If you’ve ever shopped on our website and thought, “Why isn’t there as much inventory here as in the store?”—you’re not alone! It’s a question we get all the time, and we’re here to share a bit about why we focus on a carefully curated online collection. At the heart of it, it all comes down to bringing you the best shopping experience we can, whether you’re browsing from out of state or stopping by our brick-and-mortar location. Here’s why you’ll see a difference in our online vs. in-store inventory and why we’re so excited for what’s ahead!
Limited Size Runs Keep Us Local-Focused
Our store is full of unique pieces and boutique brands that sometimes come in limited size runs. This means we may only receive one of each size for a given item, so when something sells out, it’s often gone for good. Because of these small size runs, many of our in-store items sell quickly. Adding every single one to our website would mean lots of back-and-forth updates, and we’d risk having items listed online that we can’t keep up with in real-time. So, for now, we focus on a selection of styles that are restocked more frequently and available in multiple sizes to give you the most reliable online experience.
Our Online Selection: Items Unique to Louisiana and Highly Requested Styles
We’re also mindful about what goes on our website by choosing items that we know our non-local customers are looking for—pieces they can’t find outside of Louisiana. Our online collection often includes our most popular, high-demand items as well as regional pieces that capture the heart of Louisiana style. Whether it’s Mardi Gras attire, kids’ boutique clothing, or seasonal favorites that showcase our local flair, we’re always thinking of what our out-of-state customers will love and be proud to wear.
Why Items Sell Faster Than We Can Upload Them
If you’ve visited our store, you know our selection is constantly changing as new items come in and favorites fly off the shelves. Keeping up with our fast-moving inventory is part of the fun, and our team works hard to upload new styles to the website as soon as they’re available. However, there are times when items sell out almost immediately in-store, which means they don’t make it to the website at all. This is especially true during busy seasons or when we have exclusive items that our local customers love to snag.
What’s Next: Expanding Online Inventory in 2025
We absolutely love our online customers, and we know you’d love to see even more items available to browse from anywhere! That’s why we’re planning some exciting updates in 2025, which include increasing the amount of inventory on our website. Our goal is to streamline our processes so that more of our beloved pieces are available online. You’ll be able to shop a larger selection of our unique finds, and we can’t wait to bring more of our store to you, wherever you are!
In the meantime, we appreciate every one of our online shoppers and are always here to help you find something special. Thank you for supporting us, shopping small, and being part of our community. We can’t wait to continue growing and sharing even more of what makes our store unique!
