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.
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.
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.
