The owner will steal your identity. Several locals after the fact told me I should not have shopped there. I am in dispute now with unauthorized charges to my CC. With so many other boutiques to choose from in the FQ, this is one to avoid.

Given that you've only posted twice on Tripadvisor, you may find some people skeptical of your warning. Can you give us some more details of what happened?

i don't know about identity stealing-but she was certainely rude when we were in there! Followed us around like we were going to sweep the entire place into our trousers and walk out.

It's on Chartres St, about two blocks from Jackson Square.

And if visitors skip this boutique, they won't be missing out on much!

Thank you for the heads up. I certainly don't want to spend my hard earned vacation money in a place that does not appreciate it or is not honest. I'm sure there will be plenty of other places to spend. :)

I work across the street from this boutique and have never heard anything negative about it before.

honestly,

i'd never want to be slanderous with my commenting, but I really did not like the vibe. Nor did I like feeling like the shopkeeper was following my friend and I around like thieves. I myself work in customer service and the person working whilst I was browsing lacked it.
