In 1994 Luciano and Brigitte Holthausen opened the first Hemline in the historic New Orleans French Quarter overlooking Jackson Square.  Over the years, Hemline has achieved national recognition as a leader in women’s retail by building its success on superior customer service and an unmatched eye for the best new trends.

At the 609 Chartres Street location, we cater to a diverse clientele who visit and live in the historic Vieux Carré.  With such lines as BCBG, Nicole Miller, Yoana Baraschi, Dina Bar-el, DVF, Free People, Corey Lynn Calter, Hype, etc. we carry the pieces that our customers crave and that get them noticed.  When a customer walks into the store not only do they recognize great merchandise but the sales staff stands out as well. By delivering superior customer service and their ability to recognize a customer’s style, the staff builds first-name basis relationships with return visitors and New Orleanians alike.

Shopping at Hemline is like shopping in your best friend’s closet.  The comfort and honesty at Hemline is hard to find.  Not only have our customers noticed, but national and local publications have also praised Hemline.  Hemline was featured in the inaraugural issue of Lucky magazine in 2002 and again in August 2007.  In Style magazine named Hemline as the first of three reasons to go to New Orleans.  Local newspapers Where Y’at and Gambit Weekly city-wide polls have voted Hemline the #1 Women’s Clothing Store for several years in a row
