A boutique (from the French word for "shop") is a small shop that sells expensive or designer clothing and/or accessories.

In many places this tag is widely, but wrongly used to tag shops unrelated to clothing as in French speaking areas "boutique" is commonly part of a shop name[1].

In USA word "boutique" is also used to refer to shops selling houseware, skin & hair care products etc.[2]

How to map

Set a node or draw as an area along the shop outline. Tag it with shop=clothes or other matching shop value and name=*.

Please, do not use shop=boutique as it is not really clear and there are alternative clear tagging.
