The beauty of Prague extends from its architectural excellence to the picturesque river Vltava–but it doesn’t end there. Local boutiques and designers encapsulate the city’s artistic heritage through their inspired collections, leaving us wanting more
While Prague remains true to its prosperous pastimes, these Czech designers are evidently not afraid of contemporary influence. Allow the cobbled streets and storybook skylines to lead you on a tour of authentic European history, with some shopping along the way of course!
Leeda
Head of Design Lucie Kutalkova has always ensured that quality is at the forefront of her collections. Therefore, Leeda’s garments are both designed and produced in the Czech Republic. This ensures that the materials are traceable while handcrafted heritage is preserved. These characteristics form the essence of the brand.
What makes the boutique so popular is the sense of client involvement and their approach to preserving individualism in their curation. They offer customisation for a personal touch and tailored finishings, as well as the possibility to meet the face behind the designs.
Leeda envelopes the world of the art through their minimal yet complex designs. There is always an element of architectural and musical influence, while their campaign photography screams couture.
You can expect sophisticated yet edgy collections that emulate the city’s culture. Whether you’re searching for casual yet contemporary pieces, or something with editorial flare, you’ve come to the right place!
Open Monday to Saturday, 11:00 am – 7:00 pm
Address: Bartolomějská 304/1, 110 00 Staré Město, Czechia
Luciela Taschen
Lucia Jamrichova, founder of Luciela Taschen, invites you on a trip down memory lane through her love of old bags. Picture your grandmother’s favourite purse revived with a sense of modernity.
Her collections are constantly evolving to promote sustainability and responsible design. One of her recent ventures saw the use of pineapple leaves as a vegan alternative to cowhide!
This brand ensures that nothing goes to waste during production. They recycle everything, from leathers and suedes to glittering fabrics, rescuing textile treasures that otherwise would have disappeared into the landfill.
Describing the MM bag as their ‘little darling’, this original piece is made using scrap leather material. Each bag is ornate and unique–and you can customise the strap according to your requirements.
Address: Petrská 1135/10, 110 00 Petrská čtvrť, Czechia
Chatty
Chatty aren’t just all talk; making bold claims of capturing the elements of both androgynous fashion and streetwear. As one of the most respected Czech brands, they have been leaders within Prague’s high-end fashion industry.
Design duo Radka Sirková and Anna Tušková pride themselves on their dedication to craftsmanship as well as their distinctive designs which allow them to stand out amongst the crowd. You’ll find that all eyes are on them as they are Mercedes Benz Prague Fashion Week regulars.
Their seasonal collections are produced locally with a nod to sustainability, which is followed through by sourcing premium fabrics close to home.
They combine unexpected aesthetics like sporty chic and refined tailorings, creating the renowned Chatty look.
Pick up some new wardrobe staples or a statement piece to commemorate your escape to the city.
