Baton Rouge has plenty of hidden gems, and tucked along Government Street is one worth adding to your next local shopping trip.

Located at 1857 Government Street within the Circa 1857 complex, The Back Room is a boutique filled with handmade jewelry, art, home décor, plants and unique finds that make browsing half the fun.

Meet the Maker

Local jeweler Jattra Heine brings a creative eye to The Back Room, giving Baton Rouge shoppers another place to discover pieces that feel a little more personal than what you might find at a traditional retailer.

Whether you're searching for a new everyday piece of jewelry, picking out a thoughtful gift or simply stopping in to see what catches your eye, The Back Room is the kind of place where you never quite know what you'll find.

More Than Jewelry

While jewelry may draw you in, there is plenty more to explore. The boutique's selection includes art, home décor and plants alongside its handmade pieces, creating an eclectic mix designed for shoppers who appreciate something a little different.

Its location also makes it an easy addition to an afternoon spent exploring Government Street. The shop sits within the Circa 1857 complex, an area already known for antiques, furniture, art and other unique finds.

Shop Small in Baton Rouge

Discovering businesses like The Back Room is part of what makes shopping local so much fun. Instead of knowing exactly what you'll find before you walk through the door, you get the opportunity to browse, discover a new local maker and potentially leave with something you weren't expecting.

So, the next time you're looking for a gift, refreshing your space or just in the mood to shop, take a trip down Government Street and see what's waiting inside.
