The exclusive guayabera of the legendary Alejandro Robaina. The long-sleeve tradicional guayabera is made of Linen/Cotton in Havana Cuba. It is an authentic piece of the history of the Cuban fashion of more than two centuries.
Alejandro has skin like hurricanes, with wrinkles carved like
earthquakes full of guns, poems and tobacco leaves... Alejandro has depth in his eyes that shine for the sleepless nights of desired expectations,patience, impetus and vigour… Alejandro bows his head to put on the hat fashioned by a
craftsman’s hands; cigars smoked by the heart, the throat and
the nose, the fabric of the guayabera that becomes a shield,
a shell for the existence of memories, an ideal globe of new
signals...

GUAYABERA VEGAS ROBAINA
It is a way of transversal dressing in the frantic rhythm of modern life; it allows to move away from each day frenzy and to sharpen the senses by renewing the image between oneself and the world. The initial concept which led to the creation of the Vegas Robaina ‘Guayabera’ comes forth precisely from the desire for newly approaching to a cultural relation of nature and outdoor life, in the urban contour also, a space of congregation and of cultural exchange; a new pattern of ‘Guayabera’ has been planned with an inspiration for the traditional authentic, totally renovated in its ‘dressing condition’ and comfort.
A ‘Guayabera’ that was studied in order to favor the experience of interaction with the precise ‘habitat’, as a ‘loving’ and cultural act. They are ‘Guayaberas’ which stand out for its refined lines with high esthetic level, with lines and cuts that recall the ‘Guayaberas’ from the beginnings of a century, as the cuttings among architectonic landscapes. In order to respect the idea of a pattern of artisan manufacturing, the most modern and technological materials have been set apart, in favor of a selection of fabrics with evident woof of cloth and textures with irregular ‘blazings’, naturally originated by antique looms which we have wanted to keep without resorting to the typical forms of industrial elaboration, and which well differ from this our characteristic ‘hand made’ Guayaberas Vegas Robaina.
