With a rich Italian heritage, Ms. Merlo aspired to christen her enterprise with a name that exuded sophistication that celebrated her Italian roots. During her quest, she unearthed the Italian phrase "Sei Tu Bella," which, translated precisely, conveys the question "Are you beautiful?" This discovery struck a resonant chord. At Sei Tu Bella, should you ever find yourself questioning your own beauty, rest assured it is our solemn duty to ensure you feel nothing less than truly exquisite.

In addition to her professional pursuits, Merlo holds a deep appreciation for her leisure moments, which she dedicates to forging lasting memories with her family.
