boutique shop

Small curated retailer

A boutique shop is a small retail store offering specialized or distinctive merchandise, often with a curated selection and personalized service.

The phrase is somewhat redundant—boutique alone carries the sense of a small, specialized shop—but emphasizes the retail nature: She found the vintage dress at a boutique shop downtown.
