Hi Joepie When I was there eight years ago for my daughter's wedding the only lace I saw was the garter I'd made for her. Although the tourist areas were affluent enough and the hotels well stocked with food there were shortages of just about everything. ie the hotel's hairdresser didn't have any hairspray, we had to provide our own!
True, we only saw Varedero and went through Havanna for the transfers from and to the airport, but I don't think there is a tradition of lacemaking there. I don't know how much it has changed since 2003.
