designer boutique

Upscale clothing store

A designer boutique is a small, upscale shop selling clothing, accessories, or other goods from high-end fashion designers.

Unlike department stores, boutiques offer curated selections in intimate settings, often with personalized service: She found the perfect dress at a designer boutique in SoHo.

The term emphasizes exclusivity and premium pricing.
