Fiesta Y'all May Lagniapep Box
Hola! Your May Box is full of local Mexican flavors from all over Louisiana. We wanted to pack your box full with your very own local Louisiana fiesta!! We created a brand new t-shirt that is gorgeous, fiesta-inspired, and ready for you to celebrate in style! We worked closely with our friends over at Cajun Crate to bring some of the best Louisiana food vendors for the perfect fiesta in a box. Senoritas we hope you enjoy this box as much as we did putting it together!
May Lagniappe Box
Tacos, Margaritas, Guacamole oh my y'all! We have been so inspired by our southern Mexican Louisiana cuisine that comes out of our state that we had to create a fun, festive, vibrant and colorful design. What better way to enjoy Cinco De Mayo this May in your new fiesta y'all tee.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere. We found an easy and yummy local margarita mix. They are true Certified Cajuns and have a relentless passion to make all things taste great. We hope you think so too!

This Louisiana magnolia leaf print was illustrated by hand and printed to add a pop of Louisiana heritage to any space. Lauren is from Shreveport, Louisiana hince her business name. “Line Avenue” is a popular street in Shreveport.

We instantly fell in love with this print and knew our subscribers would too! Magnolia’s in the springtime are just gorgeous and now you get to have a piece of that wherever you are!
