Reviews of Boutique Du Vampyre (Costumes)

Erica Budzinski

This is a great little shop! Everything is hand crafted by local artists and is high quality. I could spend so much money here.

Justin Weatherly

Very nice little shop and very friendly! Bought a book on vampire history and had it signed by author personally!

April Gilliard

This is the place you need to visit when you come to the French Quarter. It is an experience!

The14Th Berserker

Meh...same as any other novelty store, I was thinking this place was going to have vintage antiques etc, but what more does one expect from this type of store, the female working here gave me bad vibes since I stepped foot Through the door, it was almost as if she was mad that people were inside of the building with her, random loud exhales of breath almost as if she was annoyed with the questions and our presence. But hey...it’s NOLA what do you exspect? At least I got to bring home a story and picture.

Rob Brennan

Alonzo, life in wifi

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! The owner was an absolute delight! She gave us great recommendations to visit around town, and nailed every one of them!

Gustavo Martinez

The woman who ran the shop was extremely knowledgeable and it was refreshing to see how much she really loved her shop and what she did. I purchased this cool bag of blood and this special type of candle that Wards off bad Omens and spirits. I would definitely return to New Orleans just to visit the shop again.

Christina Albright

Really nice and talkative ladies, cute stuff especially the candles with charms and leather books

BRIAN Dawson

Cool novelty shop. They Claim to be the only shop that sells vampire items in New Orleans, knowledgeable staff.

Auston Ricks

Great shop the only place in town with good shrunken heads

Per Sigolsen

Nice shop with friendly staff. Has very much special things to offer.

Mich Wizard

My wife, daughter and I spent a nice time learning about places and mysteries, some ghosts stories around the French Quarter. It was a pleasant 2 and a half hours, it went fast. Alexandra, our guide, was well versed in the stories and history of New Orleans. We have visited NO on many occasions in the past, but tours like this one will make you more familiar with the area. There were many other tours going at the same time, their groups consisted of at least 12-15 persons, while we were a total of five. Skipping the online discounts was all worth it. I am looking forward for a food tour in the future. Thank you Alexandra

Zaxley Nash

A nice place to touch base with the local sub-culture.

Sara Kraus

This is a great place to check out in the city. They carry a lot of unique items despite the small space. The girls working there are incredibly helpful and make great recommendations for places to see in the Quarter.

Leo Campero

There were a few original items, but most things were for sale at every other voodoo store for a lot less. I was really hoping to find an awesome vampire artifact, but that didn’t happen. I’d still suggest going, just set your expectations appropriately.

David Conner

Small store with a definite out there vibe.

Wendy Hartline

We stopped in to say hello to the owner. I love her shop. She is also an animal rescuer. I bought a beautiful black and white corset. Very good price. It will be beautiful with my steampunk outfit. If you haven't been to this shop you are missing out. Be sure to check out the casket purses and carpe noctum t shirt. One of a kind shop with a wonderful owner.

notbae04

Place will offer a lot of information on there culture in the beliefs in vampires.

Roanna Jamir

One of my favorite shops in French Quarter. I love the medley of Gothic and vampire inspired items sold here. The store keeper also had such a friendly persona which I found as a pleasant surprise considering this is a goth store. She greets everyone who comes in with a smile and a little introduction about the shop, how everything is made by local artists. A must visit shop when in NOLA.

Skullzy Spikey55

Lovely! Friendly staff & STUNNING pieces!

Eric cogdell

Had to stop at the only Vampire store in the USA. The staff was very informative and helpful. Enjoyed my visit.

Robin Doty

Cool little things. Very commercialized. Like twilight and Vampire diaries. Not the history or as cool as we thought it would be. If you need verbane or any other novelty vampire item they have it.

Laura Abbey

Super friendly staff. Gave us lots of advice and tips on hidden treasures and what to see.

Noël Eve

Small shop with many great finds.

Luke Beer

Went on their excellent Mid Town Vampire tour. Great fun and a good activity thaat takes you to cool local business. Definitely hit up their speak easy if you fail in your quest.

Mitchell Burner

GREAT store. My wife and I met the owner and she helped us pick-out the perfect candle for. Then she suggested little spots around the quarter to visit. We did each one, and they were great spots we would have never known about. This store and the owners are a true NOLA treasure. :)

TinaEck .

Super cool boutique catering to vampires and voodoo. Totally worth it. If I could give them 6 stars I would!

Will Gwin

The staff is friendly, the show room is small but varied. Will likely visit again.

Mercedes Canales

Nestled in the French Quarter, this gem, is what New Orleans is about! This is just the spot we were looking for for reasonably priced, unique items. The Vampire shop keepers are very kind and knowlegable and have a rich knowlege of New Orleans history.. and if you are really kind and super adventureous they just might share a little local secret with you

Tammy Ellis

Fun place to visit. Even got to adopt a vampire.

Normalys Santana

Amazing store. Everything hand crafted. Based on vampires diaries and the originals

Chase Davill

You hear about a lot of places being voodoo like and you hear all the stories about how voodoo is tgis and voodoo is that....and all I gotta say is...You better believe voodoo is REAL!! Anyway this store is full of all type of cool and interesting pieces of all the stuff you heard about! So if you're ever in the area and wanna learn more about what you thought you knew... stop by and aee for yourself! The staff is very kind and informative about all of thee above.

Mike Boaz

A quirky little shop. They sell maps of the French Quarter with all of the haunted and mystical locations marked

Amber Vail

So much neat stuff in there! Its a great store!

angeldad94 .

Awesome store & people. Went on an evening ghost tour, small group of just friends & our guide was amazing!! Loved it!

Destiny Harris

They have a resident fangsmith Mavenlore who makes custom vampire fangs they advertise events true to the theme and have a wide selection of vampire related items very interesting shop

Interesting little place.

Anna Nicole Ureta

(Visited Jan 13/17, Jan 15/17, and Jan 17/17 - Various Times) Visiting the Boutique Du Vampyre was probably one of the highlights of my trip. I'd done a little research prior to actually going. This one of my FAVOURITE SHOPS in the French Quarter. Handcrafted items from Vampires Diaries, The Originals, True Blood, and Twilight, this quaint little shop has something for every vampire enthusiast. Mortals and Vampires Welcome! Marita, was absolutely welcoming, warm, friendly, everything you could want in a shop host/owner. I NEVER FELT PRESSURED to buy anything. She gave my friends and I information about all the products in the store, told us about the Secret Vampire Bar called "Potions", and was very helpful showing us some of the secret and hidden gems of the French Quarter using her own handmade tourist map. I also had my Tarot read - first time, on Friday the 13th, under a Full Moon, and WOW! What an experience. My friends and I were thoroughly impressed by the hospitality of her and other employees. I highly recommend a visit to this shop for a Tarot Reading, Charm Candle, and information on any Vampire/Dark History Tours. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

triatletaMX .

No returns or even partial returns, owner has some clue in running a small business. Just an upset customer.

ISABEL ROSS

I love this place, I cam to this store after getting chewed out by another store for having my camera out. And when I walked in, my camera didn't bother them at all. The store itself is really cool and I bought a hand made ouija board. I will definitely be coming back to buy some more stuff.

Av Duryea

They are so nice here and a lot of their items are only availible there. Don't be afraid to hop in!

Morgann Peters

I would work here in an instant, just so I could chat with the staff all day! Hand made items, local authors to read, secret passwords and more; if this is your thing, fellow Goth and vampire lovers, you've GOT TO GO.

Samantha Mauk

Cool little shop, lots of neat handmade items and vampire accessories.

Kalinda Exum

This was a cute little place. It had all of the stuff you would think to find like fangs and cute things like capes for wine bottles. The vampire candles smelled really good too.

Steve Erchien

One of the most unique shops in NOLA very authentic. Not mass produced it is definitely a gem in the city

Melanie Falina

One of the most unique and friendliest shops in the French Quarter...even all of New Orleans! If you're a fan of vampires, or simply unique art, clothing, and specialty items, you will love Boutique Du Vampyre. Any trip to New Orleans should include a stop here!

Lisa Sampair

Very interesting. Stop by to see the weird things

Ryan Plowman

Definitely a cool little shop! The atmosphere is great and the staff is very friendly.

Steven Nguyen

So lovely of ancient town. I feel very interesting and full inspiration: streets, old walls, old houses, shops...and a lot of the street artists

Vicki Baltzell

Take your time looking around. You may miss something. The girls I met here were so nice.

Michelle Johnson

Very interesting in a exciting way. Be sure to pop in.

Caroline Boris

Feel the bite!! If your looking for authentic vampire and vampire craft, look no further. Marita has one of the few vampire shops in the world! Stop in for a bag of blood or some zombie skin.. or anything else that tickles your fancy!

Roxana Este

Fun, fun, fun. If you go to the French quarter don't miss this boutique. It has all kinds of interesting and mysterious gadgets. It's definitely worth your while

Kevin Lawson

Vampire girl was awesome and very helpful love seeing Eric's crossbow from true blood

Alan Phipps

Interesting place -- The lady at the Boutique du Vampyre said that there was a speakeasy nearby that served absinthe that "was still illegal". Eh, in 2007, *all* absinthe was legalized in the US, and anything "still illegal" would not be considered true absinthe. Also, beware of any bar that lights your absinthe on fire. This is another tourist gimmick that started in the 1990s in Eastern Europe. If you want to learn more about absinthe and absinthe history, check out the Wormwood Society!

David pope

Great place I highly recommend checking this one out and getting your fangs made by the amazing fangsmith

JOAN VARGAS

This was cool

Lauren Ciletti

I love this shop

Leah Nelson

We truly enjoyed the vampire lair filled with an array of memorable, distinct items to observe or collect. The items from "True Blood" are especially moving! Make sure to ask about the secret, hidden vampire lounge that can only be entered with the special password! Very macabre and enticing place!!

Andrea F

Very cute store that is small but geared to all paraphernalia to Vampires, whether attracting them or sending them away. I stumbled on it with some friends and look forward to coming back when in the area again.

aaron aiken

This place is great! The staff is friendly I promise they don't bite. Lol

Chloe Roy

Super fun and authentic. You can't pass this place up on a stroll around the French Quarter.

Hermione Gardener

The young ladies working in this shop were very friendly and pleasant. The shop features locally hand-made crafts that will appeal to anyone who is into anything remotely having to do with vampires. Whimsical and attractive items throughout the store. Reasonably priced. I bought a lovely hand-made bat, made of metal, and they gave me a very nice discount due to a scratch on the item. I love when a merchant is willing to go the extra mile for a client and they did just that! Can't wait to visit again next time I'm in New Orleans, and I highly recommend this to anyone who likes vampires, or just enjoys a good giggle.

Adalyn Hayes

Very fun store

Jennifer Huckleberry

I absolutely loved this eccentric, fascinating boutique! So much to look at! Ask for the speakeasy word and enjoy it! These ladies sell local artist goodies. #Eccentric #fascinating #vampirelove #localartistsupport #bats #cthulhu #stainedglass #books #capes #ornaments #jewelry #fantasy

Cristiepie X3

A couple months ago me and my bf went to New Orleans and we went to their vampire shop. I wanted to get the double set vampire teeth and the owner of the shop said to us that “they’re hand made and this is the only place that sells these. And their shop online.” It was $60.00. Earlier today we went to a Halloween shop in Indiana and we saw the exact same sets of vampire teeth and it was only $18. She lied to us just to get money off of us.

Bryan Haley

Stopped by this amazing shop everyday of our weekend vacation. Very friendly staff and helpful. Will go back anytime I'm in the area

Amanda Selby

Very cool! Just check it out!

Oori Weisshaus

Funny store. Cool stuff if you are into it

Amelia Pushelberg

Super cool shop with a very friendly shop attendant. It’s the only vampire shop in the city and has many trinkets. Def check this place out when you visit. You also get a pass to their secret speakeasy when you leave

laura borquez

Amazing shop with, unique boutique crafts from interesting artists. Great energy, the only thing getting sucked out was the the bank account...They won't bleed you dry...We enjoyed our shopping experience and look forward to an eternity of use from our daughters gift. Thank you for your friendly service.

Melissa M Goodill

Neat idea. Small place. The charm candles are great.

Paula Genzel

Absolute awesome experience

Catey Williamson

Those place was so great! Every thing was authentic and most were hand made. I love the crystal pendulum.

Jeffrey Wonderly

This place was quite the letdown. It's tiny, and l mean like, it's probably smaller than your living room. There's really very little to look at, and most of the overpriced stuff they sell is easily obtainable online for way cheaper. Skip it.

Erin Lee

this is our favorite place in New Orleans!!!

Sarah Palmer

Marita is THE coolest chick ever... I went in last week to get my custom fangs by Maven which are no less than perfect!!! This store is a must if you are strolling around the quarter. It really is a surreal experience!!!!

Meagan Reynolds

Such a cute shop!! Very eclectic and full of very interesting stuff. The shopkeeper April was also great she's fun and definitely knows her stuff!

Dustin Cowell

Fun unique finds! A must visit for vampire enthusiasts!

Ben Everhart

One of the few unique shops in the French Quarter. It doesn't have the same run-of-the-mill stuff that all of the other shops in New Orleans sells. A lot of it appears to be handmade and everything is reasonably priced. Even autographed books were reasonably priced, something I did not find to be true at any other store selling autographed books in New Orleans.

Brandy Weaver

Awe.... it was Ok! Not a lot looked real tho....

Claire Ruliffson

Unique store with interesting products. Fun to look at

Peter33 PAN44

Excellent place to get Vampire stuff and advice Small but great place to really feel at home as a Goth! Totally friendly stuff, open and really open to support. Lot's of " NOT made in China" Vampire stuff and nice books - ( no everywhere books- like Ann Rice). We brough a great book written by the shop owner, and I can really recommend it! Furthermore we got a lot of advice for Goth places e.g to dance. Be a goth and comming to New Orleans, go there to feel like home!!

Slake Counts

What a wonderful little gem of a store. Curiosities of all types abound here. Thanks for the nice intro into New Orleans culture. Loved the bottles to capture Vampires and the cute little Vampire Wine Cape.

Monica Sotto

Small, fascinating boutique specializing in vampire lore and fan culture with a focus on local artisans’ gifts and goods. My only wish is that it expands! Some gifts seem too expensive - $30 for a magnet gave me pause - but I also understand that artisans need to charge for their art and labor. The shopkeeper also tipped us off to a secret vampire bar, which is really cool!

Alli Dowling

Adorable shop with a very friendly staff! Unique, handmade items and the spooky make this place a must for anyone into vampires :) they have a vampire fortune teller machine that will give you a reading for $5!

Vic Vizcaino

The staff is wonderful. Very friendly but not annoying friendly lol. Very knowledgeable of the area so if you're visiting New Orleans you should definitely stop by here.

Catherine Green

Unique shop! Very interesting

Jake Mcgull

Wow what a surprise great store with a ton of unique surprises and almost any magical concoction you might need. Kim was great

Holly Collins

Cool stuff. Very friendly staff.

Laura Olin

A wonderful little shop with a great selection of vampire themed books, goods, clothing, and more! The kind woman working the shop gave us some great insider tips about places to visit and eat here in NOLA. I will be sure to come here again next time I visit.

Visited with my mum from Scotland in September. We both love vampire lore and mythology so we were eager to visit this shop. Despite being on the small side, the shop has plenty to offer and the lady who runs it was really keen to pass on her knowledge and recommendations. We bought various knick knacks including a vial of Vervain, a vampire doll (who watches over you) and a gold doubloon. I also bought a signed copy of The Casquette Girls after hearing from reviews how good it was. It did not disappoint. If I'm ever back in New Orleans I will definitely revisit this shop.

John Gueringer

They have some very sexy familiar's.

Jennifer Davis

Great stuff inside, ask for the special code for the speakeasy.

Meridith Hall

We did the vampire adventure for my birthday. It was so awesome. Marita is so great, she went above and beyond.

Madison Harmon

Went here three days in a row with my friends on a trip to NOLA. The owner was gracious and gave us lots of ideas for things to do around the city. She even gave us a couple goodies for coming back so often, including a hilarious roadkill diary for the drive home. The store has a lot of character and is very unique. Lots of books and interesting things. Definitely not your typical painful souvenir shop. Add it to your list of things to do in New Orleans.

Dabeast3345 .

Very nice staff and wonderful pieces of art in this shop. So many of the goods in this shop are from local people and its such a good place to go for lore. I highly recommend seeing the shop.

Marky Mark

Very neat place to visit in New Orleans. The lady working there was simply an awesome, knowledgeable person. Enjoyed visiting with her.

Dean Rivera

Definitely stop by if visiting NOLA. Especially if you are a vampire.

Song Bird

If you are vampire fan i would highly recommend visiting this place. I am a Vampire Diaries and The Originals fan. The woman in the store told me that the producers come in there a lot to buy the journals they have whenever there is a scene of someone writing in a journal and they support local artists. Very cool place.

matthew shultz

This place is cool, lots of interesting things to buy. People were very nice an helpful.

Henri-Ansel Vallee

One of the fantastic charming shops in the city, defiantly worth a gander and an engaging conversation.

Really wonderful shop and incredibly helpful staff! full of great recommendations. I can't wait to read the book she suggested

Manuel Rodriguez

Best place to buy surviners

Alexandra Haynes

Amazing store and staff

Kate Sgouros

Interesting gift shop for those into vampires and the supernatural. They also offer psychic readings and can be scheduled to make custom-fit vampire fangs in a variety of styles for people seeking high quality costume parts.

Cristina Hernandez

Love this cute boutique of vampirism & oddities! Definitely worth a visit! The ladies running it are inviting, lovely & definitely check out their bar!

Kelly Lozano

Cool store, cool items, cool staff.

Christina Kirsch

Super interesting shop with lots of little handmade gifts. The owner (I'm assuming she was the owner) was very sweet and gave us really great tips about where to go while in New Orleans! She then threw in a free map where she marked off some of her favorite spots. We were so happy we stopped there!

Britney Fuqua

I really wanted to love this store. I had looked at their website and before I even got there decided I needed to have a shrunken head priced around $250. I went there when they first opened and the moment I walked in the door one of the employees told me to be careful and not touch anything because the items they sold were expensive...? From what I saw it was a bunch of cheap, touristy, novelty junk. Okay whatever. I asked to see there shrunken head selection so I could purchase it and promptly leave. I was informed that they didnt have any and had no idea when they would get more in. So why are they advertising that they sell them? The most upsetting part about walking into this closet space of a store was the constant looks of disgust and criticism. I'm not really sure how they sell anything if your not allowed to look at or touch anything. They misjudged the size of my coin purse for sure.

Hannah Hammergren

They always have some secret activity they whisper to you when you buy something and it’s always a 10/10

David Vannasdale

Wonderful! Ask about the Vampire speakeasy!

Karen Abshire

Lots of things to ponder over! Awesome books!! Ladies are super friendly and helpful!

Betty Clayton

Great little shop. Expected it to be a tad bigger but still held quite a bit. Tarot and palm readings on site were worth the money.

Guy Byars

Schtick for days. Lots of weird touristy trap type stuff and local flavor. Definitely worth a visit!

Tracey Walker Dies

Very Friendly and helpful. Loved my visit :)

Scott Stewart

Great place for all things vampyre!
