What happenned to boutique's, in the old days my girlfriend used to go to them buy her mini skirts and dresses and frilly girly things wich I adored...But now on the High Street I don't see the Name "Boutique"...Where did it go ????.

Where did it come from... a fashion thing perhaps?

I love that word. It is still in use altough tends to be applied to most very alternative shops.....PIPPY's in the early 80's used to describe itself as a boutique, as did various similar stores around town. Cant think of any shops using the word now in their name......

Boutiques were all the thing in late 60's and throughout the 70's usually associated with hippie clothing shops and Carnaby street style fashions....

Didn't there used to be a 'boutique' around Pinstone Street/Cambridge Street that was called Sexy Rexy? As a very young child, I thought this was a very rude name for a shop!!

What about the boutique at the top of Charles street that was owned by Roger Howe ,Pete Stringfellow's best mate.It was called"Lift up your skirts and fly".There was also the Male Boutique on Orchard Street .

Take me back home.

did anyone see it in todays Sun.
1/3 girls don't like shopping. :headbang:
