About Bella Poppelina

Handmade • Unique • Beautiful

Bella Poppelina supplies beautiful, hand-crafted bespoke items for young and old. Bella Poppelina was named after the creator Annabell, who was affectionately called Poppelina by her mother as a child. Bella Poppelina began in early 2013 at the encouragement of friends and family who had been on the receiving end of her creativity in unique crocheted and sewn gifts.

The Bella Poppelina team consists of a dynamic duo – Annabell, the heart and founder of Bella Poppelina, and Judith, whom Annabell has personally taught to crochet.

It is this team that makes the vision & dream possible.

Due to the unfortunate events of the world wide pandemic and other unforeseen events, Bella Poppelina was brought to a halt and had to hit pause for a while. The 4 years in which Bella Poppelina was not operational, things felt uncertain, but Annabell never closed down the business as she knew the Bella Poppelina story was not finished yet. In 2024 Bella Poppelina got a new “lease on life” as the dream to continue and start creating was awakened again, and the opportunity for Annabell & Judith to work together became a reality once more.

Bella Poppelina has gone through many seasons and many changes throughout the years, but if there is one thing they have learnt, it is to keep the faith. Believe in the beauty of your dreams, don’t give up and trust in God’s timing.

Bella Poppelina is very serious about quality & attention to detail, and a lot of love & care (and hours…so many hours) goes into the crocheting, sewing and final touches of each and every item Bella Poppelina delivers. Each item meticulously finished by Annabell’s own two hands.

Everything we create here at Bella Poppelina is a Labour of LOVE!
