What does Lagniappe mean?
Lagniappe is a word that evolved from a mix of Spanish, Native American, and French that became the Creole language of Southern Louisiana. Down there, it’s still used, often to describe a little extra gift a storekeeper might give a customer with purchase. By extension, it has come to mean a little added benefit or extra gift. Fabric gift bags are a little something extra both in the added value of their reusability and in their environmental benefits.


How do you pronounce it?

It’s easier than you think. It’s only two syllables and rhymes with “saran wrap” (minus the “sa”). Lan (as in land without the “d”) – yap (as in the neighbor’s yapping dog). See, no problem!
