This design is inspired by the New Orleans tradition of lagniappe — a small, thoughtful extra given simply because it’s kind to do so.
Featuring a hand-drawn heart wrapped in classic Mardi Gras beads, this tee celebrates generosity, joy, and the spirit of New Orleans in a way that’s subtle, emotional, and timeless.
Printed on a Comfort Colors 1717 heavyweight tee, this shirt has a garment-dyed finish and relaxed unisex fit that feels broken-in from the first wear. It’s designed for Mardi Gras season, but made to be worn far beyond the parade route.
This is not fast fashion.
It’s a keepsake.
