Celebrate the story of Maison Blanche with a pint glass inspired by a New Orleans department store that began in 1897. Its Canal Street flagship became a landmark, while the company’s changing ownership and growth across Louisiana and Florida chart a century of American retail history. The name also brings to mind Mr. Bingle, the beloved local Christmas mascot. Raise a glass to the memories, places, and traditions that made Maison Blanche part of New Orleans life.
Founded in New Orleans in 1897 by German immigrant Isidore Newman, Maison Blanche grew from a local department store into a regional chain. Its landmark Canal Street building was replaced around 1908–1909 by a distinctive structure that still stands. City Stores Company acquired the business in 1923 and merged it with Loveman's in 1950. After City Stores filed for bankruptcy in 1979, Goudchaux's of Baton Rouge bought three Maison Blanche stores and the name in 1982. The business operated as Goudchaux/Maison Blanche and reopened the Canal Street flagship in 1984. Following purchases of Florida chains in 1987 and 1988, the Goudchaux name was dropped and the stores became Maison Blanche. Expansion brought the chain to 16 Florida stores, but the company sold eight Gulf Coast stores to Dillard's in 1991. Mercantile Stores bought the remaining 16-store operation in 1992; its Louisiana stores retained the Maison Blanche name. Dillard's acquired Mercantile in 1998 and closed the Canal Street store after briefly operating it. The building later became part of the New Orleans Ritz-Carlton, which opened in 2000.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
