Two Sioux Falls-area boutiques are finalists in an online contest to determine the best global boutique.

Beautique in Brandon and Filly Flair in Sioux Falls are competing against Cheekys in Idaho, Kaley Jase Boutique in North Carolina and The Lace Cactus in Texas.

It’s part of a contest by The Boutique Hub, a digital media company covering the boutique industry. More than 4,000 boutiques participated, and more than 300,000 people have voted.

Voting goes until Aug. 21.

Awards also are given in each state for the most popular online boutique, storefront boutique, children’s boutique and mobile boutique, as well as a best overall award.

In addition to the two global finalists, the other finalists for best overall boutique in South Dakota are Glamour Defined, Laurie Belle’s Boutique and The Mason Jar Boutique.
