A boutique is a small shopping outlet, especially one that specializes in elite and fashionable items such as clothing and jewelry. The term entered into everyday English use in the late 1960s when, for a brief period, London was the center of the fashion trade. Carnaby Street and the Kings Road were the focus of much media attention as home to the most fashionable boutiques of the era. Also referred to as lejolie boutique meaning beautiful sounding relaxed. Boutique is a beautiful version of a shop, and also a relaxed version of shop.
A clothing boutique can be a profitable venture. The key is establishing a particular niche for your clothing boutique. For example, you could specialize in women's formal clothing and accessories, including jewelry. Consider purchasing an existing franchise if you have money to invest. Go to Franchisedirect.com or Franchiseopportunities.com and look for potential clothing boutique franchises. You can also start you clothing boutique from scratch with a wholesale supplier.
