Clandestina

Top choice in Habana Vieja


Cuba's first indie design store when it opened in 2015, Clandestina makes its own T-shirts, bags and accessories out of any old junk it can find, 99% of it Cuban. It's the most progressive and coolest thing around town right now, but it's also eco-conscious and deft at working in a tough economic climate.

You can see the artists at work on-site, and they often staff a little outlet at the Fábrica de Arte Cubano, too.
