SHADE, ELEVATED
Brick and Mortar
Each of our KREWE stores is meticulously designed, from picking the perfect location to building our sunny, plant-filled retail experience. Everything that you find online can be found in-store, unless the frame is sold out. Oh, and the refreshments are on us.
We are acutely aware of our responsibility to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and the health and safety of our KREWE is always our utmost priority. Rest assured, our team's cleaning rituals are the best in the game — and we are carefully working to start the reopening process in alignment with local government guidelines.
