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. :-)
