Stockist Spotlight: DEFEND NEW ORLEANS
By: Rachael Wingate
Defend New Orleans, located in NOLA’s Lower Garden District on Magazine Street, has been dedicated to celebrating and preserving New Orleans’ unique culture since 2003. Spend a day in the Crescent City and you will most likely spot a passerby, or even a celebrity, wearing their popular logo with pride. Proceeds from DNO merchandise sales has aided local nonprofits including: Team Gleason, Gulf Restoration Network, and Roots of Music – so this is a community-driven store that you can feel good shopping in.
DNO carries our Tchoup Flap Packs ($150), Mini Flap Packs ($80), Fanny Packs ($60), Trace Satchels ($55), Ditty Bags ($35), all made from waxed canvas and handmade in New Orleans. We recommend calling DNO ahead of time to check for their current availability.
We especially love DNO because they carry products by lots of local New Orleans makers (besides Tchoup Industries), such as DVRA, Smoke Perfume, Goods That Matter, NOLA Nacular, and El Guapo Bitters.
Swing by Defend New Orleans, a must-visit for any NOLA itinerary, at 1101 First & Magazine (and tell them Tchoup Industries sent you!)
