Nola Art and Craft Mask Gallery (Hafi Gallery) — Attraction in New Orleans

Afsaneh is all heart, art, and quality, quality, quality, with excellent taste. We passed many shops with masks, none were like Afsaneh’s shop. She oriented us to her shop. Some masks she had made herself. The ones she imported from Italy, China, and other cultures. She also had beautiful Persian antiques and Masks with Persian influence. All feathers were real feathers. Her masks are beautiful works of art to hang or to wear for a festival like Mardis Gras. We enjoyed Afsaneh company very much she knows how to connect with her customers from the heart. We ended up going twice to her shop for masks and dolls. We traveled back home feeling confident we purchased masks we love made with love picked with love from the highest quality. Thank...

But I would still advise caution and shopping around as this shop offers no refunds or exchanges. Where I come from, this is a breach of consumer rights. But this is clearly not the case in...

Yes, must agree that the shop has beautiful hand made masks, very pricey but can be expected given they’re hand made by the owner Hafi, and I believe in supporting local artists. However, the shop also sells retail masks that are not made by the owner, a nice selection of these nicely displayed…but buyer beware. I purchased one of these retail masks for $120 but found them in other shops later on ranging from $44 to $60. Shop around first, because there’s no returns, no exchanges, and no refunds...
