What is a boutique?

A boutique is a small store that specializes in a particular type of product or style. The term is typically used to describe clothing stores that sell unique, high-end, or designer clothes. Boutiques often offer a curated selection of clothing, accessories, and other items that appeal to a specific demographic or target market. In addition to clothing, some boutiques specialize in jewelry, beauty products, home goods, or other niche items. Boutiques may be independently owned and operated or part of a larger chain. They often have a more intimate and personalized shopping experience than larger department stores and may offer services such as personal styling, alterations, or gift wrapping.
