Don’t ever let anyone tell you that all the good ones are taken. While accepting nominations for this feature, About magazine heard about dozens of singular sensations in Stark County.

From the French word “shop”; one that specializes in elite and fashionable items. Exclusive. Eclectic. Exquisite. Those are a few of the adjectives that describe a boutique, those charming, independently owned shops that reflect the proprietor’s sense of art and fashion, where stylish staff happily cater to clients and purchases are packaged in pretty paper bags with plumes of tissue paper, like a gift, even if it is yours to keep.
