We’re inspired by our vibrant city and the dynamic landscape of Southeast Louisiana.

It’s right in our name - “Latofiume” (lah-toe-fyoo-may) can be roughly translated as “Riverside.”

While inspiring, we recognize the fragility of this ecosystem and the positive and negative impact the built environment has had (and continues to have) on the region.

We are proud to commit a percentage of our annual profits to the joint efforts of coastal restoration in Southeast Louisiana and alternative energy research along the Gulf Coast.
