My sweet uncle passed away recently, and when his last wishes were revealed I found out that he…read morewanted his urn to be decorated with both Tulane and LSU artwork. Now, I was able to find an LSU urn, and I was able to find a Tulane urn, but both on one urn.....nope. I had no idea where to turn, so I started with vinyl shops. One of them felt quite certain that Design a Latte could help. As strange as my request was, the young ladies at the shop were happy to hear my ideas and help me give my uncle exactly what he wanted. They were professional and the urn was ready in 2 days. I was blown away. The funeral services were today and everyone loved the urn! I can't thank Design a Latte enough! You all are wonderful!

Really excited to have them in the neighborhood.

I hate to have to write this (I really like the idea of supporting local & understand running a…read morebusiness is challenging), but this is the 2nd time that we've been completely ignored by customer service regarding a simple issue. Last time I ordered an item in a medium & was emailed an abrupt refund notification (even though the website said "in stock"). I reached out a couple of times about maybe getting a large instead & no one ever responded. Baffling. Recently I gave it another shot (though because of my diminished confidence I ordered twice as many items this time from BN Bookstore simultaneously since they promote that "satisfaction is our goal"). I relied on a description on the CC website that a sweatshirt was 100% cotton. Not a big fan of 50-50 (don't like the feel or the static) & never would have ordered one if it had been accurately described. I don't know what went wrong this time but it arrived in 50-50 material. Very disappointing, but whatever, I did still like the design. Tweeted about the unfortunate mislabeling snafu and yet again received no response or even the slightest acknowledgment. Deja vu. Just a little attention and culpability would have been nice, but I think I'm done here. And kinda Bummed out also. I liked having a creative alternative as a choice, but what good is it if customer respect & fulfillment is lacking.

I was at the window peering inside, promising myself that I'd return during business hours. Then I saw the twirl of two knitting needles and noticed a person was holding them, working on their own project. To my shock, the sign on the door listed hours until 11 pm. I saw the neon "OPEN" sign alit, but I assumed that someone forgot to turn it off. When you step inside you feel like you've entered a cozy new dimension. The owner, Ellie, gave me a tour of the magical space. I got to see the custom coffin where they dry their hand dyed yarn, the knitting group room where you can come in and work on creative projects with others or hop onto the Google meet rooms and join them virtually. Ellie also offers a FREE knitting class. There's also a larger selection of yarn than you'd think from the small storefront. Inside you'll find more than one room of assorted yarn. I walked away from what felt like a sanctuary with a bounty of beautiful heavyweight acrylic that I'm using to make pompoms. In this time of endless subscriptions and fewer third spaces, it's touching to see a business foster community the way that YarNOLA is doing. I can't wait to go back.

They have a unique selection of hand dyed yarn from various dyers around the country and their own hand dyed yarn (dyed in shop!) as well as a large selection of colors and materials of imported yarn. How do I know all of this? The owner gave me a tour of the whole place and told me about each of the dyers she sells for. It was amazing! She also listened to what my upcoming project was and provided suggestions of yarns for me! The hand dyed yarns aren't cheap, but they are 100% worth the cost, especially with many of them having a percentage of the purchase going to a cause. They are pretty comparable to the cost of most hand dyed yarns I've seen. The imported yarn is a great price! Cheaper than a lot of other places and I was a big fan of the ones I bought. They also have some awesome handmade acrylic crochet hooks in fun colors! Highly recommend, especially if you are looking for an alternative to big box craft stores.
