boutique shopping

Small-store retail therapy

Boutique shopping is retail therapy focused on small, specialized stores rather than big-box chains or department stores.

The appeal lies in curated selections, personalized service, and distinctive merchandise: She prefers boutique shopping to fighting crowds at the mall.

The term often implies higher-end goods and a more leisurely, intimate experience.
