Vi Bella Holiday 2015
Merry Christmas from Vi Bella! When Vi Bella began in 2011, my desire and vision was to offer hope through employment for families living in extreme poverty in Haiti. Over the last few years the Lord has opened opportunities for expansion and additional ways for Vi Bella to serve the communities in which we operate. We now employ more than 30 artisans in four centers in Haiti, Mexico, and right here in the United States. I have been privileged to see the transformational power of the employment that Vi Bella offers. We are excited to offer these beautiful handcrafted pieces that tell a story of redemption and hope. Every purchase of our jewelry, ornaments, and home decor items support our artisans, their families, and their communities.
Thank you for being part of Vi Bella’s journey of hope. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
Julie Hulstein, Founder & CEO

My job gives me encouragement....now I have hope.” “
I’m proud I earn money to feed my daughter.”
“
OUR STORY OF HOPE AND REDEMPTION Vi Bella means “Beautiful Life,” and this is what we are creating by providing wellpaying jobs in safe, encouraging work environments. Many of our pieces are made from discarded plastic bottles, metal bottle caps, paper, and even oil drums. Thank you for choosing Vi Bella. We love offering handmade jewelry and home decor items that are beautiful and create HOPE in the communities in which our artisans live.
Vi Bella has helped me fulfill my dreams.” “
This is my first real job! I love learning new things!” “

PAPER BEADS
Our artisans in Mexico & Haiti specialize in these handmade beads. Newspaper and magazines are cut, rolled on wooden skewers, and then sealed to make beads in many shapes and sizes. They are then painted and finished in various ways to create beautiful designs. It takes a keen eye and a steady hand to transform discarded paper into beautiful beads that tell a story of redemption.

Did you Know? MAJOK SEEDS
Majok seeds are locally sourced in Haiti. These oval-shaped, cream and gray seeds resemble rustic pearls when strung together. They have a naturally occurring hole in the center where the plant grew through the seed, making them perfect for stringing together to make jewelry and threading on wire for our ornaments.
