DLT

DLT -or "Leningrad Trade House" is one of the oldest department stores in Saint Petersburg. It has great history, so I just can't mention it! Before this building was constructed there was a hotel. Citizens called it "Volinskiy's rooms" by name of it's owner in 18th century. But in 1908 there was started new project - a super-modern department store was planned to be there. So December, 7th in 1909 department store opened his doors to first customers. After the revolution in 1918 it was restructurized to the "First State Department Store". And it got it's present name only in 1935! In the Soviet period DLT was selling goods for children. But by the end of the 20th century it became the most famous department store for the whole family. In 2005 it was bought by a big Russian retail company. It made a renovation and now DLT is the brunch of the TSUM - the main department store in Moscow.

So now it's department store with luxury goods. You can find the most popular world-wine-known brands like Saint Laurent, Tom Ford, Valentino, Hugo Boss, Versace, and even several popular Russian luxury brands!
