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!

Will helped me with finding a pair of pants perfect for me and assisted in altering them for my short frame. He also helped me with arranging delivery of a Robert Graham shirt that was out of stock in my size. He also guided me to some suit coats. Sadly, I didn't get the blue velvet Etro - this time.

As a bonified fashionista, let me tell you that men of style have at least one place to shop in…read morethis fashion wasteland we call New Orleans... and that place is Billy Reid. I'm frankly surprised he can stay open in this town... his cloths don't have any fleur-de-lis... there are no "craw daddies"... the inseams are longer than the waistbands... how do they find customers here? I'm spending the summer house sitting, and frankly I find the level of style in New Orleans appalling. I'm what they call a Cali-Yorker, and I'm used to a much higher level of sophistication. Having said that, I haven't actually bought anything at Billy Reid. Primarily because I'm a bit cash poor right now and I'm relegated to window shopping for the moment... but also because I am working a signature lewk these days that doesn't totally line up with the Billy Reid aesthetic. My lewks tend to come and go with the seasons... for fall it was all zip-up onesies in bold colors with a contrasting neckerchief. The summer has me mostly wearing short sleeve v-neck djellabas and nothing else. I need that breeze blowing! Anyway. YES TO BILLY REID!

I've enjoyed going to this store since its opening. I'm always greeted with a welcome as soon as I walk in the door, along with some wonderful tunes playing in the background. The front of the store is laid out to allow you to view clothes under the natural light from the windows. I appreciate this detail because colors can look COMPLETELY different outside than indoors. Take a few steps up and you'll see an elongated wooden table with complimented benches to display all their seasonal goodies (shirts, jeans, shoes, bow ties, etc). The back of the store houses a BEAUTIFUL bar/register (marble counter?) and a big ol' mirror that worth taking a minutes to observe. The entire store is covered in unique paintings and portraits as well as fresh floral arrangements . Take a look up while you're shopping to enjoy them. Side note....ask to check out the kitchen. Y'all have to love the butcher block and oven range! Amazing store and team! See y'all soon!

If you're in the market for bespoke men's wear in the New Orleans area - do not pass go, do not collect $200 - find yourself to the Magazine Street showroom ASAP.

The things I don't like about this place, are the prices. BUT! If you bring in 5 t-shirts, as I understand it, it can be any 5 shirts, not a certain brand, you get a $25 off credit. This makes the place a little more affordable as long as you're only buying one item. Another thing I liked about this place is they have men's size "larger". This is a size large through the chest area but longer in the waist area. I think these "in between" sizes they carry is an awesome idea. I also love the atmosphere. Records on the wall, great decor and super cute clothes if you're willing to spend $60 on a blouse. I wish I was in that tax bracket but unfortunately, I am not. The "oh hey" in the entry is my fave. It's the little things that make me happy.

Our visit to Perlis (Uptown location) on April 10, 2026 left a really bad impression…read more My girlfriend and I, both locals, were shopping on Magazine Street for a dress for a summer wedding. We spotted one in the window that we loved, so we went upstairs to check it out. A clerk asked if we needed anything, and we happily said yes--we were looking for the dress in the window and just wanted to check the sizes and availability. Her response? "There are four dresses in the window," delivered in a pretty snarky tone, like we were clueless. It caught us off guard. We clarified that we meant the one with the floral pattern, and she immediately pointed us toward the sale section instead. At that point, I honestly wish we had just walked out. What made it worse was what happened next. While we kept browsing, two other women came upstairs, and the same clerk greeted them warmly and even offered them water. One said yes, and the clerk happily went to get it. The difference in how we were treated was hard to ignore. I've always liked Perlis and the quality of their clothing, so I'll still shop there--but only at the Covington location. I won't be returning to the Uptown store. Management should really address how customers are treated upstairs. Not everyone who can afford to shop there is going to walk in dressed up--some of us are in shorts, flip-flops, or workout clothes. That shouldn't affect the level of service. Pretty disappointing experience overall.
