One day about two years ago I was looking to spread a little love so I made a t-shirt with one of my favorite words on it; BESOS. I’ve since worn that shirt with pride everywhere from the market to the airport. I love the smiles people give me when I walk through the terminal, with my big teeth glaring at the world in all my KISSES glory.
You can find everything in our holiday store from coffee mugs to beach towels and of course, our beloved t-shirts.
Fast foward to 2022 and I made another t-shirt. This time in anticipation of hanging out with my friends Mari and Yoel last June. Yoel and I are both bald and of course, very handsome (our mothers say so). So, naturally we needed a t-shirt to let the world know that.
Thus, CALVO y GUAPO was born.
Over the past six-months many of you have asked us where to get these t-shirts. We’re not necessarily in the t-shirt business so for a limited time, we created a holiday store. You can go here to get all the besos you want this holiday season. And, claro, we hope you want to give a lot of them this year. There’s more though; we went way overboard. You can find everything in our holiday store from coffee mugs to beach towels and of course, our beloved t-shirts.
On behalf of all of us at Startup Cuba I want to wish you a very happy holiday season filled with lots of love, happiness and besos with the calvo y guapos in your life.
