Instagram Boutiques’ are mobile fashion stores on Instagram. They are usually strictly ‘online stores’ carrying style pieces on the social media platform.

These online stores advertise their wares on Instagram with pictures of what they have in store (hopefully).

As a precaution, there are steps to note before ordering/buying from random Instagram boutiques.
