Flirty Girl Wants To Make You Smile

One of the most beloved brands in New Orleans, Flirty Girl, was launched in 2009 by single mother and New Orleans native, Lauren LeBlanc Haydel, initially as an online business. Today she has 8 retail stores and 60 employees. The brand was voted Best of New Orleans by Gambit magazine for 11 years in a row.


Flirty Girl's aim is to make you smile while celebrating the city of New Orleans with shirts, skorts, scarves, jackets, shoes, kitchen and bar glasses, hair accessories, food and spices, soap, together with holiday-and-novelty gifts.

The retailer has become a must-stop for tourists but if you can't make it to New Orleans you can still send some "local love + fun finds" by ordering online, the place where it all began. Perhaps someone on your holiday list could use a smile or has fond memories of the Big Easy.

  1. What a fun store. Love the first picture, a reminder of beautiful New Orleans with its pretty iron balconies. We went there in 1999, and enjoyed it so much. That alligator is darling: my grandchildren would love it!

    1. Everybody seems to have a great time visiting New Orleans. I'd love to do a food tour, a house tour and a graveyard tour, though due to crime, one should never tour New Orleans graveyards without an in-the-know local guide. With all the tourism, there shouldn't be such a divide between rich and poor, and the city should be able to fund a properly paid police department with good management. I love the people and the spirit of this great city and hope to spend some tourist dollars submerged in its amazing food and culture in the future!⚜️
