Italy Direct Clothing — Local services in New Orleans

I can’t express how much I love this store. The most gorgeous unique selection of dresses you won’t find anywhere else. Stunning shoes that make you feel like you’re in a beautiful bygone era. And wonderful, old-world customer service you only see in movies nowadays. As in, the sales clerk knows exactly what kind of dresses you’ll like, and what size will fit you, and she ends up bringing stuff to your dressing room that’s better than anything you picked out. The dress I loved had a button hole issue, and the store owner instantly and graciously called his tailor and told them I was coming (and so the tailor treated me like a VIP), and offered me a generous discount, and told me to bring the dress back if I wasn’t happy with the result. Simply amazing customer service from a person who takes real pride and joy in their work. Oh, and my husband also bought some gorgeous shirts here which are cooler than any other shirts he owns. If we lived here, we would never shop anywhere else...

Italy Direct Clothing on Royal Street is a hidden gem in the French Quarter! After being turned away from a music event for wearing gym shorts and a tank top, I desperately needed a quick, affordable outfit change. A hasty Google maps search led me to this vintage Italian boutique, and thank goodness they were open at 9:30 PM during the busy Super Bowl weekend! Brandon, the salesperson, was an absolute lifesaver—he helped me pick out stylish dress pants and a shirt within my budget, even hemmed the pants on the spot, and threw in some cologne samples to complete the look. His attention to detail and genuine care saved my night. The store’s location is perfect, the selection is impeccable, and the service is unmatched. I’ll definitely be back!...

Confirm the prices before you pay. We went in last night looking for dress shirts for my boyfriend, I saw a sale rack that said “no matter the price on the tag these are $39”. I picked a dress, my boyfriend didn’t love the silhouette, so the attendant helped me find other dresses. I didn’t like any of them as much as the first one so I decided to get it. I told my boyfriend I’ll pay for it but he bought it with his shirts. We were charged $200 for what I thought was a $39 dress. It’s a lovely dress, but nothing amazing that I would pay $200 or even $100. He’s very happy with his dress...
