Bora Bora, USA

Tucked away on the picturesque north shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Mandeville, Louisiana, set against a backdrop of historic homes, tree-lined streets, and breezy lakefront views Bora Bora is a boutique which effortlessly blends the sophistication of high fashion with the ease of coastal living. Only a short drive from the buzz of New Orleans, Mandeville itself is a blend of small-town charm and quiet luxury and the boutique mirrors this ambiance perfectly: chic yet relaxed, friendly with a fashion-forward vibe. 

Founded in 1999, the store entered a new era in 2024 under the ownership of Juliette St. Romain, a visionary with a lifelong passion for fashion. With a background in journalism, Juliette soon discovered her love for styling and curating fashion collections, ultimately leading her to redefine this hidden gem into a world of serene style and seaside zest. Located near the lakefront, where sailboats drift lazily under cypress-draped skies and sunsets cast golden light across the water, its wide and modern storefront windows lure shoppers inside where a curated collection of beach-day essentials awaits discovery.

The boutique’s interiors channel the timeless elegance of European beach clubs, with seafoam hues, shell-inspired lighting, and airy, cabana-style dressing rooms that evoke a sun-drenched getaway. From a whimsical beach ball pillow to a vintage-inspired wicker bar cart, each design element creates a space that feels like a chic escape. With its upscale selection the boutique offers a diverse, inclusive range of styles and sizes; from the bold prints, flattering cuts, and vibrant energy of Maaji and Beach Riot, to more classic silhouettes by brands such as Seafolly, and Jantzen. The carefully curated selection empowers every woman to feel confident and beautiful—on the beach, by the pool, or simply soaking up a sunny Louisiana afternoon. 
For over 25 years, the boutique has built trust through genuine customer care and personalized service, and Juliette continues to connect with customers in a fun and authentic way. It’s this warm, welcoming spirit that keeps shoppers of all generations coming back, season after season. But the vision doesn’t stop in Mandeville… With aspirations to franchise and expand into new markets, Juliette’s dream is to bring the Bora Bora lifestyle to beaches—and cities—around the world.

We love the cabana-style dressing rooms draped in striped linen and the vintage-inspired whicker bar cart evoking playful memories of breezy afternoons by the sea.
