Stumbled upon this vintage shop on a walk to brunch and honestly loooved the window displays which drew me in immediately. They have such a wide variety in here from cards, to books, to the cutest vintage clothing items I have seen in a while. There is a broad price range as well so there were definitely a ton of cute items that I felt were fairly priced and gentle on the wallet. The knits and dresses were insanely eye-catching and I wanted to try on so many things; alas, I was traveling light with a small suitcase and couldn't realistically take anything back home so I resisted tempation. There was also super interesting jewelry, hats, swimsuits, workout wear and a little movie section in the back. I could have spent hours in here just wandering around and looking at things so definitely recommend!

This was my favorite store that I visited on Magazine Street and am so disappointed that something like this doesn't exist in my hometown. The ambiance inside is fantastic, there's so many interested things for sale and a lot of it was handmade by artists which is so unique. It feels very special to buy something that you know someone else made and not something that's mass produced, it makes the item special and unique, especially if it's a souvenir or gift. I was so blown away by all of the awesome cards they had for sale and the beautiful hair clips that were shaped like foods, animals, and more. I could've spent all day in here. They also had a really cute miniature art museum with some pieces for sale. I really loved this store and cannot wait to visit again!

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!

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!

When I worked at a Pandora store in Chicago several years ago, I was made aware that every city has their exclusive charms, and I knew I needed a New Orleans one. The sales associate with red hair (she never gave me her name) who helped us was really sweet, it didn't take long for her to notice that I needed some help, and she even left the charms out for me to look/touch while she went to grab her glasses. I can appreciate her for trusting that I wouldn't walk right out the store with the product, and the one charm that caught my eye was the Cathedral with a blue backdrop. She was sweet to explain to us that the cathedral is right around the corner just walking distance from the shop, and we actually saw it right by Jackson Square on our way to Bungalows. I love how this is a boutique but they also carry so many different brands of jewelry (Alex & Ani, Brighton, etc), and they had a designated Pandora section that's visible right when you enter. I'd recommend Bungalows to anyone in the area looking for some Pandora charms or a boutique.

The staff, especially Ashley, were friendly, professional, and responsive, even following up on an item that was promised after my visit. That said, my advice to future shoppers is simple: research before you buy. Chanel costume jewelry carries a premium because of the brand, but it is still costume jewelry and often does not contain precious stones or metals. I learned too late that some of the pieces I purchased were priced at more than double their market value. To be fair, I take responsibility for not taking a moment to compare prices online before making my purchase. The sales experience was persuasive, and I was led to believe I was receiving a significant discount. In hindsight, a quick search on my phone would have provided valuable perspective. This is not a reason to avoid shopping at Vintage 329. The merchandise is unique, stylish, and fun, and the staff were genuinely pleasant to work with. However, buyer beware: take a few minutes to research the item, understand its current market value, and make an informed purchasing decision. Doing so can help you avoid overpaying and ensure you feel confident about your purchase.

I was trying to support a local business, but Guitar Center ended up getting my money because they are shockingly willing to answer basic questions. Second visit, I wisely stayed at the coffee shop next door to avoid being scoffed at again. Unfortunately, my 13-year-old daughter wasn't as lucky. She went in to spend her birthday money and left shortly after because Guy with Hair followed her around the store like she was planning an elaborate heist. She's 13. Her crime was wanting to shop. She came out and said he was creepy and rude, so we left. Birthday money unspent, lesson learned. Weird behavior. Weird store. Weird guy
