Why Shop Pirate Gifts in New Orleans?

New Orleans is a city built on stories, legends, and larger-than-life characters. Pirates roamed these streets long before Bourbon Street became a party destination. Today, the spirit of Jean and Pierre Lafitte still lives on in our tours, our storytelling, and our shop.
