Michole Bello’s journey in business has taken her across multiple industries, with roots in her family’s diverse ventures in the Philippines and Canada. Growing up in this entrepreneurial environment, she gained hands-on experience in marketing, negotiations, and understanding people; which helped her build meaningful relationships in global markets.

After graduating with a degree in Business Administration Major in Management from the University of Asia and the Pacific in the Philippines, Michole realized the importance of branching out beyond her family’s businesses so she partnered with a reputable real estate developer and launched Michole Bello Real Estate, a brand built on trust, integrity, and a genuine desire to improve her clients’ lives.

After a successful tenure with the property developer, Michole turned her passion into something even bigger with the launch of the MICHOLE brand. Drawing from her years of experience, she created a business that combines fashion with purpose. Inspired by her upbringing, MICHOLE offers luxurious handmade bags crafted by artisans whose skills have been passed down through generations. These bags aren’t just fashionable—they’re affordable alternatives to other brands, all while supporting jobs, empowering women and girls, and promoting sustainability through the use of natural materials.

With MICHOLE, Michole is driven by more than just business success. She’s passionate about making a difference in people’s lives, giving customers the chance to be part of something meaningful every time they choose one of her designs.
