While "boutique" is used most often to refer to small clothing stores, I have also seen the term used to small stores selling other types of goods. I think that additional tagging indicating the type of merchandise sold is a good idea. It seems to be a marketing term implying "small, and using snob appeal to justify elevated prices."

I was about to add new icon for shop=boutique and shop=fashion on our
default style, but after short discussion it seems we need some
clarification of these schemes definition:

The only sure thing is shop=clothes, both boutique and fashion are not
clearly defined and have "de facto" status. What should we do with them?
Is there a way to clearly define such shops and - if yes - what tagging
scheme should be used and which one should be deprecated? Should they
have their own tag at all or just additional tag for shop=clothes?
