About Bella's Tropical

Our Story

Born from a love of endless summer days and the vibrant energy of coastal living, Bella's Tropical emerged as South Florida's premier destination for women seeking to embrace their inner tropical goddess. Inspired by the sultry sophistication of Miami, the laid-back charm of the Keys, and the timeless allure of the Caribbean islands, we believe that paradise isn't just a destination—it's a state of mind that can be expressed through what you wear.

Meet Our Founder

Bella's Tropical is the passion project of Ruth Watson, whose career in fashion retail includes purchasing positions at iconic department stores Filene's and Lord & Taylor. With decades of experience curating collections for discerning shoppers, Ruth brings her keen eye for quality, style, and emerging trends to every piece she selects for Bella's Tropical. Her expertise in understanding what women want to wear—and how they want to feel—infuses every aspect of our boutique.
