Road Kill

5 Stars! I'm a NOLA local. The heel of my platform boot fell off one shoe in the Quarter Halloween weekend and I hailed a taxi to get me to Roadkill as fast as possible because I knew they could save my outfit (and I knew they closed in 15 minutes). When I arrived the door was locked and they were cleaning. Even though I felt awful doing so - I knocked on the door. To my absolute delight - once I explained my problem they let me in and quickly found me the perfect replacement boots and got me on my way back to fun! Such sweet humanity to open up a store for a stranger at night. Will not be forgotten! And they even saved the box and my sad broken boots for my husband to retrieve the next day. Thanks a million!!

I'd like to give Road Kill five stars: the clothes are incredible and priced competitively for the quality, which isn't a guarantee in this deeply touristed district. Coats, capes, shirts, shoes, jackets, goth, steampunk--it's all there and very cool. The two women that helped me were also friendly and knew the product and the fitting room is as stylish as the rest of the place. My issue is that I wanted a different size of something in stock and left my number on a peice of paper to get a call later (I haven't gotten a call, but it might just not be back in stock, so no big deal). I was hoping I could simply check back online, but the web page is a seldom-updated disaster. So, I loved the shop, and I'll be back when I'm in NOLA, but I'd also love it if I could buy stuff from NY State, where I live, and just have it shipped. Clean up the web page so I can do that?

Where style lives and breaths. Road Kill is a clothing boutique for men and women specializing in cool, original clothing with heavy leaning into punk, rock, and pop aesthetics. Everything from tops, bottoms, costumes, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories will be found here. Far from fast fashion, these are quality threads that will not only last you, but will keep catching eyes for years to come.The people working here are friendly and patient. They'll help you find the clothes you want in the sizes they have.Prices are high at Road Kill, but that's to be expected with the level of quality you're going to be getting out of your clothes. In our last visit, my wife found a beautiful and colorful set of boots, made with genuine leather. They were cool, comfy, and around $150. Which might be high for some, but honestly, we thought it was an excellent deal.Whether you need to dress up for a special night, or need to expand your already magnificent wardrobe, Road Kill has got you covered.

Like the best parts of New Orleans it is strange and wonderful and filled with surprises. We frequented this shop no less than 3 times in the same week and we never walked out empty handed. Some reviews suggest the prices are high-I did not find that to be the case. The variety was crazy, the quality of products solid and the staff were super kind and helpful. I am a bit annoyed (but I understand) the all sales final policy. I had bought a mask for my son and it didn't end up fitting him. So we bought another. Oh well. But this is the perfect store for prepare shopping.

This shop is on regular rotation for just about all my fancy costume needs and I'm glad it's conveniently located on Decatur in the French Quarter. What I especially appreciate is how helpful the employees are. The other day I was looking for the ladies version of my husband's elaborate jacket that gets him compliments whenever he wears it on parade day or Mardi Gras itself. Although there wasn't a ladies version, I was helped out to find a long button-up vest that was the perfect match. I'm still thinking on it but will likely go back and purchase it. Items here are of better quality than other similar shops, so this of course commands a higher price. It's not just costumes though. Looking for goth/steampunk/new romantic/rockabilly styles? They've totally got you here. The shoe collection is also impressive. While the front of the store appears small, it goes back pretty deep and I have no doubt you'll find whatever your dark little heart desires here.

Gawd, I loved this place. My kid is all gothed out lately and the stuff in here answered the mail for sure.If you're looking for some of the coolest gear in town for a night out then Road Kill is the place for you. I have to say, though, I wouldn't call this a costume store (as some reviewers have). This is a place for day-to-day wear for awesome people.I'm so glad I set a spending limit before entry because we could easily justify a second mortgage on our house buying all of the amazing stuff in this store.Sales staff were amazing too. Upbeat and fun.

Love love love this shop! It's one of my faves in NOLA!The best place not only for goth, Victorian wear, but also fabulous shoes and Hell Bunny. Oh, not to mention the festival and fantasy wear!It's a must do if you love eclectic clothing and accessories!

Horrible place. Horrible owner. Poor material. Don't purchase anything hereThe worst customer service I ever got!Not worth the money.

SCAM! RACIST! RUDE! DO NOT ENTER THIS SHOP. if you enter, never spend money in this place. This man is the rudest and meanest human I've ever encountered. I was helped by a young lady and chose three pieces which she set aside for me at the cashier. When going up to pay, this man in the picture told me to get out of the store. I only took these pictures AFTER my experience, and did not take any pictures while shopping around. I wanted these pictures for the review to be able to warn others. Being completely caught off guard of him trying to kick me out of the store, I thought I didn't hear right. I will also mention that I am a New Orleans local, with an accent, and this was not my first time at this shop. This time, this man just told me to "F off" and get out. This was extremely humiliating as each piece was going to cost almost $200!! Obviously not worth the price or the experience. Save yourself time and money and stay away.

Never have I ever had such a horrible and embarrassing experience. Went to this overpriced store to purchase a few pieces for burning man. Picked up two coats and a vest and went to pay. When getting to the cashier, met a guy who after speaking to a few locals around we understand he is the owner and his name is John. John immediately looked and us and said- "get out of here, I'm not going to sell you anything". We were absolutely shocked. We thought we didn't hear right. We asked him, "can we buy these?" And he replied "no, I'm having a bad day, get out of my store." Two of these coats were almost $200 each, we weren't trying to buy peanuts! After going outside I realized I was wearing a necklace with a Jewish star. This might have been his issue, but he didn't say it was. I DO NIT RECOMMEND GOING HERE.
