This store is one of my favorites in New Orleans, for myself, as well as any incredible last minute gifts! I should have written a review years ago, but now I'm glad I hadn't yet done so. When I stopped in today to grab some gifts for my Dad's 70th, Ashley was running the store. I've had an absolutely awful 3 weeks, in and out of the hospital, and she showed me immense kindness and warmth. It was exactly what I needed. If ownership sees this, please make sure she knows y'all appreciate her. She's an incredible representative of your amazing establishment. So grateful for y'all!
So many cool things in this shop. The children’s books and plushies were local themed and cute. Bitter Southerner magazines and books. In love ❤️

Let me tell y’all about Dirty Coast, this badass little t-shirt outfit down in New Orleans. They kicked things off back in 2004 with a simple mission: make local gear that didn’t scream, “I got this at the airport gift shop.” You know, no jazz-playing crawfish or whatever. Just cool, authentic stuff that actually gets what NOLA’s all about. Then Katrina hit, and it wasn’t just about selling shirts anymore. Dirty Coast became a whole damn vibe—a way for folks to say, “Yeah, this is my city, and we’re still here.” Fast forward almost 20 years, and they’ve got 400+ designs that nail the weird, wild, and wonderful spirit of New Orleans. Wanna flex that you know what a neutral ground is? They’ve got you. Dirty Coast ain’t just slingin’ shirts; they’re bottling up the magic of NOLA so you can take it wherever you go.
If you ever find yourself in this hood, you should pull up and visit this store; they got the best selection of gifts in NOLA.

Authentic NOLA style, one witty design at a time.
