Job Description

About the Organization In 1995 on an antique buying trip in England, we found a flag of the British royal family. This flag, in British terms, is known as the royal standard. We adopted this name, and our company, The Royal Standard, began. Since the founding of our company, we have tirelessly traveled throughout Europe and the world in search of inspiration to design unique accessories for you and your home. Our product mix ranges from fashion accessories to home decor and from holiday decorations to entertaining essentials for hosting the perfect gathering.

Our products offer an uncompromising combination of exceptional quality with tremendous value. Our products combine classic elements with modern touches and are designed to enhance a wardrobe, complete a room or to become the perfect gift.

The Royal Standard opened its first retail store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1998. A second and then a third store soon followed. During the years that ensued, we had numerous requests to wholesale our products. In 2009, we opened our first wholesale showroom in Atlanta. Today, we have 7 retail locations in Louisiana, Texas, and Alabama and wholesale showrooms in Dallas and Atlanta. Our products are available across the US in over 4,200 retail establishments.
