We recently connected with Claudi Bella and have shared our conversation below.

Claudi, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Alright, so we’d love to hear about how you got your first client or customer. What’s the story?

This is one of my absolute favorite moments as an entrepreneur! After hours/days of making sure the website, Instagram, & everything else is perfect for shoppers I was so anxious to ship out my first order.

After the marketing roll out I noticed my model was not only a great look for my brand but she also influenced many well known beauty influencers on social media with her fashion and style.

I did not expect this talent’s posts to create a clientele for me but I was very grateful once I noticed it built a community for my business.

After her post in Bebesitas Bikinis I began receiving orders and my very first order was from Amanda Diaz, an Internet personality known for her beauty and lifestyle content. She began her influencing career at just 14 years of age before becoming a YouTube sensation.

Once Amanda Diaz received her order she immediately posted on TikTok, YouTube, & Instagram. Not only did I get amazing content but my friends began to notice she was wearing my designs. At this time I had no idea who Amanda was but all my close friends had been following her for years and were so excited for me.. that’s when I realized I’ve got a real business plan here.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Bebesita Club Is a lifestyle brand for women that love fashion & travel.

I created Bebesitas Bikinis Collection during the pandemic in 2020.
I was working as a celebrity fashion stylist, although the store was closed due to COVID Laws … I decided to take advantage of the time I had and applied everything I learned about fashion by creating a website to begin selling my own clothing just for fun!

I realized influencers were posting more than ever and were still in need for new outfits for their content & the entire world was only shopping online..

I love working with fabrics and helping people create a fun look for memorable travels, so I began to sale beachwear.

When there are opportunities for pop ups in music festivals or events I usually take the time to do a show room where festival goers can come vibe with the bebesitas and shop get their hair and makeup done! We offer shopping and glam services at festivals and are always open to becoming a vendor if the atmosphere fits our goals!

Many creatives/celebrities around the city began to ask me to style on set for music videos and photoshoots,
So I began to offer styling services with my products.

I have also received many requests from creators and well known celebrities to cast my brand ambassadors for videos or photoshoots.. this has helped me expand my brand and provide other services not only shopping & styling.

I definitely plan on expanding into a casting agency to make it easier for clients to book Bebesita’s Talent… but that’s coming soon 🤫

I’m so proud of how far the brand has gone world wide. I did not expect to be shipping orders Overseas or across the country. Passion is energy feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you!

Okay – so how did you figure out the manufacturing part? Did you have prior experience?

As far as manufacturing products there’s plenty of options, you can manufacture yourself or find the perfect one or multiple ones that fit your businesses’ needs.

I found my manufacture through an Instagram add.. from wealthy college kid by christiannahurt she posted an add about finding vendors for clothing, lashes, & hair. It was only
About $50 and I thought we’ll what do I have to loose?

I tried it out and with that subscription I had access to about 50 vendors.

She provided a scrolling on how to speak with them and request samples..

I began to message each one via WhatsApp and requested a Catalog, videos, and photos of their products. Once I found the perfect vendor I placed an order and the rest was history I built a great relationship with them and still to this day I order from them .. you don’t have to limit yourself to just one vendor there’s always another one that might provide something else your other vendor might not offer.

A lesson I learned is not to order in bulk until you have tried the sample first. Order samples first, post your product, then once you see which product is the best seller order that item in bulk it will save you money and make you more money ☺️

Can you talk to us about how your side-hustle turned into something more.

My side hustle turned into my main hustle and I’m extremely grateful after several years of dreaming and working on becoming a women in business.

I was working full time as a fashion stylist and once I had free time after I would work on creating something I could call my own .. and this was just a fun craft I never expected to make a living off my online store or even to provide jobs for other women…

Networking played a big role also never doubt who you will meet and how you can create and work together weather it’s through collaboration or investing or even just learning.

A key milestone was when I created a bikini print and some of my favorite influencers or even fashion designers and icons were wearing my brand that’s when I realized I had talent and can really make it in the fashion business through e-commerce.
