Scope and Contents

Teal short sleeved t-shirt with white wording that reads, "99% Diseño Cubano," created by the Havana-based fashion line, Clandestina. The shirt was purchased in Florida International University's Wolfsonian Museum design store. Clandestina was founded by Idania Del Rio in 2015 and is Cuba's first clothing brand and the first one to sell internationally. All designs are from Cuba, but t-shirts are manufactured in Nicaragua, and screen-printed in Miami, Florida. Clandestina describes themselves: "We are pure Cuban design. Well, mostly pure. Like 99% pure."
