Bonham, Texas -- After more than 340,000+ votes were cast, Blessings & Butterflies Kid Kouture of Bonham, Texas was recently named 2019 Children’s Boutique of the Year by shoppers!

The Boutique Awards is the only global recognition event for independent boutique retail owners in the fashion industry, hosted by The Boutique Hub & Boutique.Style. The Awards
recognize and celebrate the best boutiques across all 50 States in the US, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, in the categories of Storefront Boutique of the Year, Online Boutique of the Year, Children’s Boutique of the Year, Mobile Boutique of the Year, and State or Country Overall Boutique of the Year.

The awards celebrates retail at a unique time, when many are dubbing a current retail apocalypse, with the closings of multiple notable big box retailers and mall staples. However industry trends show a strong upswing in the boutique retail market.

The Boutique Hub, the global voice and Hub of the Boutique Fashion Industry, cites one of the strongest boutique markets in history with new boutiques opening daily across the globe, and established boutiques posting some of the strongest sales to date. The Shop Small movement is certainly alive and well as big box retail dwindles.

Blessings & Butterflies Kid Kouture is a trendy children’s clothing boutique with a vintage twist, located right off the Bonham square on Main Street next to Luna Azul. The store opened in November of 2012 and carries the latest in boutique clothing for boys and girls ages newborn through tween.

Every item is hand selected by the boutique owner, Stephanie Liebel.
