Have you ever wanted to take your home based business and turn it into a profitable and growing business? Michelle Buelow will be sharing her story and lessons learned on how she put a twist on traditional baby items to create a fast-growing line of fancy, fresh and fun children's accessories. Four years ago she was a stay at home mom looking to fulfill creative voids and hoping to work with drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. With a little time on her hands and an unyielding commitment to philanthropy, a product line was launched in July of 2005.
Michelle began ‘raising' her company, Bella Tunno....using many of the same principles she used to raise her children - love unconditionally, communicate creatively, set expectations, realize your own limitations, grow with them, and lastly, raise them with morals and values. Bella Tunno is now sold in over 4,000 boutiques and nationally at retailers like Baby Gap and Nordstrom.
ABOUT BELLA TUNNO
Founded in 2005, Bella Tunno is a fashionably functional and philanthropic baby and children's accessory line. Proving that fashion, function and philanthropy can co-exist; Bella Tunno has created highly coveted designs for trendy tots and charity-conscious moms. With benevolence at the core of their brand, Bella Tunno donates a portion of all proceeds to drug-rehabilitation related organizations in memory of Matt Tunno, founder's Michelle Tunno Buelow's late brother. Trend-setting tots can now flaunt funky and fun baby basics - including bibs, burp cloths, diaper changing pads, binkers, play smocks, headscarfs and designer diners - while parents can feel good about purchasing items that contribute to a larger cause. Bella Tunno products can be found in BabyGap, Nordstrom, and more than 4,000 upscale boutiques and department stores internationally, as well as online at http://www.bellatunno.com/.
The fashion-forward tot accessory line has been included in the Oscar Gift Baskets, Golden Globe Awards baby gift bags and the MTV Style Lounge. Bella Tunno has been featured in People Magazines Holiday Gift Guide (2008), The TVGN Gifts and Gadgets Segment, Everyday with Rachael Ray, ABC, NBC, Fox, Parenting, Kids Today, Gifts and Decorative Accessories, Daily Candy, American Baby, babytalk, Pregnancy Magazine, and Earnshaw's.
The line of fancy, fresh and fun ‘NECCESSITIES' has generated a celebrity following including: Courteney Cox & Baby Coco; Nicole Richie, Joel Madden & Baby Harlow; Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani, Kingston & Zuma; Elisabeth Hasselback, Grace & Taylor; Spice Girl Mel B & Baby Angel Murphy Brown; Marcia Cross & Babies Eden & Savannah; Adam & Jackie Sandler; Dustin & Lisa Hoffman; Robert Downey Jr.; Nancy O'Dell & Baby Ashby
