What Dador is known for
Dador is a Cuban fashion and lifestyle brand based in Havana Vieja, producing ethically made, often made-to-order clothing. Its retail store on Calle Amargura also supports professional training and secure jobs for Cuban women.
Dador runs both an online shop and a walk-in retail store in Havana Vieja, at Calle Amargura #253 between Habana and Compostela, open daily from 11am to 6pm. The Cuban brand describes itself as a responsible fashion and lifestyle label built around local development and female empowerment, framing its business explicitly around providing secure jobs, professional training and a support network for entrepreneurial Cuban women rather than treating "Made in Cuba" as a marketing label alone. Its collections run through dresses, jumpsuits, pants, shirtdresses, shirts, skirts, tops and accessories, with recent releases built around 100% linen pieces in its Malecón collection. Beyond ready-to-wear sizing, Dador offers made-to-measure tailoring: customers can visit the Havana store for an in-person fitting, or submit their own measurements online following the brand's detailed self-measurement guide for made-to-order pieces. The brand also publishes lifestyle content tied to its collections - travel journals from Cuba, notes on its design process - through a blog integrated into its site. For visitors to Havana Vieja, Dador functions as both a retail stop and a walk-in tailoring service, with staff taking measurements on-site for custom orders rather than requiring garments to be shipped back and forth.
