Where can I get the Jeans I have seen in Havana?

While in Havana, I went into a store and saw some very cool jeans, I don't know if they were made in Cuba, but I would like to try and find them online somewhere, the jeans were all 45$ in the store. The reason I didn't get to purchase the jeans was because they did not take visa. Any help as to the name of the store or the jeans they sold would be much apreciated. I slightly recall the Jeans name being something like Denvyr, or Denvir, something like that. I have looked online and can't find anything.

Probably you will not find these jeans or other Cuban clothing online. Cuba has no clothing industry.
All shops in Cuba are managed by the Cuban authorities and they buy the clothing wholesale direct from foreign factories. Most of this clothing is purchased in other Communist countries like China or Vietnam. The Cubans purchase what's availabe on the market at a price they can afford, and there is no guarantee for quality or supply, there are often out of stock problems. Most clothing in the Cuban shops is cheap but the quality is less.

I'm afraid that you have to return to Cuba for your jeans and don't forget Cash is King in Cuba Credit cards (visa etc.) are only accepted in banks and major hotels if not issued or processed in the USA !!
Good Luck!
