Cool little shop that sells an assortment of Mardi Gras masks in the French Quarter…read more Although pretty much every place in New Orleans sells Mardi Gras masks, this place sells both the cheapy, $5, made in China ones that you can get at CVS and Walgreens, but it also has an assortment of handmade masks that start in the $140+ range. My favorite masks were the ones that had beads or lace like a belly dancer veil that could cover a Covid mask. That's a unique feature that I haven't seen on other masks. This would be a good place to get a more elaborate mask if you had a specific costume that you were buying for, but be prepared to shell out some cash.

The girl behind the counter was rude as H3ll. Like girl, I did not make you work here. She kept trying to sell me a different item than what I wanted. I ended up reluctantly purchasing item I wanted, against her will it seemed, as I really needed it. Going forward they do not have to worry about stepping foot in there again. My daughter went last week unknowingly to me and also had a terrible experience with the same person. I like to support local businesses , but this girl needs some customer service training.

The one downside is that the line in the fabric room can get long and it's first come first served, so when I just needed a roll of ribbon I had to stand behind 15 people who needed fabric cut. That was tedious. They don't have as many different throws as some of the other places, but this is a good place to come to fill in the gaps. Next year I'm going to really do up my Mardi Gras costume and I'm going to get some higher end fabric and this is where I'm coming!

The very friendly employee explained that the original owner made costumes for many years before she passed and the shop now continues in her memory. They sell fabric, appliqués and trims. The selection appears to be geared for people making Mardi Gras carnival costumes but I still found something I could use to make regular streetwear. Prices were reasonable, I got 4 yards of a specialty fabric for under $40. Not as wide a selection as Joanns of course but what it lacks in size it makes up for in character & niche materials. I recommend stopping by!

There were several pieces posted on the instagram as well well as Etsy shop that ai was interested in. The worker for one was very dismissive and acted like I couldn't have been wasting their time more. They told me some of the stuff was in the back and that they weren't sure if they were still available. They then got a call from the actual store owner Claudia who I asked if she knew where these items were. I described the garments as listed and was then put on the phone with her. She was also quite disrespectful and had me on the phone with her for 5 minutes talking in circles on why she wasn't sure of her own inventory. I will not be back, I have unfollowed the account on instagram, and I left upset and feeling heavily disrespected. I am a queer man by the way.

I did a bit of due diligence and checked out the masks in the other mask shops in the vicinity but none of the other had the selection/quality. I also have to give a shout out to the owner. I paid to have the mask shipped, and it arrived quite damaged. I luckily had taken a picture when I purchased it so I was able to send a mail showing the before and after that clearly illustrated the damage. Mohammed agreed to have another mask made for me (I wanted the same one) and sent it out within the week.
