Bellina Collection is a line of exquisitely handcrafted home accessories created from the original paintings of Artist/Designer Noella Costabile. In 1994 Noella started painting trinket boxes, trays, trunks and picture frames as a hobby. She sold these items at the local craft fairs, which eventually lead to the items becoming popular with local patrons.

Eventually, various gift and craft shops became interested in Noella’s work, the almost unexpected overvelming demand led her to find a more efficient means of producing to make the products more available.

Noella took the decision to print her artwork and use these high quality prints to affix to various products so that finally the products with these beautiful designs with a unique Caribbean flavor were made available in the market.

Bellina expanded the distribution to many of the gift & craft shops and hotel across the island. In 1998 Bellina Collection attended for the first time an international trade show staged in Barbados, with the result of establishing several new customers around the Caribbean islands.

She created colorful designs of fruits, flowers, tropical fish and Caribbean scenery inspired by her Jamaican heritage and travel experiences. In order to capture all the life and colors of Noella’s handpainting, the artwork gets reproduced in high resolution prints by a local professional printer.

Using these prints local craftsmen carefully handcraft trays, placemats, coasters, trinket boxes and canisters using available materials such as hardwood and bamboo. Special care is taken in finishing the products to make them waterproof and heat-resistant for the everyday use of moist and medium –hot utensils.

From the beginning Noella wanted to use her talent to create a line of craft products that not only captured the vibrant colors, motifs and flavors of the Caribbean but also make functional decorations for the home.

Whether you are just visiting the Caribbean and you want to bring back some of the colors and feelings with you or simply because you like beautiful things, Bellina Collection products creates beautiful and useful gifts for all occasions: For those you care about or perhaps to treat yourself, the designs and quality of the products bring a “Caribbean Vibes” in any home anywhere.
