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!

Incredibly well curated, high quality vintage with first-class service! I don't usually venture to…read morethe FQ, but had to feed my vintage clothing obsession, knowing that this shop is associated with New Orleans' beloved Trashy Diva brand. This place was an absolute treasure trove of beautiful clothing and accessories. Y'all, this is not your average "Talbot's from the 90's" stock that many "vintage" stores contain (and yes I understand that 90's qualifies as vintage these days!) This is the place to go for a show-stopping special occasion dress from the 1940s, with intact jeweled buttons and a peplum detail at the waist. Or a flowing silk robe from the 1920s with a bold print of fans and florals. Or a beautifully carved sweater clip to accompany the fur-collared cashmere from 1950s. You get the picture! Now, this shop will have a higher price point than your average dig-through-the-rack vintage, because literally every piece is a gem. That said, the pricing is incredibly fair for what you are purchasing! I will treasure the pieces I bought from my visit last weekend, and can't wait to return! I also want to add that the shop employee Kim was just top notch! She was knowledgeable of each item and a joy to talk to. This place is a MUST VISIT for any vintage lover!!

Love this little boutique. Really cute selection of clothes!! The location itself is even adorable!…read moreThere is a bit of all styles available, and all sizes. The Sales Person there was BEYOND sweet! And oh SO helpful!! It was literally a joy walking around the store! How many places can you go shopping and feel happier just by being there and talking with a total stranger!? It was a bright spot in a long, difficult day of looking for a dress. I didn't find the dress, but I left with the cutest shirt ever. And it was on sale!! Win - Win!! I'll certainly return and I'd highly recommend this little gem!

I absolutely LOVED this smaller, to the point boutique! The clothes range from a few key trendier…read moreitems to classics....and everything is always under $100! Each piece is limited to very few so you know not everyone will be running around in the same outfit you have! I fell for quite a few pieces including some summery maxis, peasant tops and long cardis with interesting hemlines. I wound up purchasing a classic navy and white stripped off the shoulder pantsuits ($69), the EXACT style I have been on the hunt for unsuccessfully until hitting up Armoire, and an adorable marble clutch with brush gold clasp ($38) large enough to hold my massive phone which I had yet to find anywhere after YEARS of looking!! I was also able to use 10% off with my Yelp check in! Thrilled!! A friend I was shopping with snagged a gorgeous beaded evening gown to wear to our friend's wedding for just $65 right off the sale rack! Unreal! No doubt will I be hitting up Armoire when I'm in town again! Soooo worth the journey down to Magazine Street. Take the street car!! Sales staff was incredibly helpful and kind! Store was well stocked and well merchandised by style too. Their buyer/owner should be commended for the collection they have going on here! Accessories and select home decor items were wonderful also! What a fab find! *Follow them on Instagram and shop their racks online!

Dammit! Why didn't I…read morebuy those super cute orange platform shoes while I was there and I had a chance!?! Now that I am approximately 2, 553 miles away, back in Portland, Oregon, it is no longer convenient. Ah, to hell with convenient, it is not event possible. I even created an on-line account so I could shop the on-line store. I didn't even find shoes. NO SHOES!?! What is the world coming to? So eff that. I'm not even going to look at your stupid online business if you don't have shoes. The shoes you have in your brick and mortar stores are super cute. Can you tell how distraught I am? I'll have a cup of tea, do some yoga, maybe some breathing exercises, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Meanwhile, I'm still pining for those lovely orange platforms. I will always love you orange platform shoes that got away.

Definitely different from the hundreds of other stores selling touristy dresses. A bunch of us…read moregirls came in after seeing a "dollar sale" sign, yet the lady said it only applies after buying two items. Eh. Cute stuff, yet pretty pricey. You gotta venture off elsewhere if you want clothes for a good bargain.

They carry a bunch of local artists/crafters and have a great selection of souveniers/NOLA themed gifts. The folks who work in the shop are always friendly and helpful. I was here a couple of months ago to pick up MG themed signs so my Mom could have a virtual parade in her front yard for Yardi Gras. I had ordered online so pickup was easy. Staff was wearing masks; customers were required to wear masks too. Hand sanitizer was available. Great experience all the way around.

The business owner, presumably, was stationed at the front of the store. The gentleman proceeded to stare us down for the entire time we shopped in the store, so much so that both my partner and I were made to feel quite unwelcome. I thanked him before we left and he just continued to stare. We did not appreciate it.

I'm not sure how to feel about this place. On one hand, the clothing is gorgeous. On the other…read morehand, I felt less than welcome when I shopped here. I was in here looking around and hoping to find some new clothes for my New Year wardrobe. I was dressed down, having spent the entire day running errands and finishing Christmas shopping. Upon walking in, the woman working kind of looked me over and didn't say "hi" or anything. However, I did notice that she greeted other customers. I didn't think much of it and I just looked around as I normally do, but I did find it kind of weird. The clothing here is lovely and they have a wide selection of things from casual to dressy. I saw a lovely red dress that I am actually considering purchasing just so I have it for any fancy event that might come up. The clothes are a little pricier, but I can tell that they're worth it because the quality is outstanding. Because they're located in old Metairie, I would recommend dressing up a little when shopping here. Otherwise, you're on your own as far as help is concerned.

Clothes were as described but not sure if they were new or worn. They were smelling- YUK!!!…read more VERY strong!!- Gosh- what was that? both with some spray or somebody's wearing them ?? Will not buy from this business again. Their customer service did not reply to my email. Heard they give store credit. OMG. What do I do with it? Clothes are out in the Sun. Perhaps will donate them out. Their shipment was fast- and prompt.
