Fashion stores Prague

How can you shop in Prague without visiting Bata? This family-owned company, founded in 1894 in Zlín, is now one of the largest shoe manufacturers in the world. The headquarters have moved to Switzerland, but the Czech company still has hundreds of stores in the country and more than 5,000 worldwide. You might as well treat yourself and go straight to one of the most beautiful stores: the one on Wenceslas Square, which occupies a building inaugurated in 1929, in the purest functionalist style.

A newcomer to the Prague clothing scene opens a tiny boutique on the corner of Beneditská Street. Beware, it's also a little trip back in time: here the seventies are in the spotlight! Jackets, pants, streetwear, but also a lot of accessories and decorative elements that evoke the fashion, very Americanized, taken by the youth half a century ago. Don't panic, it's not a question of bringing out the "bell-bottoms" and the sheepskins: all this has been brought up to date, and it's quite successful.

In the heart of the Old City, we find here all the creations of Klára Nademlýnská, one of Prague's most prominent fashion designers in recent years, who made her mark in the 1990s in Paris. It has had its own line since 1998 and has since then followed collections that have seduced many stars around the world. The clothing and jewellery collections are displayed in a very pleasant shop where regular meetings with stylists, creators or designers are also organised.

For almost thirty years, Helena Fejkova has been part of the Czech fashion scene. Her creations are always innovative, according to the seasons, and she draws her inspiration from the four corners of the world to feed her collections as well as the costumes of the shows (theater, opera, ballet) to which she regularly contributes. The showroom on Vinohradská Street will give you a good overview of her talent, and you can also find many of her past creations on her website.

The right address to find the latest accessories and fashionable men's clothes. Many brands from the most prominent Czech - or foreign - designers are represented in this trendy and hype store such as the Danish Henrik Vibskov or the Czech Jan Černý. The staff is very attentive and the atmosphere, just a stone's throw from Wenceslas Square, is far from touristy. The prices are obviously high, but that's the price to pay to get a fresh, modern, chic and elegant look. The old collections are often on sale.

In the labyrinth of cobbled streets of old Prague, you will find the Leeda shop, founded by Czech designer Lucie Kutalkova in 2003. If the store does not look good from the outside, the creations are worth a visit. The two creators of the brand collaborate with artists, musicians, designers or photographers to create original pieces with limited production. Each collection, oriented around a theme, tells a story that stems from the association of artists and the brand. Unique and of excellent quality.

A duo of designers from the former Botas 66 house are embarking on a sneaker adventure, and it's well worth a look. Comfort, colors, materials... everything is innovative and rather daring in form. Eliška Horčíková (Camper) was also involved in the design! In short, you're not entering just another sneaker boutique, but a designer's den that offers its vision of a trendy, comfortable and colorful urban look. The brand's eco-responsible approach is particularly noteworthy, as it strives to produce as locally as possible.
