Boutique Master Post - The good, the bad and the ugly!
Main Post:
This post will act as a collection of all of the boutiques our members have tried and recommend (or don't). There are some rules for commenting though so be sure to read them before commenting below!
Every main comment will be a new boutique with information about their full name, nicknames and owner names as well as app or website links if you want to include them.
If you've ever had experience with that specific boutique, feel free to reply to that comment to give more details! Replies are the perfect place to let us know what you think of their live sale hosts, shipping time, products or fit advice. We want this master post to be a resource for anyone coming to the community to get more distilled information about the boutique.
If you love a boutique, give it an upvote so our communities favorites will be at the top!
If you can't find a main comment about a boutique you're interested in or know about, feel free to create a new main comment for them with all of the important identifying information. Be sure to look through the whole post before adding it though!
I'll be moderating this post closely to make sure it stays organized so be sure to comment according to the rules above ❤️

Small boutique owners who are open only 20 hrs a week, tell me how you make this work.
Main Post:
I’m so curious! My area is covered in super cute boutiques that people have clearly put a lot of work in them, and then they are open like 10-3 on weekdays only. Tell me how you get the bills paid.
- from someone who runs businesses that are open 13 hours a day 365 days a year, who is tired
Top Comment: I have a lot of experience in this field and can break it down to three commonalities. They do a lot of business online and use the boutique as more of a storage unit. They have a ton of money to burn and don't feel the financial pressure to change their current lives. In other words, they are running the store mainly as a hobby. Oftentimes these people are soft retired or have spouses that are bankrolling the boutique. They have customers that buy exclusively through them. This happens a lot with older clientele. Hope this helps!
Boutique 4k, I'm confused
Main Post:
I'm new to collecting 4k movies, as of yet I have been just buying titles of Amazon, and I grabbed a few from a link on here (shout I think)
I keep seeing talk of boutique labels, but I am not sure how they work. I can see they have better covers, and maybe new special features but beyond that is there any difference between a boutique release and a regular?
Specifically I am talking about picture quality, do these labels do their own 4k prints or does everyone use what the studios give them?
Also are boutiques just for movies that regular studios don't put out or are there studio versions of movies and then boutique versions that are different quality.
Top Comment: You don’t get a digital code, that’s another thing to keep in mind. Typically more obscure films
Can I ask this here??
Main Post:
I am pretty new to boutique shopping. I have a pretty clear idea of which boutique to stay away from, but are there any that are just fantastic and are recommended to shop with?

Should I give up on my Boutique?
Main Post:
I started an online only women boutique and felt like I had a great vision. I've been open for several months and not made one sale. Idk what I could be doing to help. I put everything I had into it and don't have the funds for consultants or marketing firms. I try to post on social media but I'm not getting any views. Should I call it quits and face the music or is there something I'm missing? Any advice would be appreciated.
Top Comment: This thread has turned into a store review, which is against r/shopify rules, so I'm going to lock this thread now and invite you to post again on r/reviewmyshopify with a link to your website to resume the discussion. Wishing you the best of luck going forward. Sincerest thanks to everyone for providing advice with the best intentions.

Where to shop?
Main Post:
Okay, I need help. I want to buy some new stuff online but I don’t want to be buying from a store that just buys their clothes from places like temu or SHEIN. Where should I shop?
*edit: I should have said I am looking for something like bohemian
Top Comment: BAR by Alexa Rae is my personal favorite! The girls are so sweet and helpful, have great customer service, and fair prices compared to other boutiques and only $5 shipping!
