Product Details & Size Guide
Carry a piece of New Orleans retail history into everyday routines with this Maison Blanche tough phone case. Founded in 1897, the store became a regional department store name, with its landmark Canal Street building standing as a reminder of the city’s commercial past. Its journey through multiple owners, Florida expansion, and the Mr. Bingle Christmas tradition gives this design a story beyond the storefront. A thoughtful pick for collectors and anyone who remembers Maison Blanche.
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.
