boutique shops
Small curated stores
Boutique shops are small retail stores offering specialized or curated merchandise, typically with a distinctive style or focus.
The term emphasizes intimacy and selectivity over the scale of department stores or chains: The neighborhood is full of boutique shops selling handmade jewelry and vintage clothing.
The phrase is somewhat redundant, since boutique alone carries the same meaning.
