Canada | 2024 — Smiles Mobile Remittance Canada proudly shares the success story of Bella Maria, known as BELLA in Canada, a Filipina entrepreneur who turned challenges into triumphs. Her inspiring journey, marked by resilience and determination, reflects the true spirit of Filipino excellence abroad.

Bella’s Journey to Success

Bella’s story began in 2015 when she faced job loss and relied solely on her husband for support. In 2017, during a difficult time for her family, she began selling old bags and clothes on Facebook Marketplace to make ends meet.

That small step ignited her passion for the buy-and-sell business, which soon transitioned to the Poshmark App — marking the start of her entrepreneurial path.

Growing Through Challenges

In 2020, during the pandemic and while expecting a child, Bella once again faced unemployment. Refusing to give up, she returned to her passion and began live selling designer bags on Facebook. Her engaging personality and dedication attracted a loyal audience, with hundreds of thousands of followers tuning in to her live selling sessions and vlogs.

As her business grew, Bella formed partnerships with DHL and LBC, allowing her to ship her products both nationwide and internationally to individual customers and resellers.

Expanding Her Brand

Bella’s online store features an impressive lineup of authentic designer bags and accessories from brands such as Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Coach, Guess, and Tory Burch. To reach more customers, she also expanded her business to include Filipino delicacies like BBQ, Hotdogs, Siomai, Hopia Batangas, and Pastillas, catering to the cravings of Filipinos in Canada.

A New Milestone in 2024

In 2024, Bella reached another major milestone by franchising two branches of Macao Imperial Tea, one of the most recognized beverage brands in the world. This achievement highlights her business acumen, perseverance, and entrepreneurial spirit — an inspiration to fellow Filipinos pursuing success abroad.
