INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors and Shareholders
Crown Crafts, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Crafts,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 1, 2001 and April 2, 2000 and the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in
shareholders' (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended April 1, 2001. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed at Item 14. These financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Crown Crafts, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of April 1, 2001 and April 2, 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
April 1, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also in our opinion, such financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basis consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.
