Brad & Dellwen Flags

AMAZING selection! You won’t find a better variety of flags, spinners, windsocks and chimes anywhere close by. They have a ton of beautiful kites too. Be sure to see hello to Helga the parrot!

SUPER AWESOME people. We live in Chicago, but from NO and stocked up on all our gear. Helpful, delightful … we WILL be back! #ChiNOLA

Best flag shop I’ve walked into in my entire life! You are bound to find whatever flag you are looking for here!

If you’re into flags, or wind chimes or funky animal puppets, this is your store. It’s hard to miss this shop as you walk along the trendy Magazine Street, but the explosion of colours and flapping flags is only a tease to what waits inside. There is no wasted space in this store, with flags and banners of every stripe hanging from floor to ceiling. Wind chimes line the narrow pathways thru the store, making sure that customers run into them along the way, at least that’s what co-​owner Charles told me. Throughout this colourful cave of flags, there does seem to be a method to the madness, everything is organized into categories making finding your flag less of a scavenger hunt than you might first think.
Brad, the other co-​owner, said they’ve been there for 12 years now, so they must be doing something right. I’m not sure where all the negative reviews are coming from, I had quite a lovely time speaking with owners Brad and Charles, as well as their employee Jose, who all seemed very happy to tell me the history of the store and bits of trivia about some of the products, for example all the wind chimes come from Woodstock, NY (not China).
I stopped short of a five star rating because I ended up not buying any of their products (I’m actually not into flags that much, it was the colourful sidewalk display that I couldn’t resist) so I can’t vouch for the quality one way or the other. But from merely speaking with Charles and Brad (and even Helga, the parrot, yes they have a parrot, altho in a shop with this much going on it’s hard to see her at first), I have to say it was a wonderful experience for me. Here’s to another 12 years guys.

How business owners as aggressive and rude as this can stay in business is beyond me. Charles yelled at me and my 5 year old daughter until she cried. It was simply awful. I’m still not sure what happened, as we simply asked if we could buy a flag holder. It was scary for me and my 3 very young children. Please do not support them.

I found a mask here that I dearly loved, but I did not purchase it. Later, I regretted my decision, and couldn’t get back to the store before I returned home. I called the store, sent an email attachment with a picture of the mask, and they promptly shipped my mask to my home. I am so happy with the service they offered and the friendliness of the store. Thanks so much!

This place discriminates against people in hiring or job advertisements based on gender.

are your interests on facebook «mysogyny», «hating women’s suffrage», «fedoras», and «i am a nice guy»??? then you have found the place for all of your women-​hating and flag needs! buy a flag so everyone at jazz fest knows all the women within ten feet of you should shut up and get back to sandwich making!!!1

I bought a Carnival-​themed garden flag in January, and now that Carnival’s over, we went down to Brad and Dellwen’s to buy something everyday/​spring/​summer. Bought three garden-​size flags, a City of New Orleans flag, one with magnolia blossoms and one with a hummingbird. LOVE this store!

SO MANY FLAGS!!!
They literally have any flag you could ever want. Thousands, if not tens of thousands, in all shapes and sizes. The only problem is that you have to search. The organization could definitely be improved. But the owners usually know where to find things, so it’s not all bad.

Love this place! Their inventory is massive. The gentlemen are knowledgable, funny, and kind. When I’m in town I always pick up a flag or two.

guy is obnoxious and ripped off my girlfriend. she tried to return one of the flags that was bought 2 days before and he would return it. went in on my own and he was yelling at someone on the phone. place has too much crap everywhere and i tripped over some carpet. horrible experience. all chinese made stuff, buy over the net and save monies. that is what he is doing

DO NOT PURCHASE HERE! I purchased a flagpole for Jazz Fest, which broke on the first use, immediately after set up, even before I got a flag on it. When I called the store and politely informed the owner of what happened, he barked at me and yelled to me not to bother bringing the flag in, that he gave no warranties, and he would not be issuing a refund or exchange. Then he hung up on me! Poor products and poor (no) customer service. Eek! Methinks not.
P. S.: wanting a working product and to be treated respectfully does not equal «difficult to please»

Literally the nicest man, Charles helped me yesterday finding a birthday gift for my father. Not only did he have the exact flag I was looking for but also it was available in 2 different sizes and with or without fringe. This was my first time coming into the store and he treated me like I was one of his regular customers. I stayed an extra 15 minutes just to talk to him and his lovely bird Helga. I read all the reviews on here prior to my visit, and I felt the need to post. Some people just can’t be pleased and it shouldn’t be any reflection upon a store like this.

A true flag extravaganza! Also, the nicest people in the world. I accidentally walked out without a flag I had bought and just called them. They are putting it in the mail to me today and could not have been nicer.

I don’t understand the bad review at the bottom???
My friend, sister and I stopped by this wonderful store to purchase Mardi Gras décor for our house. The owner and his adorable employee were so kind. We really enjoyed our experience at this store.
It is soooo awesome when you walk in, it’s Alice Wonderlandish!!! The child in me definitely came out.
We spoke to the owner for quite some time about his merchandise and his precious parrot.
We will definitely be returning!!!
Thank you for the hospitality!!! :)

I don’t how a flag store can manage to be as bad as this one was, but it was an awful experience.

I was surprised when I checked in here earlier today to see that the flag shop had such low score (2.5 stars) and now I see why… only 2 reviews.
I think this shop is a hoot. The owners are very sweet and helpful. The selection is huge.
I’m not a super home-​decoratey person, but they carry such a variety here, that there truly is something for everyone. We’ve purchased Saints & Jazz Fest flags here. Today it was gifts for my Mom to give various folks. She bought 3 different New Orleans themed flags and was very pleased with the prices.
Yes, walking into the shop is an experience as you are walking with flags brushing your shoulders (even short me). If you’re claustrophobic, it could be a problem. Also the owners have a pet parrot in the store; I enjoyed talking to the bird, but my Mom is a bit phobic so she just pretended that it didn’t exist.
You can’t miss the store when it’s open since they put so much of the stock on the street and it’s really fun to see all the flags, windsocks and whirlygigs blowing in the wind.

A cool shop again on Magazine street. I went in early April and was on a mission to find a New Orleans flag for my house. They not only had a gorgeous selection of Louisiana inspired flags, they just had tons of flags. Every size — sports themed — college themed — hobby themed… I picked up a really cool wind spinner for my mom’s garden as well.
The owners are incredibly nice and had some great suggestions for what to do and eat in the area.
Go by and check them out.
