Boutique Week is a bi-annual shopping event in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami. Boutique Week was launched in October 2010 in New York, Boston, and Los Angeles with over 40 boutiques participating in each city.[1] Each of the participating boutiques offers their merchandise at a discount of at least 25% off during the selected week.
