Fleur de Rie was founded by Cherie Abadie, a New Orleans girl with a passion for her city and a steadfast belief in the importance of supporting local businesses. After being unable to find a festive rain boot for the often-wet Mardi Gras season, in 2019 she started her own line of Mardi Gras rain boots with her savings from waiting tables. Her goal is to deliver products that give any New Orleanian, native or adopted, a piece of home.
