Mignon Faget Ltd

Came here with my fiancé to pick up an item that had been purchased as a gift for us. Waited by the register for a solid five minutes in full view of all three sales clerks without being helped or even so much as acknowledged. Finally managed to catch the eye of a sales clerk as she trailed a shopper who was literally wandering aimlessly from one display to the next.
Me, politely: «Umm, excuse me?»
Her: Wordless, without smiling, holds up her finger in a silent «hold on one moment» motion.
We stand there like fools for a few more minutes. I am boiling angry. Finally, the shopper leaves (she wasn’t even being «helped» by this sales clerk, the clerk was simply tagging along behind her. the shopper left without saying a word to the clerk.)
Clerk walks up to us. «Yes?» We explain we’re picking something up, and give our name. She disappears into the back, come out 5 seconds later saying theres nothing there. Ummmm can you check again? Because it’s definitely there. Lo and behold, she finds it. Places it on the counter with a tight smile. I ask, «Are we all set?» She says, «yes.» We exit.
Fin.
High end snobbery at it’s finest. Love the history and story behind Mignon Faget. The jewelry isn’t really my speed, but it’s well made and attractive enough. But I can do without the judging and the attitude. I left feeling really lousy, when before I had been excited to stop in and pick up this gift. Totally unecessary and unwarranted rudeness. I will not be back.

Mignon Faget jewelry has been around since the 70s & this location has been in existence for about a decade. My service here has varied depending on the associate. Popped in for the first time in a year or so with visiting family yesterday, the associated was solicitous but left us alone to browse.
This location also features art, books, housewares and accessories from MF and other local designers/​artists so that’s cool. Loved the oyster plates!
Prices are bit high for sterling, but folks (including myself on occasion) are willing to pay it.
There is a tiny 2 car lot on the side street (off magazine) behind the store if parallel parking on Mag seems to terrifying.

Kathy here is the best for customer service. I buy pieces whenever I’m in NOLA from Kathy. Great unique & love the service & quality. it is a bit pricey so I will pair with Express, Ralph Lauren, or Kenneth Cole. Generally get the necklaces & ring combos with bracelets & earrings being the cheaper couplings.
