[...] Enjoy shopping at your local pharmacy, grocer, clothing store where you know the owners and feel yourself going out of your way to give them business even if their prices are higher because you prefer to have the personalized service over cost reduction … Will not pay much attention to the prices at these stores because the experience is worth it … Prefer smaller restaurants that have a beautifully detailed menu who serve interesting wine pairings, have â€™storiesâ€™ for each dish and are a locals best kept secret (said restaurants donâ€™t have to be pricey, but arenâ€™t really a bargain). The service is personal and you canâ€™t have dinner there in under 2 hours.—Boutique Era [...]

The Boutique Generation…

I am all over Tara Hunt’s post about the Boutique Generation, all about the movement that we are seeing against the ‘Masses’, that is Mass Production, Mass Consumption and the like. Perhaps human beings aren’t scalable after all…

Via http://contributionmarketing.wordpress.com/ I read this great article. I would like to add that this behaviour is very much related to the growing awareness that we are all related to one another. This “nonduality insight” is making us (consciencely or subconsciencely) buy at the local shops and boutiques because we feed our own community in that way.

Tara what a great post,

The Boutique generation (me included) is definately the way of the world. I think the wave of gloablisation, mass production and mass consumption is passing. And good riddance I say!

Starbaucks coffee just doesn’t cut it compared to my local cafe. And why on earth would you want to wear a branded ‘Billboard’ T-Shirt when you can buy real craftsmanship from Threadless and the like.

It’s all about craftsmanship / craftswomanship!

[...] I’ve been reading Tara Hunt’s blog recently and I’ve been intrigued by some ideas that she’s been posting about recently, both on her blog and at the Citizen Agency. Her first post that caught my attention was about the Boutique Era and then a second post on Citizen Agency about a book called Small Giants. [...]
