Kulture Vulture

This place absolutely sucks. My husband and I gave this place two chances and both times the sales associates (or lack there of) where totally rude and did not accommodate what so ever. The worst store possible when it comes to a selection and you can’t be in there for more than 10 minutes without feeling like you are intruding. Last time we ever go here and will not recommend this crap store to anyone. Good luck Kulture Vulture because y’all most certainly need it. Learn some customer service!!!

After being underwhelmed by the shirt selection at Road Kill, one of the staff members sent me here. Easily one of the biggest collections of band/​music tees I’ve found anywhere! Considering it’s in the French Quarter, the prices aren’t too out there ($ 25 on avg.). The shirts are sectioned out by genre, so if your thing is say glam rock and you want a T. Rex or Mott The Hoople shirt, they’ll have it AND usually in 3 – 6 different styles. David Bowie, NIN, Joy Division, Iggy Pop, Joan Jett — so much to choose from here! The store is more on the nostalgia end of things, so you’re probably not going to find a ton of newer rock and indie names. But if you like 70s to 90s punk, new wave, metal, britpop & goth, this is definitely the place for you (and me)!

I stumbled upon this shop on my 2^nd day during my first trip to NOLA.
It lured me in with its sea of black clothes with great music playing.
Everything is perfectly organized (by genre!) even though it is wall to wall! I could have spent all day and all my money in there. well, hell, I did go back a second time for more loot.
The guy running the place is cool and he knows his stuff! And when I contacted him about slightly defective bracelet, he remedied the situation ASAP!
I’ll be back swimming in that black sea soon enough!

This store has a nice selection of band shirts and other clothing. It is neatly organized, visually appealing and well stocked.
That said, the gentleman working there is incredibly rude. We’d taken our time walking around the (empty aside from the two of us) store, and wandered toward the front to continue looking through shirts. The guy behind the counter starts complaining loudly about how we had spent 20 minutes in his store but had not purchased anything. In reality, it was closer to 10 minutes — but that’s not the point. There were actually a few shirts I was going to buy but wanted to continue looking before I chose, as I really liked most of the items there. Instead, I was just uncomfortable with his verbal berating and decided to leave.
Certainly won’t be returning, not the atmosphere I want to shop in.

Ton and tons of band shirts. They are coming out of everywhere, but they are super organized. I have never seen shirts organized by genera and then band name. The sales guy was helpful and nice. My only complaint was that there is hardly any space to walk in certain areas of the store. I would not say they are wheel chair friendly. I only think of that cause I have friends that would like this store but there is no way they could get their wheel chair in. It’s totally worth the visit.

I’ve been a customer going on six years now and this store has continued to amaze me with their awesome merchandise. This store is the best place to shop in the French Quarter. From vintage T-​shirts, shower curtains, pillows, purses, jackets, and vest Kulture Vulture has all you need from head to socks. Great for buying gifts for that special music lover in your life! The dresses are absolutely FAB! They even have koozies. The longer you look the more hidden gems you find! The set up and product placement is perfect! The owner of this store is very knowledgeable about all of his merch. I consider myself to be a life long customer. Prices are very reasonable. If you’ve never been, do yourself a favor.

I absolutely love this store! I visited it for the first time today and wow– their selection is extensive and the prices are quite reasonable. I would suggest anyone looking for a good alternative clothing shop while in New Orleans to check it out!

been back several times since my last review, this place is awesome !

I’ve walked past this shop for years before stopping in to check it out. Let me just say if you are a music fan, this is the place to check out!
Real good selection of stuff to check out. I was able to find a few shirts that I never expected to find. The longer I looked around, the more cool stuff I found it seems.
I made some small talk with the owner over shirts that I picked out and found the guy to be very knowledgable about the music world, which is a BIG help when trying to find things.
I kinda stay away from other shops like this because I don’t want to deal with your standard hipster clone, but this was far from that kinda shop! All in all, I will continue to frequent this store. To much cool stuff that I want to get!
Oh yeah, Big plus is there always seems to be great music playing when I go in!

*Poser…cough cough…*
This place is a French quarter older school version of Hot Topic. If anyone tried to tells you other wise, well they are just… well lets leave it at that.
There is a shirt that is a take on the subway logo that says «Zombies, Eat Brains” — hilarious…
There is a myriad of cool band shirts, pins, patches and such. In addition they have the usual hipster goth stuff to keep you stocked in studded belts and leather bracelets with snaps and studs. You know the kind of stuff that illustrates just how ‘deep and emotional’ you really are.
Now look im a child of the 80’s and 90’s so I know these bands, grew up listening to them, and I have their music in my Ipod, so I know about the anger and angst of the spolied self indulgent generation that propelled these bands to stardom. So one star for not leaving the big boys of rock out in the cold.
I probably wouldnt be so tough on them, but the guy in there was the biggest jerk. He was so rude. Apprently my white tennis shoes were an affront to Emo mankind. I guess I must look like I’ve never truly had problems or something. He tries really hard for his look though.
The prices are a bit much.

My friend suggested that I check out this punk/​goth/​New Wave-​inspired shop in NOLA, and I’m glad I did. Lots of cool band shirts, dresses, and accessories. I bought an adorable little glow-​in-​the-​dark bat keychain.
I could spend hours in this place. It’s a bit overpriced, but still awesome.

We had been on a mission to find this place as all of my friends had dubbed it «The Black T-​Shirt Shop». Very tiny space with lots of awesome band T-​shirts and vintage apparel. We spent maybe an hour in here just looking around and finding stuff inside. Very happy we found this place!

This place is a super cool throwback to ‘headshops’ of yesterdays. You want 70’s Glamrock t-​shirts? Done! Industrial/​Goth gear? They have it and in all sizes! Vintage concert tees? A whole rack dedicated to just that! They also have jeans, buttons, belt buckles etc. One cool side note; ALL of the rock musicians that plays NOLA, stop/​shop here. You never know who you’ll see in here! If it’s cool enough for them it should be cool enough for Brooklyn hipsters and San Diego whiners.

Is there a negative star on here?!! To me the etiquette of the man working here is a sexist a$$ hole!!! First of all when I politely ask you «excuse me, Do you have these flair jeans in a woman’s cut?» And he responds «I don’t care what you say But those Jeans are for Men only and Women only wear skirts»… WHAT!!! What era is this idiot living in? Especially working in a punk clothing store. I just made believe I didn’t hear his comment and continued shopping. I went to the back and found a cool t shirt I wanted to buy, and even before I opened my mouth he looked right at me and said «NOPE, we don’t have any other type of cut and that’s all we have for women here, unfortunately everything in this store is for men». After his rant, I left the store. This person obviously does not need my business or any woman’s business. After being treated like this, I will tell all of my friends that love to travel and spend money never to enter this store! EVERYONE BE WARE!!!

I was around the corner being a tourist at Central Grocery. I stumbled across this place and ended up spending a long time in here. There is a lot of cool and unique stuff in here. Not only are there shirts of a lot of cool bands, there are some really cool and unique shirts of your favorite bands in here. I got myself a Joy Division and Clash shirt, but the highlight has to be the Glenn Danzig beer coozy that I got my friend. That is absolutely amazing. This place isn’t cheap, but your money buys you some awesome stuff and supports a very cool business.

I love this place for a lot of reasons. I wandered in about 5 years ago, and have been coming in ever since. There is at least an hour worth of stuff to look at and try on. It’s also a locally owned/​operated business, which is very important to me.
Men: Belt buckles, vintage rock shirts, new music-​oriented shirts, jewelery, band pins, accessories.
Women: fantastic dresses in many fun styles, hair accessories, purses, scarves, music tank tops/​shirts, lucky 13 gear, and some really badass shirts from independent designers.
I like the sign on the door noting that their hours. Classic New Orleans.
Be careful in here, it’s so full of awesome that you might be inside for awhile trying stuff on.

This is an absolutely adorable store. They have great NOLA shirts, and some super adorable baby clothes with character. I got my niece a onesie that said «i get my looks from daddy» with Frankenstein for Halloween. totally adorable.
Unfortunately, their return policy is none. They only allow exchange with tag on within the 2 weeks for the same item. So pretty much, you can only get a new size in what you got.
* Please note that this store is different from the one next door which is «Kulture Vulture»

Walking by figured we would stop in and see what this place was all about.
Walked out with Joy Division and Cure t-​shirts.
Do I really need to go into further detail?

Nice selection of belt buckles, lucky 13 shirts, rock shirts…

This place has an AWESOME selection of band t-​shirts/​hoodies, and the fact that they have baby clothing makes me happy. If I ever have kids, I’ll make sure to hit this place up. The people who work there are always helpful, and the prices are decent. Plus, any place that sells boyshorts underwear that states «Kiss my Uzi» is okay in my book.
