This is on St. Charles very close to the Westbank Expressway (or is that the interstate?). The owner said he's the ONLY fabric shop in New Orleans because Hancock's and Joann's are officially in Metairie.
This is Mardi Gras dress headquarters - too bad I already had fabric. (Plus I don't think I could afford most of this stuff.)
He has fabrics by Ana Sui (is that somebody I should know?), Dolce & Gabbana, and a bunch of other big name designers I can't remember.
I was mainly interested in knits, and he only had a few, but look how cool! I have a RTW dress out of that purple geometric fabric that's too tight - should've bought some more.
This is what my husband let me get away with - not too crazy, you know, just gray dots on black. (He never liked that purple dress.)
Now it's off to the Pinewood Cluster, uh, I mean the Pinewood Derby, THEN maybe I'll get some pants going with Robbie's fabric (if I don't have a raging headache)! And I've got a Mardi Gras dress to make still...it never ends.

I love it! What a fun find in New Orleans - I'll have to remember that if I got to New Orleans! Great find, btw!!
Sounds like you all had a great time. Nice fabric store find :)
That store looks like total fun! The designer fabrics are such fun to look at and touch, but there are few I can justify spending so much on per yard. Then I end up touching all of the fabric and buying one length. I must be very infuriating for store owners.
You are learning the "stash" concept!!! I think you probably have some gray fabric that will go with that knit ;)
I love to go into stores and just pet the fabric.
