Miette

Best store for anything. Ever. Really AMAZING owner. Creative and crafty products you will not find in your average shop, bad ass local art, and really fun colorful atmosphere. Best place to buy gifts for anyone, LADIES and MEN. This shop is like New Orleans in a nut shell, unlike any other

This shop is like a wonderland of goodies. It’s the perfect place for gift shopping, I can alway find a gift for everyone here!

I seem incapable of setting foot in here without spending money. Several moneys.
There’s SO much to look at! Stuff everywhere! Organizedly. Tee shirts, stones, voodoo dolls, puppets, legos, masks, lamps, home décor… I could go on. Most everyone on my Xmas list received a gift from Miette.
The staff are all really cool and pleasant. They don’t judge you for spending an hour or two wandering about making selections. I got one of my favorite winter hats (it has ears) and an awesome tee with an out of print book cover and some really cool melted records that are hanging in my living room.
Lots of funky, cool, and unique awesomeness here. And a lot of it is handmade to boot.

There are many cute items in this shop. I will certainly be stopping by with my Christmas shopping list this year. You’ll find everything to gift yourself or your girlfriends at all price ranges. I saw cute and reasonably priced jewelry, magnets, nightlights, dresses, and hand made cards. They even had a visiting artist doing a pop up in their upstairs space. I thought the staff was friendly which made the overall experience enjoyable.
I purchased a ring that has a bear on it and a Simone magnet. The only downside was that the artists were different for each of these items so I had to pay separately for them. That’s okay, but after I paid $ 13 for the ring using my card, I had to pay for the $ 5 magnet with cash OR I would incur a fee for being under the $ 10 minimum. I had cash (that I was saving for Café Du Monde) but I just went ahead and used it. There should be a better way to work these transactions.
I really like the shop though and I will be coming back… its like shopping in a brick and mortar Etsy.

Cute. Girly. Fun. Those three words describe Miette so perfectly. If you like any of those three things, then come on in!
Located on Magazine St is this incredibly adorable boutique that stocks a very wide range of girly items. There’s a bunch of smaller accessories, jewelry, various colored wigs, eccentric purses, and a whole range of cute dresses at the back of the store. Do check out each rack as each rack has its own range of offerings.
Upstairs, there is a wider range of jewelry where they make right in the store which is a nice touch. Feel to free to strike up a conversation with them, they’re super friendly!
Definitely check it out if any of these things strike your fancy. All the staff members here are super friendly and chatty and will be happy to help you out with any questions you may have.

SUPER CUTE STORE! The lady at the counter was basically the nicest person in the whole world and we could’ve probably stayed there for hours. Just talking about crafting. The store was perfection and I wanted to buy everything in it but sadly I couldn’t. Anyone who doesn’t give this store at least 5 stars is wrong
It’s definitely a store you should go to if you’re in the area!

Super cute shop. I scored a shark print dress and a purse in the shape of a chihuahua.
(Can you tell how annoying I am already??)
Some things are a little overpriced but there are gems to be found here.

Hahahaha. *takes breath* hahahahah.
For some reason this place gives me a similar vibe to what one would have from a Spencer’s. Maybe it’s just that «women’s clothing» makes me actually think more like «young women’s clothing», which is what this place tends to be.
There are all sorts of kooky knicknacks and some seriously odd and hilarious books at this store. One was something like «how country living works». It was like a backwater kids book of how a tractor works, followed by… hundreds of blank pages.
Yes, this was the «how to keep a dummy occupied» book, and/​or a blank notebook with random stories interspersed. Either way, I don’t get it.
They also had some completely random crap that I don’t understand, such as 3d paper animal heads that you could expand, and then hang in your room — because clearly young women (or even adult women) want a 3d-​paper rhino head to put in their bedroom, as that screams «I may not have a social life and/​or may be slightly crazy». They do piercings and have some kind of earring deal for checking in here. We found some hilarious baby clothes, as well.
I suggest coming here for the entertainment value, but I don’t think there’s much of actual interest.

Its a great browsing store. Lots of out of the ordinary things to check out. Prices are too high for me. I have purchased a set (4) of glasses made out of drinking bottles that set me back about $ 90 Lots of handmade light fixtures, jewelry, vintage clothing, etc.

This store is just lovely! I was looking around at various local jewelry stores to try and find a gift, but everything in most shops tended to look pretty generic. Not so here! The necklaces and earrings are beautiful and unique, and I found a turquoise and seashell piece I really loved. The prices were also reasonable.
The ambiance of this place deserves its own paragraph, I think? Because walking in I immediately felt happier and more restful! It’s just very well-​designed in layout and color scheme; there are gorgeous handmade lights, and tons of cute little finds tucked away in odd corners.
When I was checking out, the woman at the register said she was glad that this necklace had found a home, as she had made it and some other pieces using parts of one of her grandmother’s necklaces a couple of years ago– this is one of those small but very positive interactions that make a place stand out. I haven’t been using Unilocal much, but wanting to review this place made me start again, because I want other people to go and support it.

In addition to a great selection of artisan jewelry, there’s also tons of cool things made from recycled materials. So often I see places with recycled merchandise but it’s always the same tacky grade school project looking stuff. (How many melted record bowls can one possibly need?) However, they’ve mastered the art of it because they have fantastic chandeliers made from recycled parts, great clothes, and many other things. If you spot a piece of jewelry you love & someone beats you to it, they can sometimes make you something similar! I love this store & it’s become my go-​to spot for gift shopping!

What a fun little shop *and* a phenomenal place to get gifts that verge on the spectacular (affordable at that).
Your first impression will undoubtedly be of all the incredibly unique and handcrafted lighting that decorates the shop (yes, it’s for sale. And at great prices). All kinds of lanterns, chandeliers and lamps that I could picture gracing the home of Betsey Johnson. There’s all kinds of stuff to bling out your home here from wall art to knickknacks. I’m trying desperately to cut down on knickknacks, though, so I tried to not be swayed by constant sightings of things I «definitely needed to own.»
And then there’s the accessories. Seriously, you can lose yourself in them for hours. My favorite necklaces were definitely the ones with metal cut-​out pendants (I have a thing for key holes and keys). The ultimate in statement pieces… we’re talking about almost-​chest plates here! Don’t despair if you’re of the more demure type. There are plenty of other styles, too. I’m talking about what catches my eye here.
Clothing is really cute, too (lots of nifty t-​shirts).
It’s kind of sensory overload and I probably can’t adequately capture it in just one review. I think that’s the intention of the shop owners though and I applaud them for fitting all of the awesome in there like this (and so artfully arranged at that). The fabulous-​phobic need stay away.

As an Etsy enthused person, you know a good funky handmade find when you spot it, and I found a ton of that waiting in Miette.
The store is a great big funky mishmash of super cool quirks of décor, jewelry, clothes, pins & bobbles, accessories a plenty, so much that it makes your head spin. Its take one at least a good solid hour to comb through all the finds and hidden gems. I had to come back twice myself just to take it all in.
There were some über cool Louisiana state necklaces with a heart that I would have loved to have.

I did not know what to expect of Magazine Street when Stef and I embarked on our unplanned retail adventure. Miette, from the window front, was very unassuming. Upon entering the boutique; however, we were instantly enthralled.
The store is a co-​op operated by various independent local artists and designers exhibiting goods ranging from jewelry, clothing, accessories, and home décor. Each nook and cranny of the shop is filled with something pretty spectacular. It has been over a week since Stef and I visited the store and we are still talking about it, back here in Los Angeles!
Everyone in the store was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and willing to photograph our travel companion Tripp the Koala in their amazing retail space.

very cool shop on a trendy little block on magazine street in new orleans. i bought a lovely hand painted butterfly necklace there for a good price.
i believe this is three shops merged into one. interesting what innovative solutions business owners must use to stay afloat. worth a visit!

Miette is a really cool shop located on Magazine Street in the same block as Juan’s and Aiden Gill.
Miette has cool and trendy clothing and accessories. If your cool and trendy, or are just trying to be cool and trendy, this is the place for you. Some of the items I looked at had labels written in Korean. Apparently many of the items come from Korea and are for smaller statured women. I am a giant, and a dude, so none of the clothes are really geared towards me, but they did look cool. There were also some kid’s onesies including my favorite one said Poo Dat.
There is lots of jewelry and other cool items from local artists. Several light fixtures made from old Mardi Gras beads are also for sale.
The owner was really cool and helpful and answered all of my questions. If you’re in the market for some really cool clothing and your a small girl Miette is for you. If your not a girl there is still plenty of cool jewelry and other household items.
