The Village Boutique
The Village Boutique was first released into the UK range of Sylvanian Families in 1995, having been released into the Japan Market the previous year. It came with lots of accessories, including a selection of outfits, a changing room, tailor dummies and a mirror. It was a larger sized building, the same size as the Village Store and the Harvester Restaurant. In Japan, they released building extensions you could add to the shops, to create a living space upstairs. The extensions also came as a downstairs and upstairs in one building called The Big Red House. The upstairs of the boutique is the upstairs of that building, to add a living space. The extensions were mentioned in the Sylvanian fan club magazine, with a UK release hopeful. Sadly the upstairs extensions or the Big Red House never got a UK release.
In my village, the Boutique is run by the Bramble Hedgehog family and their good friend, Andrea Butterglove. Mortimer Bramble is the master tailor in Sylvania, so he had to have his own business. His family live above the Boutique in their large apartment. In the village the Boutique is next door to the Babblebrook's Village Store. I tried many different ways to display this building in my collection, before deciding that I wanted the apartment above the shop to add to the display. It took me a while, but I eventually found two of the large red houses to use the upstairs to add to the buildings. Now I need to find a third so I can use it as an actual house.
