Throws Reimagined as Art

We craft throws with the intention of art. Each one is made with care and filled with meaning.

Using sustainable materials, our artists create collectible works that honor New Orleans traditions while imagining its future. These are stories you can hold in your hand.

Why sustainability matters
Mardi Gras is magic, but the mess it leaves behind is massive. Mountains of beads. Tons of plastic. Streets clogged with stuff no one asked for. We believe in a future where parades don’t trash the city they celebrate.
