Can't Miss Boutique Shops In Baltimore

In the heart of Maryland, Baltimore is a cosmopolitan hub with distinctive neighborhoods that speak to its rich history. One of the benefits of a city with diverse cultures is the opportunity to support local businesses with an eye for aesthetics. Instead of venturing to the large chain stores to shop for clothes and gifts, stop by a local boutique that sells uniquely curated goods. These are some of the best boutiques in Baltimore.

In the Details
In the Details is a small shop in the Hampden neighborhood of northern Baltimore. This boutique offers clothing for both men and women, and provides an excellent alternative to big, trendy department stores. The owner is personable and honest in suggesting clothing and accessories, some of which are locally made. The prices are reasonable as well – watch out for sales on the first Friday of every month.
