About the Organization

In 1995, during an antique buying trip in England, we discovered a flag of the British royal family, known as the royal standard. Inspired by this find, we founded The Royal Standard. Since then, we have traveled extensively across Europe and the world to design unique accessories for your wardrobe and home. Our product range includes fashion accessories, home decor, holiday decorations, and entertaining essentials.

Our products are known for their exceptional quality and value, blending classic elements with modern touches to enhance your wardrobe, complete a room, or serve as perfect gifts.

The Royal Standard opened its first retail store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1998, followed by additional stores. In 2009, we launched our first wholesale showroom in Atlanta. Currently, we operate 7 retail locations across Louisiana, Texas, and Alabama, with wholesale showrooms in Dallas and Atlanta. Our products are available in over 4,200 retail outlets across the US.
