boutique
Trendy small retailer
A boutique is a small shop selling fashionable clothing, accessories, or specialty goods, often with a curated or upscale feel: a bridal boutique, a vintage boutique on the corner.
As an adjective, boutique describes something small-scale, specialized, or exclusive: a boutique hotel, a boutique law firm, boutique wines.
The term suggests personalized service or niche appeal rather than mass-market offerings.
