About Us

I know lots of people ask, "Why did you open an e-commerce store when there are so many of them?".  Well, my honest answer is to support my family.  I had resigned right before the virus hit and have not been able to find a job because every company out there pushed pause on new hires.  So, my husband supported me in taking a chance to launch this business and follow my dream of being an entrepreneur.  

Now the second question is why choose New Orleans as your niche?  Well, I absolutely love New Orleans (and I am a transplant!) and I have always felt that the choice of t-shirts could be better (especially V-necks; I love V-necks!).  So, I focused on all things New Orleans and Louisiana for my store. My husband and kids have been a big part of coming up with ideas for graphics.  I even placed one of my daughter's paintings of a pelican on a shirt and she will be creating more designs for me in the future.  So, you could say that it has been a family effort!  

I have enjoyed spending lots of time working with graphic artists and designing t-shirts and accessories that are unique.  Although, I have stepped into a world that is completely new to me, I am the happiest I have been in a long time.  Every day I learn something new.  I hope that you can find something you like or would like to share with a friend.  I am always open to new ideas if you want to share them.  So, please feel free to email me! 

Cheers!
