Best for Hand-cut colored crystal glassware and jewelry at the Malá Strana shop
ARTĚL was founded in Prague in 1997 by the American entrepreneur Karen Feldman, who had arrived in the Czech Republic three years earlier to oversee production at a shampoo factory before redirecting her attention to the country's centuries-old glassmaking industry. The company built its identity on hand-engraved crystal, applying intricate, often whimsical motifs to traditional Bohemian glass forms using historic engraving techniques; by 2003 it had expanded into hand-painted decoration and colored glass. ARTĚL debuted its first collection at the New York International Gift Fair in 1998 and was profiled by The New York Times the same year. In 2002 the house collaborated with the American conceptual artist Sol LeWitt on a set of engraved tumblers, later acquired for the permanent collection of the Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. Subsequent commissions have come from Rolls-Royce (2004-05), Asprey (2010) and Giorgio Armani (2013), and the company has won a Tableware International Award of Excellence and a German Design Award. Condé Nast Traveler named ARTĚL among Prague's most iconic stores in 2014. The company, which marked its 25th anniversary in 2023, now operates three retail locations across Prague, with its principal Malá Strana shop remaining the anchor for its Czech-made crystal collections.
Nové Město, Prague
A Czech design store selling work by local illustrators, graphic designers, fashion and jewelry designers, potters, and industrial designers.
Best for Work by Czech illustrators, graphic 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.
Staré Město, Prague
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.
Best for Czech glass, lighting, and furniture near the National Theatre
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.
Osadní 35, Karlín, Prague
Křehký ("fragile" in Czech) is a Prague design gallery and shop representing contemporary Czech designers, with limited editions and one-off pieces in porcelain, glass, wood and furniture made in local workshops. Founded by Jana Zielinski and Jiří Macek, it has shown work by designers including Bořek Šípek, Maxim Velčovský and Jaime Hayón, and also runs the biennial Křehký Mikulov design festival.

Holešovice, Prague
A stationery shop selling Czech-designed paper goods, conceptual products, and gifts. It received Designblok Store of the Year 2011 and Czech Grand Design Store of the Year 2012.
Best for Czech-designed paper goods and conceptual gifts
Holešovice, Prague
A workshop and showroom making backpacks, bags, clothing, and related urban equipment in its Holešovice factory.
Best for Backpacks, bags, and urban clothing made 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.
Nové Město nad Metují / Prague
PRIM is the Czech watch brand that grew out of Chronotechna, founded in 1946. The first wristwatch prototypes were made in Nové Město nad Metují in 1954, with series production from 1957. For decades the name was split between two companies, until MPM Quality and Elton hodinářská were united under one owner in 2025. Official boutiques stand in Frýdek-Místek, Prague and Nové Město nad Metují.
Best for In-house Czech calibres and the Orlík legend.
PRIM is the Czech watch brand whose industrial history begins in 1946, when the Chronotechna company was founded in Liberec. Two years later it became a national enterprise based in Šternberk. The plan for a wristwatch dates from 1948. The first prototypes were made in 1954 at the plant in Nové Město nad Metují, inspired by the French LIP R 25 movement. They had 15 jewels and a self-compensating hairspring, and series production started in 1957. The first Czechoslovak wristwatches carried the name SPARTAK after a public competition. The PRIM name spread from alarm clocks and wall clocks to wristwatches over time. After 1989 Chronotechna was privatised. The brand ended up split between two independent producers, one in Frýdek-Místek and one in Nové Město nad Metují. That split led to years of legal disputes over the trademark. In spring 2025 the two rights holders, MPM Quality and Elton hodinářská, were brought together. The regional daily Deník reported on 6 June 2025 that Petr Hanko, owner of MPM Quality, had bought Elton hodinářská from the CSG group. The purchase ended the disputes and left PRIM with a single owner, with production in Nové Město to continue. Official boutiques operate in Frýdek-Místek at Příborská 1473, in Prague 1 and at Náchodská 2105 in Nové Město nad Metují. Each of the official boutiques also handles servicing of the watches for their owners.
Nový Jičín / Prague
Czech hatmaker founded 1799 in Nový Jičín by Jan Nepomuk Hückel; the name derives from 'TOvárny NA Klobouky' (hat factories). A European hat manufacturer, still producing felt hats and caps today.
Best for Czech felt hats and berets
Tonak's history begins in 1799, when Jan Nepomuk Hückel established a hat-making manufactory in Nový Jičín, a town in what is now the Moravian-Silesian region of the Czech Republic. The town already had an established hatters' guild by 1630, when its articles were confirmed by the local town council, giving Nový Jičín a headwear-making tradition that predated Hückel's factory by more than a century and provided a base of skilled local labor. The company name, TONAK, is an acronym of the Czech phrase 'TOvárny NA Klobouky' — 'factories for hats.' Over more than two centuries the company weathered changes in ownership and political systems, including nationalization during the socialist era, while continuing production through techniques such as wool- and fur-felt forming, blocking, and finishing. Today TONAK a.s. operates as a joint-stock company with production based in Nový Jičín and a second facility in Strakonice, and is counted among the oldest continuously operating hat manufacturers in Europe. The brand continues to produce felt hats, caps and other traditional headwear, having marked 220 years of production as documented by regional press in 2019, and remains closely tied to Nový Jičín's civic identity as a historic center of Central European hat-making.
Karlín, Prague
Tea Mountain has sold loose-leaf tea from its Karlín, Prague shop since 2008, tracing its roots to Himalayan Darjeeling. The catalog spans China, Japan, Taiwan, India and Nepal, alongside teaware and in-store tastings.
Best for Darjeeling, Chinese, Japanese and Taiwanese teas with tastings
Tea Mountain has operated since 2008 from a shop at Krizikova 488/115 in Prague's Karlin district, open weekdays from 11am to 8pm and also serving as a pickup point for online orders. The catalog is organized both by tea type -- white, green, semi-oxidized (oolong), black, pu-erh and herbal or fruit infusions -- and by origin, with a clear emphasis on Asian tea-producing countries: China, Japan, Taiwan, India and Nepal. The shop traces its own roots to Himalayan Darjeeling, describing those teas as foundational to how the business started, and it continues to bring in seasonal harvests such as fresh spring teas and Taiwanese oolongs as they come into season rather than running a static year-round list. Beyond loose-leaf tea, Tea Mountain sells teaware and brewing accessories and runs in-store tastings, giving customers a way to sample before committing to a particular origin or grade. Now in its second decade on the same Karlin address, the shop has kept a narrow specialist focus -- tea and the equipment to brew it -- rather than expanding into a broader cafe or gift-shop format, with the founding Darjeeling connection still framed as the throughline of its sourcing story.
Vinohrady, Prague
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.
Best for Design and illustrated books at a Vinohrady boutique
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.
Prague, Czech Republic
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.
Best for Czech cosmetics and gifts in Prague
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.
Letná, Prague
PageFive is a Prague bookshop and publisher specialising in visual culture, from art books to small-run printed work. Its shelves combine international publications with Czech books and magazines as well as prints and independently produced zines. The project also includes a risograph studio and MandlGallery, extending its publishing work into printing and exhibitions.
Best for Art books, zines and prints in Prague
PageFive works as both a Prague bookshop and a publisher, with visual culture running through its printed material. Art books share the range with magazines and zines, alongside prints that can be considered as objects in their own right. The stock combines international publications with Czech work, rather than treating local publishing as a separate souvenir category.
Its involvement in making books gives the project a role beyond stocking titles from other publishers. PageFive also operates a risograph studio and MandlGallery, connecting printing with a programme of exhibitions. Those activities provide context for the kinds of paper-based work sold through the shop.
For a visitor, the useful first choice is between a publication to read and a print to keep or display. A magazine or small-run zine offers a different format from a substantial art book, even when the subject overlaps. The range therefore rewards attention to the publication itself and the people making it. Particular titles change, but the relationship between bookselling and independent production remains the defining reason to consider this shop.

Wenceslas Square
Prague bookshop on Wenceslas Square (Vodickova street), run by Academia, the publishing house of the Czech Academy of Sciences; a two-level store with a cafe, strong on Czech history, art and architecture titles plus a foreign-language section.
Best for Czech scholarship and translated literature
Academia Bookshop trades from Wenceslas Square in Prague's New Town, at an address on Vodickova street just off the square. It operates under Academia, the publishing house of the Czech Academy of Sciences, headquartered at Vodickova 40 - meaning the shop is a retail outlet of an academic-institution publisher rather than an independent bookseller. Inside, it's a two-level shop known for a cafe built into the space. The selection leans toward Czech-interest subjects plus a notably strong English-language and foreign-language section.

Malá Strana, Prague
Artisème is a design store in a Baroque palace selling works by local artists and designers for the home. At Malá Strana, Prague, the range centers on Czech glass, studio ceramics and artist-made home objects.
Best for Czech glass, studio ceramics and artist-made home objects
Artisème occupies the former Sala Terrena -- literally the garden lounge -- of the Grand Priory Palace (Velkopřevorský palác) in Prague's Malá Strana, a complex with architectural roots reaching back to the twelfth century, standing immediately beside the city's well-known Lennon Wall. Within that historic shell the gallery operates as a showcase for contemporary Bohemian and Czech design: handmade objects, glassware and craft pieces selected by specialist curators who draw from both established names and emerging designers active in the current Czech design market. The juxtaposition is deliberate -- the gallery's own description frames the space as "an oasis of peace and beauty," setting new, hand-produced work against centuries-old stone vaulting rather than a conventional retail interior. Beyond regular sales, Artisème also programs small cultural events, including exhibitions and installations, positioning itself as much as a curatorial platform for Czech design as a shop. It is recognized by Prague City Tourism and by the Homo Faber craftsmanship guide as one of the city's notable venues for contemporary applied design, sitting within the same Malá Strana cluster of craft-focused addresses that has made the district a recognized center for Czech decorative arts.
Staré Město, Prague
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.

Žižkov, Prague
A vintage shop selling clothing, accessories, jewelry, bags, shoes, and collectibles, with much of its stock sourced from former Czechoslovakia.
Best for Vintage clothing, jewelry, bags, and collectibles sourced from former Czechoslovakia
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.

Prague specialist in Czech and Slovak classical, folk and jazz recordings, run from a shop at Loretanske namesti in Hradcany since February 1992, with an online store at cdmusic.cz added in 1996 shipping CDs, LPs, books and DVDs worldwide.
Best for Classical and czech
CD Music Shop is a family-run business based in Prague's Hradcany district, opposite the Loreta shrine. It opened as a brick-and-mortar shop in February 1992 and added an online store, cdmusic.cz, in 1996 - one of the earlier Czech retailers to sell recordings internationally over the web. The shop specialises in building out a near-complete catalogue of Czech, Moravian and Slovak folk and classical music, including some 1,600-plus Czech classical titles from composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Vivaldi, alongside jazz, pop, spoken-word audiobooks in Czech, film DVDs, books and sheet music. It is registered under proprietor Jana Orsulikova, trading as 'CDmusic.cz / Siroky dvur.' The physical shop keeps set hours and has been reviewed by visiting shoppers as a hard-to-find source for regional folk and classical recordings.
Letná, Prague
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.

Chleba a Máslo ("Bread and Butter") occupies a corner bakery in Prague's Letná district that had already been a neighborhood bakery once before: the site operated as a family bakery from 1920 until 1989, then sat closed through the decades that followed.
Best for A reopened 1920s Prague corner bakery running a Šumava grandmother's rye and roll recipes.
Chleba a Máslo ("Bread and Butter") occupies a corner bakery in Prague's Letná district that had already been a neighborhood bakery once before: the site operated as a family bakery from 1920 until 1989, then sat closed through the decades that followed. In 2018, new owners who had themselves grown up in Letná reopened it, explicitly framing the project as restoring the corner bakery to a neighborhood that had gone without one — not a new concept borrowing old atmosphere, but a real reoccupation of a real address with a documented working history.
The recipes are the other half of the continuity claim: the bakery states its rolls and cakes follow family recipes handed down from a grandmother in the Šumava region, the forested area along Czech Republic's border with Bavaria and Austria known for its own rustic baking traditions. Their bread and buttered rolls are described as having a distinctive soft, flavorful structure, alongside sourdough loaves, rye bread, French baguettes, and a gluten-free rice-flour bread baked daily — a range that covers both the traditional Czech table and the dietary needs of a modern city clientele.
Production runs continuously through the day, with the bakery pulling fresh cakes from the oven roughly every ten minutes so customers can buy them warm — a working rhythm the shop describes directly rather than as marketing gloss. Five years into the current ownership's run (as of the bakery's own account), it reads as a genuine, still-operating link between Prague's pre-war neighborhood bakery culture and its present one, rather than a themed recreation of either.
Old Town
Prague souvenir retailer with two Old Town shops (Melantrichova 17 and Jilska 12) plus a wholesale warehouse near the city, selling Czech-themed magnets, postcards, keychains and gifts.
Best for Prague gifts magnets postcards.
Suvenyry.com operates as a combined retail and wholesale souvenir seller specializing in Czech Republic-themed merchandise. It runs two physical storefronts in Prague's Old Town (Prague 1): one at Melantrichova 17, and another at Jilska 12. A third site, a sample room and warehouse outside the city, handles wholesale and promotional-product orders, with wholesale pricing available to registered business customers. The retail side sells the standard range of tourist souvenirs - keychains, caps, magnets, postcards - under the Czech Republic and Prague theme. The site notes that retail shipping is limited to destinations within the Czech Republic. No founding date or ownership history is published on the company's own site.
Prague / Czech Republic
Dobrá Čajovna's origin sits inside a specific piece of late-Communist Czechoslovakia: in the final years before 1989, a group of young tea drinkers began meeting to sample rare Indian, Chinese and Japanese teas smuggled into the country, at a time when foreign-currency shortages meant high-quality imported tea was effectively restricted to government and military elites.

Dobrá Čajovna's origin sits inside a specific piece of late-Communist Czechoslovakia: in the final years before 1989, a group of young tea drinkers began meeting to sample rare Indian, Chinese and Japanese teas smuggled into the country, at a time when foreign-currency shortages meant high-quality imported tea was effectively restricted to government and military elites. After the fall of communism, that group formalized in 1992 as the Society of Tea Devotees, and on June 1, 1993, co-founders Jiří Šimsa and Aleš Jurina opened the first Bohemian-style tearoom in Prague under the Dobrá Čajovna name — the country's first tearoom of its kind.
The concept was built around the tearoom as a gathering place, described in the company's own account as "a shelter, a place for safety, where like-minded individuals could gather and taste the world of tea," served by staff trained in the specific preparation each tea calls for.
From that single 1993 room, the concept has grown to two Prague locations and dozens more across Central and Eastern Europe, but the founding motive — teas once rationed to an elite, made openly available the moment that changed — is still what the name refers back to.

Doubleshot was founded in 2010 after its team split its preparation between two very different kinds of training: a year spent on coffee farms in Boquete, Panama, learning the growing and processing side directly at origin, and time training at Vancouver's 49th Parallel, absorbing roasting and quality-control practice from an established North American specialty roaster.

Doubleshot was founded in 2010 after its team split its preparation between two very different kinds of training: a year spent on coffee farms in Boquete, Panama, learning the growing and processing side directly at origin, and time training at Vancouver's 49th Parallel, absorbing roasting and quality-control practice from an established North American specialty roaster. That combination — origin-side farm experience plus an established roastery's technical training — fed directly into what Doubleshot became: the first roastery in the Czech Republic to run a direct-trade program.
The result of that program is concrete rather than aspirational: over 90 percent of Doubleshot's beans are sourced directly from known producers, a high proportion that reflects sustained sourcing relationships rather than an occasional direct-trade lot mixed into an otherwise broker-supplied catalogue.
For a Prague coffee scene entering the specialty category later than much of Western Europe, Doubleshot's founding story — a year on Panamanian farms before a single bean was roasted in Prague — explains why its direct-trade sourcing runs as deep as it does.

Founded in autumn 2017 by art directors Karolína and Teodorik, In August Company designs ceramic and wooden objects, with textiles, for everyday use, mostly handcrafted in small Czech workshops. Garments are made in Portugal and plywood trays in Sweden, stated openly. The showroom and studio is at Dr Zikmunda Wintra 791/17, Prague 6.
Best for Small-series Czech ceramics and wooden objects for everyday use
In August Company began in the autumn of 2017 as the creative project of Karolína and Teodorik. The two art directors had met that year on a project for a shared client. She brought illustration and hand-lettering with textiles, and he brought photography and web design. Together they moved from drawings and photographs to designing objects for everyday use. The products are predominantly handcrafted in small workshops in the Czech Republic, with a few exceptions the company names openly. T-shirts and sweatshirts are made in a factory in Portugal, and plywood trays are made in Sweden. Ceramics and wood share the range with textile pieces and paper goods, and the aim is objects for ordinary days rather than special occasions. Waste is handled with the same candour. Half of the bags are cut from dead stock canvas, clay from the ceramics process is recycled into new pieces, and packaging is reused cardboard and paper collected from printers. The studio and showroom at Dr. Zikmunda Wintra 791/17 in Prague 6 shows current objects. Visitors also see previews of the collections still to come.
Vinohrady
A Prague specialty-coffee roaster pouring its own beans since 2005 and serving as the city's exclusive Harney & Sons tea retailer, with two cafés — Sázavská's Parisian-style room and Na Švihance near Riegrovy sady — open daily.
Best for Specialty coffee roasted since 2005 alongside exclusive Harney & Sons tea
La Bohème Café has been roasting its own coffee in Prague since 2005, building a reputation as one of the city's early specialty-coffee roasters in a market long dominated by mass-market brands. The beans run across single-origin lots, espresso blends, filter roasts, decaf and organic options, sold whole or ground alongside grinders, kettles, French presses and scales for people brewing at home.
Tea sits alongside the coffee program: La Bohème is the exclusive Czech distributor for Harney & Sons, giving its shelves and menu a serious loose-leaf selection to go with the espresso. Two Prague cafés carry the name — a Parisian-styled room on Sázavská and a second location on Na Švihance, near Riegrovy sady park — both open daily from 8:30 to 20:00, pouring coffee and tea to drink in along with hot chocolate and pastries. The company also runs a wholesale side supplying hotels and offices, plus e-commerce shipping across several European countries.
For visitors, it's a dependable stop for a proper cup of either coffee or tea in a city where good tea culture is harder to find than good coffee, from a roaster with two decades behind the counter.

Perfumed Prague is a fragrance studio founded in 2016 by Ola Dworzycka and Borys Kudela. Visitors blend a personal perfume from hundreds of essences in a laboratory-like room at Karolina Svetlé 285/20 in the Old Town. The pair studied perfumery in Grasse. A second showroom in Letná, opened in 2021, carries the house's soy candles and interior perfumes as well as aroma diffusers.
Best for Custom-perfume workshops, house perfumes, soy candles, and aroma diffusers
Perfumed Prague was founded in 2016 by Ola Dworzycka and Borys Kudela as a fragrance studio where visitors compose their own perfume. The two left Warsaw for the Czech Republic and spent time in Grasse studying perfumery before opening in Prague. Their workshop at Karolina Svetlé 285/20 in the Old Town is set out like a laboratory. It is lined with pharmacy bottles of Czech glass holding hundreds of essences. Ola leads each session, guiding participants through the selection until a fragrance fits. Each finished bottle gets a name of the maker's choosing on its label. The studio also produces its own soy candles and interior perfumes under the Perfumed Prague name, along with aroma diffusers. In 2021 it opened a second showroom in Letná at Milady Horakove 51, given over to that range. A ready to wear perfume collection followed. Labels can be typed on a typewriter for gifts, and empty containers can be returned to the studio for refilling. The studio has also composed scents for the glassmaker Preciosa and for Villa Tugendhat.

Staré Město, Prague
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.
Neighbourhood walks
Area names come from each shop’s published address record; ORBIS does not invent neighbourhoods.
ORBIS city intelligence
Prague’s design heritage is endlessly reproduced, which makes authorship the first practical question. Glass, furniture, graphics, watches and museum editions may be original production, authorised reissue, restored vintage, open reproduction or decorative imitation; the city rewards the buyer who can name the difference.
The city’s strongest shopping begins by slowing that recognition down. Prague is genuinely good for Czech glass and crystal with named manufacture, twentieth-century design editions whose relationship to an original is stated, contemporary objects by identifiable studios, watches with a service path, paper and bags made for use, and books that connect decorative form to the political and industrial history that produced it.
Kubista, Qubus Design Studio and ARTĚL form a useful central comparison because their authority is not identical. Kubista specialises in Czech Cubism, Art Deco, originals and clearly described reproductions or design objects. Qubus is an independent contemporary design shop and studio with its own production. ARTĚL is a design house for hand-made Czech crystal. The buyer should preserve those distinctions rather than collapse them into “Bohemian design.”
Buy objects in which authorship, production and aftercare can be recorded. In glass, that means designer or house, manufacturer or workshop, glass composition, forming, cutting, engraving or painting, and the terms of replacement or shipping. In design editions, it means source object, rights holder, edition type and current producer. In watches, it means movement, assembly, warranty and service. In paper, bags and household goods, it means named maker, material and repair.
CZECHDESIGN SHOP broadens the field through a current multi-maker edit. de.elivé and Křehký Gallery Shop can extend the contemporary comparison when current access is confirmed. Papelote and Braasi Industry show how Prague design moves into ordinary use rather than remaining behind glass.
The weak purchase is a generic Czech silhouette with no accountable author. The city has enough living design that anonymity does not need to be rescued by a blue colour or a historical label.
Begin with terminology. “Crystal” is used differently across markets and is not a guarantee of lead content, handwork or Czech manufacture. Ask the seller to state the material used by the exact house, whether it is lead crystal or lead-free crystal glass, and which processes were performed by hand. Hand-blown, hand-cut, engraved, acid-polished, painted and gilded are separate operations.
At ARTĚL, the house describes its pieces as handmade Czech crystal, hand-blown, cut and painted according to the design. Ask which workshop made the exact collection, how variation should be read, whether the pattern is available for replacement and what can be repaired. The current Prague store at U Lužického semináře 7 is open daily, 10:00–18:00 according to its dedicated store page.
Inspect rim, foot, symmetry, clarity appropriate to the material, cut edges, painted decoration and stability. Small bubbles or variation may be evidence of hand process rather than defects, but cracks, sharp chips and unstable bases are practical problems. For sets, line up the pieces and decide what degree of variation is acceptable before shipping.
At Kubista, ask what the object is in legal and production terms. An original period object is not the same as a contemporary reproduction made from a historical design. A licensed edition may be authorised by a rights holder or institution. A replica aims at a defined historical model. A contemporary adaptation uses the language without claiming identity.
None of these categories is automatically inferior. The failure is imprecision. Keep the designer, original date, current producer, authorisation or source, material, edition status and care. If an item is numbered, ask the total edition and whether artist proofs, colour variants or later editions exist.
The foundational ORBIS guide Museum Edition vs Reproduction: How to Read the Label provides the deeper framework. Prague is an ideal city in which to apply it because twentieth-century form is both scholarly history and active commerce.
Qubus Design Studio at Rámová 3 is a direct contemporary proposition. The studio describes itself as the first independent Czech design shop and supports its own production handmade in Bohemia. Current store information should be checked before travel because seasonal hours can change; the shop’s published shipping information lists a Tuesday-to-Saturday pattern.
Identify who designed the exact object, whether it is made by Qubus or another represented designer, which workshop produced it, whether it is open or limited edition, and how replacement works. Contemporary wit and quotation should not obscure material and function.
At CZECHDESIGN SHOP, currently open daily with shorter weekend hours, use the multi-maker format to compare authors rather than searching for one national style. Prague’s strongest contemporary design is plural: glass, jewellery, stationery, fashion, toys, ceramics and household objects may share a city without sharing an aesthetic.
PRIM offers a meaningful Czech watch comparison when the exact model’s movement, assembly and service are explained. The brand traces Czech watchmaking history to 1949, but the present watch must stand on current specification. Ask whether the movement is Czech-made, modified, imported or sourced elsewhere; where casing and final assembly occur; and what the warranty and service intervals require.
The official Prague boutique is at Nekázanka 858/3, with standard opening Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00, Saturday, 10:00–18:00, and closure on Sunday and holidays. Current special-closure notices should be checked. Keep reference number, serial number, movement, case and crystal materials, water-resistance rating, warranty and service contact.
Do not use “Czech watch” as one undivided claim. Design, movement manufacture, component sourcing, assembly and service are separate contributions.
Papelote brings Czech design into notebooks, folders and paper systems. Its current official locations include Holešovice at Bubenské nábřeží 306 and a central shop at Spálená 96/27; older Milady Horákové addresses are out of date. Judge binding, paper, refillability, closure and how the object will be used rather than buying stationery as a graphic souvenir.
Braasi Industry designs and produces bags in Prague and operates a factory/showroom at Dělnická 67a, generally Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00. Test the bag with weight, ask about European materials, in-house production, cleaning and repair, and record hardware and model. A workshop visit should be confirmed before travel; a showroom is not a continuously open factory tour.
TONAK headwear and Rückl glass can extend the Czech production comparison when the current Prague door and exact item are verified. Tea Mountain and Book Therapy offer useful specialist alternatives where selection matters more than a national motif. Manufaktura should be judged product by product for maker, formulation and production rather than accepted as a blanket account of Czech craft.
Old Town provides the compact design walk: Kubista at the House at the Black Madonna, Qubus at Rámová 3 and CZECHDESIGN SHOP when the chosen branch fits. ARTĚL sits across the river in Malá Strana and deserves a separate glass-focused block, especially if a set or private engraving experience is under consideration.
Holešovice is the working-design afternoon: Braasi’s factory/showroom and Papelote’s Bubenské nábřeží shop can be connected by tram and purposeful walking. The PRIM boutique belongs to a service-led watch appointment in the New Town. Prague is compact, but the categories should not be flattened into one old-centre stroll.
For valuable glass, a period object or a significant watch, request an itemised invoice with maker, model, material, dimensions, serial or edition number and condition. Establish whether an export document, appraisal or separate certificate is supplied and what it actually certifies. A sales certificate is not automatically an independent valuation.
Photograph marks and condition before packing. Add the object to household insurance only with records that another person could understand without the Prague sales conversation.
The first is using “Bohemian crystal” as a complete material and origin statement. The second is treating every Cubist form as an authorised reproduction. The third is assuming a museum-adjacent shop confers museum status on every object. The fourth is buying fragile glass before transport and replacement have been discussed.
Another mistake is ignoring service. A numbered vase that cannot be replaced, a watch without a realistic service route, a bag whose coating cannot be repaired or a paper system without refills may be less useful than a simpler object supported by its maker.
Buy the author, the method and the service record. The city’s historical forms remain powerful, but the best purchase does not rely on silhouette alone. It can say who designed it, who made it, what process created it and how it will continue to live.
For a broader material comparison, continue to ORBIS Ceramics. Vienna offers another Central European design history, but Prague’s Cubist and Czech glass systems require their own vocabulary; see Vienna. Beijing’s craft retail operates through different institutions and should not be used as a generic “traditional craft” analogue; see Beijing.
Prague’s most convincing object has an authorised afterlife. Designer, producer, edition, restoration and current service should form a record stronger than resemblance alone.
Prague offers several different ways to buy design, from a notebook to a numbered porcelain piece. Decide first if you want something made in the Czech Republic, an object by a Czech designer, or a useful purchase found here. Those descriptions can overlap, but they are not interchangeable promises.
The shops below give you concrete comparisons rather than a single souvenir route. Pair the paper specialists if you want portable purchases, or give glass and jewellery their own attention. A book can be chosen quite quickly; an unfamiliar material deserves a conversation before you pay.
Papelote identifies itself as a Czech stationery brand and lists notebooks, sketchbooks and planners. Its own-design approach makes it a useful starting point when you want paper for everyday use. The catalogue includes undated as well as dated planning formats, so check which one suits the person using it 1.
For a notebook, look at the ruling and how comfortably the binding opens. If you use a particular pen, ask whether there is sample paper to test. A cover you enjoy is worth having, but paper that works with your writing habits matters more over time.
PageFive, at Veverkova 5, offers a different kind of paper shopping: books, prints and zines alongside magazines. Its catalogue gives illustration and visual publishing room of their own. Choose it when you want an image or publication rather than a blank object to fill yourself 2.
Check the language of a book before judging it from the cover. An illustrated title may work without fluent Czech, while an essay collection may not. For a print, note the sheet dimensions and check that you can carry it flat without damaging the corners.
Do not treat a print's edition details as an afterthought. Ask whether it is signed or numbered, and keep that information with the receipt. These questions help distinguish the object you are buying without assuming that every print has the same production history.
Qubus Design Studio works with glass and porcelain, describing production with regional craftspeople in local workshops. Its Rámová 3 shop presents designer objects and limited-edition collections. That gives you a place to consider contemporary Czech design through particular pieces rather than an anonymous national style 3.
Look at the maker's name and the purpose of the object. A sculptural vessel and a drinking glass ask different things of the same material. If you intend to use a piece every day, ask about its care rather than assuming display objects are dishwasher-safe.
Kubista, in the House at the Black Madonna at Ovocný trh 19, focuses on Cubism and Art Deco. Its selection includes ceramics and books as well as glass. The catalogue identifies a Vlastislav Hofman tea-and-coffee design as a replica offered in a numbered edition 4.
That distinction is useful when comparing historical forms. A newly made edition of an older design is not the same purchase as a period original. Ask for the production date and edition details if those distinctions matter to you, then judge the piece on those terms.
Qubus and Kubista need not compete for the same place in your bag. One can introduce you to contemporary makers; the other offers a way into a specific design movement. Choose according to the object you want to live with, not simply which label sounds more traditional.
Moser offers drinking sets and decanters alongside vases and bowls. Its website also presents monograms and engraving options, which are worth investigating for a personal gift. Check the arrangements for the particular piece before assuming that a customization can be completed during your visit 5.
Start by deciding if the glass will be displayed or regularly handled. For a drinking glass, consider its weight and how the rim feels. A large vase may look convincing in a showroom but need more carrying space than you intended to allocate.
Compare individual pieces in good light and ask about the maker's intended finish. Small differences do not, by themselves, establish either a defect or a special edition. Ask the seller to explain the piece in front of you rather than applying a general story about handmade glass.
For fragile purchases, establish how they will travel before paying. Ask what packing is available and measure the package against your luggage. If you choose delivery, obtain the relevant terms directly; this guide does not assume a particular shipping or insurance service.
Granát Turnov offers rings and earrings in both gold and silver. The cooperative states that its jewellery is produced entirely in the Czech Republic. Its own production claim is a useful point of comparison, not a guarantee covering every garnet item sold elsewhere in Prague 6.
Treat the material of the setting and the origin of the stone as separate questions. Ask the seller what documentation accompanies the exact piece you have chosen. Keep the answer with the receipt, especially if you are buying a gift and will not be there to explain it.
Try an item on if possible instead of relying only on how it sits in a cabinet. Check the fastening and the comfort of the setting. For a ring, discuss sizing before purchase rather than assuming adjustment will be quick or included in the price.
Balkanova, at Karoliny Světlé 321/23, sells wool blankets and kilims with an explicitly Balkan identity. The business describes itself as a direct importer, and its catalogue includes Bulgarian rose cosmetics. This is a useful counterexample to the idea that everything worth buying here must be presented as locally made 7.
For a blanket, compare the size and fibre composition with where you will use it. A dense textile for a sofa may not feel right against bare skin. Ask about care for the specific item rather than applying the washing instructions from another wool product.
Measure a space at home before committing to a rug. Photographs can help with colour comparisons, although lighting and screens can change how a shade appears. A purchase can be a good memory of Prague while still being honestly described by its actual origin.
Terry Posters places its Prague shop within the Světozor art cinema. Its catalogue includes film posters and an explicit reprints category. That makes the printing history of an individual sheet something to establish, rather than assuming every design is an original vintage poster 8.
Ask about the date of the printing and examine the condition of the paper. Creases may matter differently to someone collecting cinema ephemera and someone seeking an image for a wall. Decide which kind of purchase you are making before comparing prices between apparently similar designs.
Record the dimensions, including the margins, before planning a frame. Ask how the particular sheet should be packed for your journey home. Keep any information about the artist and printing together, so the design does not become an unattributed image once it is framed.
Paper and posters offer one coherent set of comparisons, but they are not all the same kind of object. A reader may prefer PageFive, a notebook user Papelote, and a film enthusiast Terry Posters. The useful route is the one that leaves time to examine what you actually want.
For a more substantial purchase, narrow the category before adding stops. Comparing contemporary porcelain with a Cubist edition can be rewarding without also trying to select jewellery. Keep product names with your notes so you can return to a specific piece instead of starting the search again.
