Skills for Giving
At Lafayette’s Caroline & Company, holiday shopping is an art form—one where curated collections, local treasures, and Southern hospitality come wrapped in every box.
Gift giving is an art, but inspiration doesn’t always come easily. There’s the parent who insists they don’t want anything, the friend with uniquely eclectic tastes, the hostess who already has the mostest, or the little one who outgrows each outfit or toy in a flash. At Lafayette’s Caroline & Company, the hunt for perfect presents is serious business—and one of the most fulfilling parts of the giving season. From elegant accessories to distinctive products with Acadiana flair, there’s a gift for everyone on your nice list.
For almost three decades, Caroline & Company has been delivering to shoppers what larger retailers can’t: an unparalleled selection of locally-crafted goods paired with one-on-one customer service—a commitment that has earned repeated recognition as one of the best-loved shops in Lafayette. “The second people walk in, we’re ready to assist them,” says owner Charlotte Cryer. “We want them to leave confident that they’ve found the perfect gift.”
Caroline & Company’s reputation as their city’s premier one-stop shop is rightfully earned. With collections covering 20,000 square feet of display space to explore, visitors can browse children’s clothes, stunning home accents from lamps to tableware, and Louisiana-inspired products that celebrate the culture and charm of The Bayou State. This time of year, shelves overflow with holiday décor perfect for decking your halls in style.
After selecting whimsical trinkets for your Christmas tree, it’s time to find the right gifts to put under it. Shoppers will discover cozy slippers and luxurious scrubs for spa queens, Yeti coolers and cigar glasses for the lads in their lives, and glittering jewelry pieces for special someones. Collections of bracelets, necklaces, and other finery is sourced from renowned jewelry studios including Ronaldo, Julie Vos, and Mignon Faget—the New Orleans-based brand recognized for the artistry and quality of its Creole culture-inspired collections. The store’s bespoke wrapping service reflects both the gift and its recipient, making the presentation as special as the present itself.
This holiday season, shop close to home for the people closest to you. Let Caroline & Company help you and yours have a Louisiana-true Christmas.
