As for all the things I listed, the word "typical" was important, it would certainly not require them all. Maybe some were not well chosen. The idea was that is you see a shop that has a number of those features, it is more likely to be a boutique
As for the linked with fashion houses, Isn't it possible that e.g. Escada (*), Dior, YvesSaintLaureant have shops that exclusively sell items from their brand ? Those shops will always be boutiques for me. m. (*) no, my nickname was not inspired by this brand. :-) On Fri, Sep 1, 2017 at 10:36 AM, Martin Koppenhoefer <[email protected]> wrote: > > > 2017-09-01 7:58 GMT+02:00 Marc Gemis <[email protected]>: >> >> Let's try to find some characteristics for boutique >> >> typically >> >> * has "boutique" somewhere on the window or logo (as Dave F wrote) > > > > wouldn't require this > > >> >> * smaller than shops from chains (limited collections) > > > > not sure this is a good criterion, would drop it > > >> >> * not part of a chain > > > > +1 > > >> >> * only for women > > > > not sure either, surely there are many shops for men calling themselves > "boutique" > > >> >> * sells only certain "expensive" brands > > > > might sell also "no brand" or "no common / well-known" brand. > > >> >> * no denim nor sports > > > > there are "exclusive" denim products you might find in a boutique, maybe > true for sports though > > >> >> * side-line for other products (as Dave F also wrote) > > > > might be, not a requirement IMHO > > >> >> * might be linked with fashion houses > > > > What do you mean by "linked"?
