Yes, they do have stuff made of bones and nails so the name doesn't disappoint. It's not a huge store but there is still a ton of stuff to see. The staff has been polite and not pushy. The store is a vintage shotgun so the steps were a little steep for my 70+ Mom.

They have a nice little collection of jewelry- necklaces, rings, bracelets and the like. Not everything is made from animal products, so if that isn't your thing, you might find something else that you like. The jewelry here is definitely more on the "artsy" side, but they did have a wide selection of items. Aside from jewelry, there is a nice little collection of artwork and postcards, which would make perfect gifts for the friend who is into things that are a little different.

My hubby brought me here and bought me a beautiful and high quality hand-woven women's Panama hat while we were visiting New Orleans. Chris Meyer, great-grandson of Meyer the Hatter himself, fitted me with the perfect hat. I love hats, and I know I'll get years of use out of it. The shop is filled with hats and knowledgeable hatters who will help you without hard selling you. If you've never worn a hat, but have been thinking about trying it, I highly recommend Meyer the Hatter.

We decided that this paired with the incredible window displays was a sign that we had to stop in to shop around. As a huge fan of accessories, especially earrings, I was immediately drawn to a large display in the back of the room with endless cute earring options. I couldn't leave without adding two new pairs of earrings to my collection. One pair was $28 and the other, more elaborate pair, was $32. There was a wide assortment of seasonal and every day accessory options. The boutique also offered a great selection of clothing basics, a sales rack, and some great seasonal pieces for affordable price points. In addition to my earrings, I snagged two trendy hair clips for $12 each.

It is on the pricey side, but you will NOT be disappointed with the styles and colors on the dresses. The purses/clutches were super cute as well! Luckily...I've already indulged in my purse addiction so, in my mind, I only needed new clothes! haha Very cute store, friendly staff. Def planning on visiting this place again whenever I'm in town!

It's YE Gurl Says @ The Hat Loft -- A New Orleans Legacy Still Holding…read more Let me speak on it: New Orleans, baby... she ain't what she used to be. And the construction choking Royal Street? A major faux pas. Shame on whoever signed off on that chaos, because starving out small businesses in a city built on entrepreneurship, artistry, and grit is not the move. But even in the rubble of poor city planning, the real New Orleans still shines -- especially in places like The Hat Loft, one of the last-standing OGs. Back in my student days, during my broke-but-joyful New Orleans era, I used to walk by this shop dreaming of the day I could afford a real, grown-folks hat. The kind jazz musicians tip, the kind elders nod in respect at. Well guess what? Today was that day. And YE Gurl walked in ready. The Experience Monet and the team greeted us with that old-school New Orleans warmth -- the kind you can't fabricate. The kind that makes you feel like you're somebody's cousin returning home. They walked the beau and me through the history and styles of different fedoras, including those classic musician silhouettes that are practically part of the city's DNA. The Picks We landed on two beauties: Mad Dog - Winter Pine ($140) Hitman - Black ($140) One giving jazz-club potboy realness, the other giving winter suave. And because it's New Orleans -- the land of adornment -- we added feathers to each hat: Two on one hat One on the other All $6 each, and all perfectly matched to his vibe. Lagniappe (the little extra) We even got restaurant recommendations because that's what real New Orleans businesses do: they take care of you beyond the transaction. YE Gurl's Verdict I miss the friendliness, the style, the spirit of pre-beige-washing New Orleans -- but The Hat Loft, open since 1929, does not miss. It stands tall. It stands proud. And it stands as proof that the soul of this city still lives in its people, its makers, and its Black-owned institutions that have weathered nearly a century of everything. If you're in the city, don't walk -- strut -- to The Hat Loft. The culture is alive in there. The service is real. And the hats? Baby, they're a whole mood.
