Did you know that in the early 19th century, Mardi Gras was more intimate than the spectacle we know today and throws were often sweet little handmade gifts? Rooted in French and Spanish Carnival traditions, celebrations emphasized ritual, connection and shared indulgence in the days leading up to Lent.
We love Mardi Gras luncheons! So, we've curated a luncheon look for this year with pieces scouted from some of our favorite women-owned New Orleans boutiques.
We'll create any excuse to talk about and eat cake. But — spoiler alert — we are behind the scenes curating our forthcoming Celebrate Mardi Gras Collection!
Good things come in small packages. If you're still on the hunt for gifts that don’t just look beautiful but feel meaningful, consider this your curated shortlist from women-owned brands we love.
