 Twice before, I have witnessed the ultimate of luxury shopping;  the first time on Rodeo Drive in Los Angelos and the second time at the Queen Victoria Building, in Sydney Australia. Now we are in the old town of Prague.  In the 1950’s the Jewish Ghetto was leveled

and now ultimate high-end shopping has taken its place..

Inside each shop door, a handsome, thirties-something man dressed in an impeccable black suit with a pristine white shirt stands, ready to open that door, ready to smile and welcome you to tranquil perfection. The sales clerks, at the back of the store are gorgeous young women perfectly coiffed and dressed in fitted black jackets and short skirts.  Their long beautiful legs stand comfortably in black stilettos. Their jewelry is understated, gold or pearls.  All the attention is on the “product”  by Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Tiffany, Prada, or Gucci.  Handbags might be sparkly clutches that shimmer and shine or large, subdued carry-alls. All zipper pulls or fastenings have the understated but recognizable logo.  Something for every occasion as long as you are rich.
