Shop Local
New Orleans has always been a destination for great secondhand and vintage fashion, for both locals and tourists alike. Many people are making the commitment to shop secondhand to minimize the negative effects that the mass-market clothing industry has on the environment, as part of their New Year’s resolutions. For others, shopping vintage is about collecting favorite styles from different decades or finding unique items that stand out in a crowd.

Dirty Funq’s murals have been popping up all around town these past several months. He enjoys collaborating, more than needing to be front and center, so if you see some graffiti writing that says “Love” or a piece by Mr. Balloon Hands, keep your eyes open: there’s likely artwork by Dirty Funq nearby. The person Dirty Funq enjoys collabing with the most, luckily, is the person he enjoys being around the most, the extraordinarily talented tattoo artist, Danika Brooke, a.k.a. feliine.
It’s like if your cool uncle had a garage stocked with fun things you never knew you needed until you saw them. Local art, vintage furniture, and imported goods fill the space from wall to wall.

NOLA Bark Market is an unusual local business that serves multiple needs in the heart of Downtown New Orleans. Part art supply store, part pet supply store, part doggy day care and place to take art lessons, this shop recognized that many residents of the Bywater and Marigny areas are both artists and pet owners.
