Cuban recipes, family, heritage, and culture.

Hats Off to Your Cubanity!

By

My friends at Habana Brand Clothing are always coming up with new and wonderful ways for us Cubans – and Lovers of All Things Cuban – to express ourselves and the pride we feel over our culture.

I often say to my kids, “We need to show off our Cubanity!” (<–I know it’s not a word, but it should be.) 

They love the many options that Habana Brand provides for them to do just that.

As they so eloquently explain on their site, “Habana Brand Clothing is about music, food, dance, attitude and culture.  It’s all about loving who you are and how you feel.” 

I’ve known Roly and Lucy for years and am always delighted when they come up with a new design. Very recently, they designed the coolest hats. They have a grunge/vintage vibe that’s been irresistible to my family. One says Cuba and comes in a variety of colors. My favorite is the red, but that’s not important right now.

They also have a beautiful Salsera hat, which had my girls fighting over who was the most Salsera between them. (It’s a toss up.)

In fact, they loved these hats so much, they made this quick video. Watch. And love. 

The song in the video. “Yo Volvere” is an original from our friend, Rolando Vega and used by permission.

Today’s giveaway is sponsored by our dear friends at Habana Brand Clothing. 

Two lucky readers will each win one Habana Brand cap of their choice, in the color of their choice.

    I love everything about these CUBA hats (I especially love the blue one shown on the website). The vintage design of these hats are in a way a represention of Cuba. To me it speaks of the ever lasting nostalgia of a country and island that has been stuck in time, but forever in our hearts. Que rico tener uno y usarlo con mucho urgullo!
    Thank you, Marta for putting your little grain of “Cubanity” in our hearts! We should never forget where we come from. Gracias!
