otherwise may look past. It's as if she sees the version of you often held back from the world, and encourages you toward what feels more fully expressed. Yes, through clothing, but also in life in general. It's less about shopping quickly and more about having a moment to reflect, try things on, and notice what resonates. A version of play that leads to self-discovery. What do you see in yourself through the process? What do you learn? What do you like, and what would you want to shift? A real experience unlike any other. Whether you leave with a new piece or simply a new perspective, the experience stays with you long after you walk out the door.

As a bonified fashionista, let me tell you that men of style have at least one place to shop in…read morethis fashion wasteland we call New Orleans... and that place is Billy Reid. I'm frankly surprised he can stay open in this town... his cloths don't have any fleur-de-lis... there are no "craw daddies"... the inseams are longer than the waistbands... how do they find customers here? I'm spending the summer house sitting, and frankly I find the level of style in New Orleans appalling. I'm what they call a Cali-Yorker, and I'm used to a much higher level of sophistication. Having said that, I haven't actually bought anything at Billy Reid. Primarily because I'm a bit cash poor right now and I'm relegated to window shopping for the moment... but also because I am working a signature lewk these days that doesn't totally line up with the Billy Reid aesthetic. My lewks tend to come and go with the seasons... for fall it was all zip-up onesies in bold colors with a contrasting neckerchief. The summer has me mostly wearing short sleeve v-neck djellabas and nothing else. I need that breeze blowing! Anyway. YES TO BILLY REID!

I've enjoyed going to this store since its opening. I'm always greeted with a welcome as soon as I walk in the door, along with some wonderful tunes playing in the background. The front of the store is laid out to allow you to view clothes under the natural light from the windows. I appreciate this detail because colors can look COMPLETELY different outside than indoors. Take a few steps up and you'll see an elongated wooden table with complimented benches to display all their seasonal goodies (shirts, jeans, shoes, bow ties, etc). The back of the store houses a BEAUTIFUL bar/register (marble counter?) and a big ol' mirror that worth taking a minutes to observe. The entire store is covered in unique paintings and portraits as well as fresh floral arrangements . Take a look up while you're shopping to enjoy them. Side note....ask to check out the kitchen. Y'all have to love the butcher block and oven range! Amazing store and team! See y'all soon!

Needing a suit quickly for a funeral the next day would have been nearly impossible for the fashion-challenged individuals that we are. Within 30 seconds of entering the store, a female employee offered help. Tranicka (the spelling may be wrong) patiently outfitted us with the perfect sized suite, advised us on color and style choices appropriate for a funeral and did it all with a smile and casual sense of humor. We were truly appreciative of her knowledge and willingness to help, as we would have been completely lost, not even knowing what size to start with. Tranicka knew just by looking. In all, she set us up with everything we needed, including shoes, shirt, socks and a tie. She even tied the tie for us! I would shop here again as the personalized service provided by Tranicka was not to be beat and we were completely outfitted in under an hour.
