Nestled in New Orleans’ laid-back Bywater neighborhood, Low Timers is a compact time machine filled with stylized Americana fashion predating the 1970s, vintage signage, old school trophies and pendants and few taxidermy animals. Co-founders Ham Smith and Kelsey Christian launched Low Timers online in 2017. The business went analog in 2019 when they opened the brick-and-mortar store. Appealing to consumers searching for a piece of history, the store has gained a following of visitors hunting for unique souvenirs, designers on inspiration trips and local eccentrics.
