New Orleans is set to welcome a new addition to its retail scene as popular women’s clothing store Reformation plans to open a location on Magazine Street. The new store will be situated at 3909 Magazine Street and is anticipated to start operations in fall 2025. The brand is well-known for its chic, minimalist designs and commitment to sustainable fashion, making it a desirable shop for trend-conscious shoppers in the city.
The Reformation store will occupy the former space of the Degas Gallery, a prominent local art gallery that has decided to relocate. The gallery will be moving next door to 3189 Magazine Street and is scheduled to reopen on September 6, 2025. The relocation paves the way for Reformation to begin construction in the new location. Interior renovations are already underway, as indicated by the presence of small black decals on the store’s windows.
According to public records, renovation permits for the new store were approved in July, allowing construction to commence promptly. While the official opening date has yet to be disclosed, indications suggest that the operations will begin within the fall 2025 timeframe, aligning with the local retail season.
The arrival of Reformation adds to the shifting landscape of retail on Magazine Street, particularly between Louisiana Avenue and Napoleon Avenue in the Uptown area. This corridor has seen a significant increase in boutiques and specialty shops, attracting shoppers with a diverse selection of high-end retail options. Alongside Reformation, other popular brands, including Free People, Billy Reid, and Indochino, already have locations in this vibrant stretch, reinforcing Magazine Street’s reputation as a shopping destination.
Reformation, which first opened its doors in Los Angeles, has quickly gained acclaim for its fashionable yet eco-conscious clothing. The brand’s sustainable initiatives aim to reduce environmental impact and promote responsible consumption within the fashion industry, resonating well with a growing audience that prioritizes ethical shopping choices. This philosophy aligns perfectly with the increasingly conscious consumer base in New Orleans, making the brand a fitting addition to the local retail landscape.
The opening of Reformation on Magazine Street marks a significant shift in the boutique offerings available to the local community and visitors alike. As construction progresses, anticipation builds for what promises to be an exciting retail experience that reflects the unique style and values of New Orleans. With a commitment to sustainability and a reputation for style, Reformation is poised to capture the attention of fashion lovers in the Crescent City.
As the fall 2025 opening approaches, local residents and visitors are encouraged to keep an eye on developments surrounding the new Reformation store and the changes taking place along Magazine Street. In a city known for its vibrant culture and unique shopping experiences, the addition of Reformation is emblematic of the ongoing evolution of retail in New Orleans.
