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).

It’s worthy to note that not all fashion pages/brands advertising on Instagram are ‘Instagram boutiques’- the ones with standalone stores/pickup centers are NOT Instagram boutiques.

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