On a recent visit to KREWE in the French Quarter, I headed upstairs, tried the frosé, and found myself admiring the room as much as the frames.
The second-floor sitting room brings together sage walls, a curved cream sofa, orange chairs, a checkerboard rug, and tall gilt mirrors. Beyond the French doors, Royal Street adds its own color: shuttered windows, iron balconies, and the street unfolding below.
With frosé in hand, I stepped out onto the balcony. It made the visit feel like a small occasion—a little fashion, a little architecture, and a different view of the Quarter.
Back inside, the frames deserve a closer look, too. The people working there were amazing. Together, the team, the frames, and the setting made this such a beautifully fashionable stop.
Local tip: Bring your KREWEs along and ask the team for a clean and a fit adjustment if the arms are sitting unevenly. KREWE offers complimentary frame adjustments.
