Prague Shopping

  1. Bat'a

    For generations, schoolchildren the world over have known Bata shoes (called Bat'a in the original). However, the Czech corporation's Wenceslas Sq store is a slightly more fashionable experience, incorporating cool streetwear brands alongside its own over six retail floors. A great Czech success story, the family-run firm has been going since 1894, and this 1929 flagship store is considered a Functionalist architectural masterpiece.

  2. Helena Fejková Gallery

    Fejková's designer clothes will appeal more to mature women, but females of all ages will enjoy the slightly Victorian showroom. Up the stairs opposite Kavarna Lucerna you'll find old shop dummies set between movie lights across a creaky floor. Some of the jewellery is quite funky and affordable.

  3. Kebab

    The coolest streetwear boutique in Prague is notable for its stylish but humorous interior, courtesy of designer Maxim Velčoský (creator of the famous 'Pure' barcoded ceramic tumbler resembling disposable plastic cups). Quirkily customised animal trophies are joined by a shelving area resembling laundromat washing machines, saucy retro beach scenes adorn the curtains of the changing rooms and much more. Clothes by young Czech designers sit alongside brands from Spain, France, and the UK and US.

    French and other Continental readers, look away now; you'll be used to the delights this trendy young Gallic chain brings.
