there is "Фешенебельный район" instead of "Fashionable district " in my shop

Fashionable district is a totally wrong term. May be "Down town".

p.s. Hire someone native speaking!!!

Workin' on it!

Fashionable district: agree with you. How about "prestigious district"? lol It is surprised

"prestigious district" is suitable, but looks like such a phrase is not used as a common name.

For example...
The hotel lies in the centre of one of the most prestigious districts of Paris, near the Avenue Kléber business centre. Its spacious and comfortable lounge will be your haven of peace after a busy day in the capital.

Another examples showing also, that it is normally used only as adjective: "one of p. d.", "the most p.d"...

"prestigious district" shows only 12700 links in Google. I don't like it : )

If you want logically correct term, "Downtown" or "City" are the most suitable. There are the most expensive shops. This district has also small amount of residents. Most rich people (at least in Germany) prefer living in "villages" or small towns near the city.

I see, but as far as I know, "Downtown" is a central business district.
What I need is a name for fashionable, expensive, comfortable, luxurious residential area.
And I'm not sure that "Downtown" expresses this point.
Correct me if I'm wrong So-so

Yes, you're right. Downtown is a central business district. The concentration of rich people and tourists : ) That's why all expensive boutiques can be found here. Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Brightling. You'll find no big food shops in Downtown. For example Champs-Élysées in Paris.
Then large city area (big circle, inside MKAD or Periferique : ). A lot of residents, large stores with "normal" cloth, food and very small shops for tobacco, bread or smth. strange, like design studios.
Then poor quartals - cheap and relative big shops like Lidl, Aldi, Netto, depends on area.
The expensive residental areas are separated. Often they situating even not in the city. They have normally only the necessery business - food, some cloth, and drug stores. The goods, that must be bought here and now. The rest shopping occurs in the city. Simply more assortment.

In the US in most cities downtown has nothing to do with fashionable district! Usually such district is outside of the city. I'd suggest using "luxury" instead Well

Isn't "spicy cheese" better?

"spicy cheese" = hot cheese
"spiced cheese" = type of dish you make yourself putting spices on a cheese
"spice cheese" = ready to use product, cheese with spices in it

Remember "spice girls"? They are not "spiced girls" I roll!
