Tucked away in colorful boutique shops throughout downtown Lake Charles, there is a variety of fashion, custom made art, and interesting finds that are perfect for spoiling yourself or bringing home a souvenir or two! The majority of all the businesses in downtown Lake Charles are locally owned, and people have poured their heart and soul into making the experience memorable and enjoyable.
Right on Broad Street, check out Olive & Indigo for fashion-forward pieces. Started by two friends who share a passion for inspired, handcrafted goods, and both being jewelry makers, they focus on well-designed products using natural materials, handcrafted artisan goods, and companies that give back with a portion of the proceeds donated to Women for Women International, an organization that provides women in conflict zones economic support through life, business and vocational training.
Bayou Blend has specialty products too with everything being sensory-friendly. The tees are made with special inks, premium fabrics, and they are label free. Since the company was founded with autism awareness and acceptance in mind, GiveBackBayouBlend donates a tee to those with special needs for every tee purchased.
