A specialist shop, often selling clothing, accessories or products from a particular brand.
A boutique brings a focused selection of products together for sale, often around a particular brand or area of fashion. It may operate independently or form part of a larger retail business, and the term also applies to specialist online shops. In a physical fashion boutique, selling can sit alongside fittings, alterations and other services needed to complete a purchase. The word describes the retail setting rather than a particular job or ownership model. A boutique role may therefore involve customer service, product handling or coordination with a workroom, depending on the responsibilities stated in the posting.
