Looks Like Team Spirit

 

Team spirit is everywhere during the fall season. Whether it’s for a high school, club, college or our beloved New Orleans Saints, we’re all rooting for something or someone. You know what team I’m really rooting for right now? Team New Orleans. The city itself and its fantastic people. Consider this post my personal stadium crowd wave by shouting out the names of locally-owned brands to support. I think we can support our local sports teams and entrepreneurial talent at the same time, right? I promise, you will find no shortage of creativity and options.

* Notes the most sustainable options and/or a brand with products manufactured in New Orleans

 

Sparkle City-  LSU graduate Margo Sanders Cory started designing by sewing costumes for movies, debutant parties and Mardi Gras. Her local brand has the look that all the young girls will want to wear. Standouts are the tiger stripe midi skirt and cropped sweater and the Black tiger shoulder dress .  

*Dat Mambo Shirt-  This family-operated brand offers 50% cotton/50% linen blend themed shirts based on the style of the Latin American Guayabara shirt. 

*Fringe  Co. – The founder of this all-inclusive brand, Kelsey Campion, quit her real job and opened a factory in Mid-City to create party wear for all. The pom pom earrings are great for Saints games or just being EXTRA any day of the week.  

*Epiphany Throws – Using only repurposed textiles or biodegradable materials, this brand offers guilt-free accessories like this LSU acai seed necklace 

*Perlis – The go-to, classic brand for a reason. Quality and comfort are paramount in these two styles from their in-house label – the classic team-themed cotton shirt or UPF long sleeve sun shirt.

Queen of Sparkles– For a hyper-colorful, youthful vibe, check out the  Saints sweater and Tiger-themed short set from this NOLA-based clothing designer.  

*Nola Couture-  This brand is female-owned and makes a chunk of their designs in a factory on the Westbank. I’m loving the Green Wave and LSU Tiger ties . And if your pup is rolling with you, this leash is essential.
