REDOUX HOME & MARKET

When visiting Redoux Home & Market for the first time, shoppers will be amazed at the variety of old, new, and upcycled merchandise. Redoux isn’t just a store—it’s a marketplace filled with the goods and services of over 70 talented local dealers, designers and artists. Owner Brittany Taylor relishes the opportunity to empower other women to own their own small business. She says, “We want to make it easy for these incredibly creative entrepreneurs to showcase their talent. Our partnership gives them the time to focus on their passions while we tend to the day-to-day details of managing the business.” Regardless of what you’re shopping for, there’s an excellent chance you find that, and more, among the huge selection of goods provided by the various vendors.

Since she opened in August 2019, Taylor has been very selective about merchants and is committed to showcasing only the highest quality sellers. For this reason, there’s a waitlist of vendors hoping to be a part of this creative group. “Though we offer a very diverse range of goods for sale, we actually present a very cohesive and upscale atmosphere for our shoppers.” Customers can wind their way through Redoux Home & Market and find jewelry, clothing, baby gifts and clothes, collectables, antiques, garden items, candles, floral designs, upscale lighting, luxury linens, architectural pieces, kitchenware, hardware, pottery and porcelain, rugs, décor and furnishings, just to name a few. There are even classes available for those interested in learning to paint furniture with the Fusion line of mineral paints and brushes. Home to several area designers such as Shelly Marchetta of Luche, Kim Higgins of Nola Living and Lesle Veca of Lesle Veca designs, shoppers will find a wide array of aesthetics; the furnishings styles range from contemporary to farmhouse to French country and beyond. The unique business model of the Redoux Market makes many varied design perspectives available. “Our customers can decide what best suits their home and lifestyle,” says Taylor.

With so many talented and creative participants in the Market, the environment is constantly being refreshed. Individual vendors are always bringing in new lines and offering new items. Customers like the fact that even when you visit Redoux Home Market regularly, there is always something new to see.

Taylor, along with many of the vendors, attends market on a regular basis. “We feel it’s important to keep up with the latest trends and styles. Going to market helps us stay fresh and current,” she explains. And though the home décor and furnishings vendors do a brisk business, the clothing and jewelry vendors certainly keep pace with them. Christy Hastings with Verse Six Eight, Angel Haney with Belle Vie Boutique and Gifts, Amber Beverung with Blush and Gina Himpler with Tia’s are just a few who offer clothing and jewelry. “Several of the clothing and jewelry vendors have a very loyal following; they keep up with the latest trends and carry nice lines. Their customers like knowing they can always find what they’re looking for,” says Taylor.

Redoux Home Market has also garnered a reputation for showcasing the work of some of the most talented artists from New Orleans and the Northshore. The art takes many forms but features sculpture and paintings, jewelry designs and architectural forms. The talented and creative vendors bring a wide variety of handcrafted art pieces to the aisles of Redoux. Collectors appreciate being able to consider the work of several local artists and select unusual, vibrant, interesting and unique pieces for their homes.

Though Taylor is happy to take a backseat to her vendors, she does operate a space in Redoux Home & Market of her own. In it she features furniture, home and seasonal décor and gifts such as candles and hand towels. “I always carry items that make perfect hostess gifts.” Not a surprising focus for the hostess of Redoux!

The atmosphere of the Redoux Home & Market is friendly and collaborative. Stopping in for a “happy” to take to lunch for a girlfriend’s birthday can be as much fun as finding an extra-special baby gift for your neighbor’s new blessing. Shoppers can find everything from a new sofa to a new outfit. They can add accessories like a lamp for the side table or a pair of earrings to the ensemble for a weekend party. As one customer commented, “You can dress up your home and yourself all in one store.”

Redoux Home & Market is located at 2983 U.S. Hwy. 190 in Mandeville, 674.8811. redouxhomemarket.com.
