Clandestina
If you’re familiar with Cuban fashion, then surely you’ve heard of Clandestina with its timeless looks. Among the brand’s signature items are its t-shirts and tank tops with popular Cuban phrases printed across, like “Se acabó el Drama” or the “Drama is over.” You’ll find such prints on socks, leggings, handbags, and more.
During his trip to Cuba alongside actress Ana de Armas in 2020, the Clandestina style caught the attention of actor Ben Affleck who bought and wore a couple of their brand t-shirts. So, if you wear Clandestina, you’ll look like a Hollywood star.
Located five blocks south of the Capitolio Nacional de Cuba, Clandestina awaits at 403 Calle Villegas, between Teniente Rey and Muralla street.
