    I have been wanting to come to Dirty Coast for some time. I live in the Metairie, and lately haven't found much reason to come in recently. But I made the decision to come on over and hit this and a few other businesses in the area. I purchased the Bernie shirt they had as a fundraiser for the local food banks, and even more recently a t-shirt for fundraising for the local area affected recently by the tornadoes. I finally made it in. There is no dedicated parking lot, but there is plenty of street parking nearby. The employee working when I came in was very friendly and helpful. I was able to get a few t-shirts and am very happy. I look forward to coming back in the future.

    From their website. Adorable, right?

    When I say there is no place like Nola, I mean it. There is no place like Nola. Dirty Coast is one of those locally owned places that will make you a believer in this very accurate fact. Excuse, I don't mean to be rude but I want a Big Freedia in my pocket. You already know. I am a New Orleanian WHEREVER I am. Yeah, I'm in that number. I do what I wanna and I listen to my city. Dirty Coast is the perfect souvenir shop for tourists. Stay away from those awful t-shirt shops in the Quarter yall! If you want real New Orleans go to Dirty Coast. The t-shirt designs are so us and authentic. I also love (with a capital L) their prints. I purchased a few of them for some very special people in my life just recently for gifts. The New Orleans Water Meter door mat is genius and I want one! They also have adorable kids gifts too. A sippy cup that says "My first go cup"? Yep, every baby in my family will have one. Do your kids ever wonder what the sleepy animals do at the Audubon Zoo? Well wonder no more, little ones. Dirty Coast has a adorable picture book that will answer dat. So go represent the 504 and get yourself to Dirty Coast. They ARE New Orleans.

    Koozies!

    My friend Jackie is a fan of Dirty Coast. She ownes a few of their t-shirts. It's a locally-themed t-shirts place that also carries koozies, greeting and holiday cards, ball caps, kids t-shirts and many other NOLA themes gifts items. I almost forgot about their mystery t-shirt in the tube they have to sell also. Keep in mind that these are not your regular local T-shirts, it's local-themed T-shirt with clever cool designs. I love their location because it's directly across the street of Whole food!

    Dirty Coast is definitely a place to get Nola style printed t-shirts. The store has a collection of popular stuff such as coozies and art pieces. They appear to stay busy as people were coming and going constantly. My favorite product that I saw was a toy crawfish pot with all of the accessories, absolutely adorable. I only gave 3 stars because the place is very small, making it hard to look around comfortably. Most people were in and out quickly but I like to browse. If I want a specific shirt in the future, I would come back here.

    The is the 3rd location for this local NOLA business. I love their shirts and the offered designs. Bought my first shirt from them to support the 2016 flood relief here in south LA and in checking out their website really liked the shirt designs and when I got an email telling me they'd opened a new store on Royal & Orleans I knew I'd have to check it out next time I was in NOLA... Took my kids to the Beignet Fest and with the crowds overwhelming decided we'd roll on to the Quarter and I could feed them kids and check out this new location... Had 1 person working the shop and she was friendly and helpful and got a kick out of the fact I was wearing a Dirty Coast shirt...did some browsing and picked up another shirt and a hat for myself...The daughter found one but they didn't have it in Xtra Small (must be nice to have that problem)...but the staff made a call to the main location to only find out they were all out of x-small in the design my daughter wanted...but they took my info and I'm confident I'll be hearing from them shortly so I can get that shirt my daughter was in love with... If you're in the Quarter or over in the Marigny or hanging out on Magazine stop in and check them out...Quality shirts, NOLA made!

    Mr Okra in my pocket!

    This store is everything a T-shirt shop needs to be! I'm a T-shirt junkie so I probably buy one of these every 2 or 3 months for different occasions like a Pels game, music festival, baby showers, or some lagniappe soft T just for the hellavit. All the designs are displayed easily for you to see what's in stock, and the clerk is always there to help you pull your size from the pile without messing everything up (my worst fear in such an organized shop). I think they also have a discounted discontinued pile that's not too shabby. I would say make sure to try on or check the sizes because for different types of shirts, they range and you're usually gonna rock one bigger than you normally do, IMO. I just recently discovered that their baby T's (no not the T-shirts you wore in the '90s, the ones for actual babies) are uber affordable, as are their baby bibs. The staff again was very helpful in talking baby sizes with me; a definite unchartered territory for me. I got a T and a washboard bib for a friend's shower feeling pretty swell about my uniquely New Orleans gift. There are also some fun little gifts by the counter, but I like that they stick to what they do best as a T-shirt shop...And there's always free stickers. Yeah, ya right! Parking is a little bit of a b, but (though not advocated/recommended) I can usually park pseudo-illegally, get in, and get out on a weekday if I check out the designs online and know what I'm running in for...or else you'll just buy up the whole store.

    Love that Dirty Coast can have some fun with their shirts! lol

    Cute stuff, and a sweet and helpful clerk in the store. Was a little limited in items to buy, but other than that worth a look!

    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!
