BRASS by Circa 1857

Super cute giftshop of locally-made and vintage items. The jewelry is wonderfully eclectic and I definitely took some home with me. The shopgirl was very knowledgeable about the local museums and about the need for food security as well as better public transportation. There's a cute tea bar set up like an oldskool salad bar.

This souvenirs and gifts shop is a wonderful taste of downtown Baton Rouge. It's places like this that keep culture here in the capital city. Just about everything here is a local collectable or something made by a Red Stick native. Take all this and combine it with warm welcoming owners and you get this 10 star review!?! Wait, 5 stars is all that's allowed. Ohh well.

Wonderful little gift shop in the heart of downtown! Everything is local. A perfect place to get something for that special someone- you won’t leave empty handed!

So excited downtown has this place! Be sure to stop by if you have even 5 minutes.

If you have 10 minutes, Luke will be happy to make you a cup of tea and would love to chat!

Luke has squeezed so many wares by local artists and craftsmen that it takes a couple of trips around the store to see it all. Every single time, there is something new for your consideration! If you didn't find the perfect momento of your time in Baton Rouge, you didn't spend enough time looking.

This is a wonderful shop if you're looking for great local goods and artwork. The shopkeeper Luke is a wonderful and welcoming host with thoughtful recommendations for travelers visiting the area! Stop by!

Really pleasant visit to BRASS today. Luke walked me through their build your own tea bar and helped me build a delicious peppermint concoction.

While my tea steeped I was able to peruse the gift offerings and picked up three small pieces of original artwork for my own home. Though I'm a local, they would be very packable as take-home souvenirs for out-of-towners. Great concept and execution; excited to have this as a shopping option in BR!

Beautiful shop with great customer service. Claire was able to tell me about all of the local artists featured in the shop and led me to buy a nostalgic shirt! Will be back for gifts

SUCH a cool and friendly nook!!! Went in to just browse the neat items, left with a personally concocted and customized cup of tea. Please go visit!

Really lovely gift shop with nice prints and local artwork. There is also tea and coffee and a selection of preserves. Very friendly owner with lots of good advice about places of interest locally. Highly recommend.

So excited Brass has opened in downtown Baton Rouge! Perfect place to go shopping for that unique gift for someone or yourself that represents Louisiana. There is everything from locally hand crafted jewelry, stained glass pieces, art, beautiful wooden cutting boards and bowls to unique furniture and so much more. The store is a delight to shop in.
The added benefit is you can get pick a specialty tea from many choices or cup of coffee to have while you are strolling around shopping. Brass is not to be missed the next time you visit downtown Baton Rouge!

Sign up for their pottery classes! Very fun for a date night or girls night out. The instructor was hands-on, going above and beyond to make sure our vision for our piece came to life

What a charming shop! I'm so pleased to have found a new place to purchase unique gifts. Beautiful inventory. And the staff are so friendly and helpful. It's got a great atmosphere. Plus the tea bar is a wonderful addition.

Love this place. It has a little tea bar in it that’s so cool.
