BackYard shows Czech fashion and contemporary jewellery in Staré Město, including limited editions available through its showroom. Žižkov's Bohemian Retro Vintage sells vintage clothing and accessories, drawing much of its stock from the former Czechoslovakia. Charaktery Design Store combines a Letná showroom with a workshop, offering care advice and repairs for pieces made by its designer founders.
BackYard combines a design showroom with jewellery workshops at U Obecního dvora in Prague. Its shared space brings together clothing and accessories with home objects by contemporary designers. The designers take turns serving customers and can explain how a piece was made and how to care for it.
Best for Designer-led shopping for jewellery, clothing and home objects
BackYard's showroom at U Obecního dvora 2 combines a place to buy design with spaces where work is made and discussed. Jewellery workshops sit within the shared premises, which also host collection presentations and conversations with designers. The people behind the collections take turns looking after the shop, so a visit can include questions about making and materials as well as choosing an object.
The selection extends from clothing to jewellery and leather accessories. Its jewellery makers work with materials including silver and gold, but also brass and porcelain. For the home, the assortment includes cups and bowls. Vases and other porcelain pieces offer another way into the designers' work.
BackYard also accepts enquiries for wedding clothing and rings. These are separate from simply choosing an item from the showroom, and shoppers should discuss their needs with the relevant designer. The shop publishes a staff rota online, useful for anyone hoping to speak to a particular participant rather than leaving that meeting to chance.

Bohemian Retro is run by Rebecca Eastwood, a British-born textile designer who has lived in Prague since the early 1990s and studied textile design in the UK to postgraduate level. She opened the shop in Žižkov, one of Prague's traditionally working-class districts now known for its bars, galleries and independent stores, building a stock of clothing, accessories, jewelry, bags, shoes and collectibles spanning roughly the 1920s through the 1980s. A significant share of the merchandise is sourced from the former Czechoslovakia, giving the shop a distinctly Central European character rather than the more generic Western vintage stock common elsewhere in the city. Eastwood has spoken publicly about the growth of vintage clothing as a retail category in the Czech Republic, describing how local interest in secondhand and period clothing has expanded since the shop's early years. The store operates on a limited weekly schedule, open Wednesday through Saturday, and Eastwood is known for offering hands-on styling help to customers browsing the racks rather than running the shop as a simple walk-in retailer. The result is a small, personally curated vintage destination shaped by one owner's decades of residence in the city and professional background in textiles, rather than a chain or a reseller operating at scale.
Book Therapy selects illustrated books and reading material for its Vinohrady boutique in Prague and online shop. Its catalogue covers design and architecture as well as photography and fashion. Shoppers can browse the selection online before visiting the shop at Římská 35 or arranging collection there.

Book Therapy is explicit that it is not a bookshop. It calls itself a place for choosing books that make sense, as a gift, as a gesture, as your offline therapy, and that distinction shapes everything reaching the shelves.
It does not sell thousands of titles. Each one is chosen on content, on visual quality and on whether it will still hold up in a decade. The shop works with publishers including Assouline, Taschen and Phaidon, houses it credits with defining contemporary visual culture.
There is no attempt to compete on catalogue breadth or on bestseller charts, because the shop was founded as an alternative to the mass bookseller. Its own line on this is blunt: we do not sell everything, it says, we sell only what we stand behind.
For a lot of customers that makes it the safe place to choose a gift. Two boutiques let the physical quality of a book be judged in person, and they are meant to be used alongside the online shop rather than instead of it.
A workshop and showroom making backpacks, bags, clothing, and related urban equipment in its Holešovice factory.

Braasi Industry began as a side project of two architects, Eliška and Šimon, who met while studying at the Technical University in Liberec. Working alongside their own architecture practice, the pair started making backpacks for themselves and friends in their spare time, drawing on a shared interest in the functional, stripped-back gear used by 1980s-era climbers. As demand grew beyond their immediate circle, the side project developed into a standalone brand, now based in a workshop in Prague's Holešovice district, where design and production are carried out together rather than split across separate facilities. The pair's architectural training shows in the resulting products: a self-described "less is more" design language applied to backpacks, bags and urban clothing, built from materials chosen for durability and weather resistance, including cotton, Italian cowhide, and military-grade, waterproof Cordura fabric. Rather than chasing seasonal trends, Braasi's catalog stays close to a small set of core silhouettes refined over time, and the company has since expanded from bags into city bicycles designed with the same minimalist, function-first approach. The Holešovice workshop remains open for personal collection of orders, keeping the brand's retail identity tied directly to the place where its products are made.
Charaktery Design Store in Prague brings together jewellery and textiles made by designers associated with the shop. Its makers include Nastassia Aleinikava and Karla Jewellery Studio, while other ranges cover cosmetics and fragrance. The space also functions as a workshop and meeting place, creating opportunities for direct contact with designers.
Best for Designer jewellery and textiles in Prague’s Letná
Charaktery Design Store brings a group of designers together in Prague's Letná, combining a shop with working and meeting space. Its jewellery includes pieces by Nastassia Aleinikava and Karla Jewellery Studio, alongside textiles from Thee and other product ranges. The named makers give the assortment a more specific identity than a general collection of Czech souvenirs.
Cosmetics and niche fragrance extend the range beyond objects worn as clothing or jewellery. The current website names Malinna and GOM among those ranges, while Utilité contributes product design. Each brand has its own product range and production methods, which can be discussed when choosing an item.
The space's workshop role makes contact with designers part of its purpose as well as selling their work. Someone looking for jewellery can therefore begin with the maker and the particular piece, rather than an assumption about a shared technique. The same approach applies to a textile purchase, where the object and its construction matter more than a broad national label.
A Czech design store selling work by local illustrators, graphic designers, fashion and jewelry designers, potters, and industrial designers.

CZECHDESIGN Shop operates from Myslíkova 5 in Prague's Nové Město district (postal code 110 00, administratively Praha 1), as the retail arm of the CZECHDESIGN organization, which promotes and curates contemporary Czech design. The shop's stock follows a single premise: everything sold is made by a Czech designer, spanning jewelry — including engagement and wedding rings — alongside backpacks and handbags, fashion accessories, glassware and porcelain, toys, books, paper goods and natural cosmetics. Among the names represented, per the city's own tourism-board listing for the shop, are Rony Plesl and Maxim Velčovský, both internationally recognized figures in contemporary Czech glass design, alongside product and furniture designer Jiří Pelc. The shop presents itself less as a souvenir stop than as a working showcase of the country's current design scene, aimed at visiting tourists and domestic design enthusiasts alike who are looking for pieces by named makers rather than mass-produced Czech-glass tourist stock. It keeps regular retail hours seven days a week — later into the evening on weekdays than on weekends — reflecting a customer base split between locals and visitors.
Deelive is one of Central Europe's largest dedicated Czech design stores, carrying more than 3,000 products made in the Czech Republic — contemporary glass, porcelain and ceramics, furniture and lighting, jewelry, fashion and accessories, and art photography, graphics and books.

Deelive is one of Central Europe's largest dedicated Czech design stores, carrying more than 3,000 products made in the Czech Republic — contemporary glass, porcelain and ceramics, furniture and lighting, jewelry, fashion and accessories, and art photography, graphics and books. The store's stated focus is 'the best of the local design scene,' spanning newly launched work alongside recognized icons of Czech design, and it develops its own branded product lines in cooperation with established Czech designers, with an emphasis on workmanship and finishing detail. The Prague flagship sits in Staré Město, positioned deliberately in the historic core near the National Theatre and Charles Bridge, and the space is conceived as more than a shop floor — a meeting point where visitors can learn about individual designers' work and craft directly. Deelive operates a second Prague location and an additional store in Brno, extending the same curated-Czech-design model beyond the capital. For a browser drawn to Bohemian glassmaking and contemporary Central European design objects rather than mass-market souvenirs, it functions as a single, reliable point of entry into the current Czech design scene.

Manufaktura is a Czech cosmetics brand whose roots lie in a Prague shop selling local crafts and wooden toys. Its later development into soaps and body care retained an interest in regional ingredients and giftable products. The brand operates several Prague shops, with parts of its traditional craft range remaining distinct from the cosmetics collection.

Manufaktura is a cosmetics brand that organises everyday care through product type and ingredient-led collections. Facial care includes serums and creams as well as lip balms and masks. Body products range from soaps and bath salts to shower care. Shampoos and conditioners form a separate hair programme. The named collections keep their Czech-language titles. Pivní kosmetika carries a beer reference, while Růže & Vřídelní sůl names a separate rose-and-spring-salt collection. Vinná kosmetika provides another food-derived line, and the limited Dýně edition brings pumpkin into the seasonal programme. The company also states that it does not test on animals. These facts make Manufaktura more than a general bath-and-body shop. Familiar materials become organising themes for modern cosmetic formats, allowing one ingredient story to move across several forms. The merchant's identity rests on that translation: local cultural references, named ingredient families, and a cruelty-free position applied across skin and body care as well as hair care.
A designer-run boutique selling clothing, jewelry, footwear, handbags, eyewear, and home design. The shop represents eight Czech designers and one Hungarian brand, with a designer present in the boutique each day.
First-floor shop inside the SmetanaQ art and design centre on Prague's Vltava riverside, near the National Theatre, stocking fashion, footwear and jewelry made by Czech studios -- including Fernando Echeverria footwear and Jany Rollo and KRAS leather accessories.
Best for Fashion accessories, jewelry, and footwear by young designers
SmetanaQ is an art and design centre in a historic building on Prague's Vltava riverfront, close to the National Theatre and the Café Slavia, that combines a gallery, a shop and a café under one roof. Its first-floor Showroom is dedicated specifically to fashion accessories, jewelry and footwear made directly by Czech designers and studios, rather than imported or mass-produced goods. Featured names include the footwear and accessory designer Fernando Echeverria, along with handbag and jewelry makers Jany Rollo, and KRAS, known for city backpacks and leather handbags. Because the pieces come straight from local studios, the Showroom presents visitors with the possibility of meeting the designers themselves, getting advice on individual pieces and finding items not widely available elsewhere. The wider SmetanaQ building functions as a hub for contemporary Czech design more broadly, positioning the Showroom as a retail counterpart to the gallery program upstairs. It sits within Prague's broader design-shopping circuit alongside stores such as Deelive, which similarly champions Czech-made design across furnishings, jewelry, fashion and other categories.
Run by Union Film inside Prague's Kino Svetozor on Vodickova street, Terry Posters sells original and reprinted Czech film posters alongside DVDs, books, music, and clothing both in person and online. The shop, open weekday afternoons, also buys vintage film posters from collectors through its in-house curator.
