Ethan’s Closet began long before we opened our doors. My first son, Ethan, was born prematurely and spent time in the NICU. March of Dimes helped our family stay close to him when we needed it most. Being a NICU mom changed me. It strengthened me, softened me, and taught me how much the smallest moments matter.

Before opening the boutique, I worked as a store manager and trainer with a Fortune 500 company. I wanted to build something of my own while making more time to be with Ethan. In June 2011, I stepped out on faith and opened an upscale consignment boutique with clothes from Ethan’s very own closet. That’s how Ethan’s Closet got its name.

Today, Ethan’s Closet Children’s Boutique & Little Feet in Gonzales, Louisiana, is where families come for timeless children’s clothing, expert children’s shoe fittings, embroidery, monogramming, and personal styling. Our mascot, Ethan “The Brave” Monkey, reminds me of the courage it took to begin and the joy of celebrating every little step along the way.

I’m grateful for my family, especially our four sons, including our triplets, and for the loyal customers in Gonzales, Prairieville, and beyond who have grown with us. You’ve trusted us with first shoes, special outfits, and so many moments in between. It’s a joy to be part of your family’s story.

Thank you for shopping small & supporting local!
