Business names have an often-idiosyncratic meaning.
"Claire's Boutique" implies that Claire runs a store that sells fashionable clothing, accessories, and other items of interest to those concerned with dressing well.
"Claire's Fashions" implies that Claire runs a store that sells fashionable clothing, presumably fashionable in Claire's eyes but not necessarily her own lines.
