Today’s post will make us return to one of those corners of Havana that’s always been noisy and crowded and even in these times hasn’t lost its mood. If you were born in Havana then by seeing the photo you already know which place it is, since it was very famous and last year was linked to the activities related to the 500^th anniversary of the Cuban capital. Today I invite you to discover the history of Indochina starting from its logotype.

It is quite possible, when seeing this entrance's initial image, that the reader may know exactly where this logo is located. The name “Sin Rival” certainly may sound known to a lot of natives of Havana, mostly to all of those transiting around Monte Street, and it can be something famous even for the non natives of the capital city of the country. The thing is that these two words contain a powerful history, because if we’re talking about implements of seaming and cooking, there was no other rival for the Sin Rival Cutlery.
