About Us

Welcome to Cocodrie Collective, your local cool stuff store in the heart of Lafayette, Louisiana!

We're an artist-owned and operated shop filled with thoughtfully made goods from independent artists and makers around the world. From art prints and ceramics to candles, jewelry, accessories, and home décor, every item is chosen because it has a story to tell, and every purchase helps support the creative people who made it.

But we're more than just a place to shop.

Cocodrie Collective is a place to gather, create, and celebrate. Through our artist-led workshops, Cocodrie Collective Art Market, and community events, we create opportunities for creatives to teach, connect, and grow. Whether you're visiting us in Lafayette or discovering us online, you're helping support independent creatives and the vibrant communities they inspire.

Founded by artist Colette Bernard in 2023 after returning home to Lafayette from New York City, Cocodrie Collective was built on one simple idea: supporting artists while making creativity a part of everyday life. Whether you're searching for the perfect gift, learning a new skill, or discovering your next favorite artist, we're so happy you're here!
