Welcome to the Village: Bella’s Bakes

One of our favourite things about Dope Soul Village is watching women start, grow and back themselves.

And today, we’re proud to welcome Bella’s Bakes to the DSV marketplace.

Because sometimes building a business doesn’t start with a big launch, a perfect plan or a full product range.

Sometimes it starts with flour, water… and the courage to begin.

Meet Bella’s Bakes

Bella has started her journey with DSV by sharing something simple, powerful and full of possibility — a 60g active sourdough starter.

This isn’t just an ingredient.
It’s the beginning of your own baking ritual.

Feed it at home.
Watch it grow.
Turn it into fresh, homemade sourdough, delicious bakes and that very specific kind of pride that only comes from saying:

“I made this.”

Why We Love It

Sourdough is slow living in a fast world.
It’s patience.
It’s nurturing.
It’s creating something real with your own hands.

And honestly? There’s something beautifully rebellious about choosing homemade over convenience.

Bella’s starter gives you everything you need to begin — just feed it, care for it and let the magic happen.

Women Backing Women

This is exactly what Dope Soul Village is about.

Women starting where they are.
Women sharing their skills, passions and ideas.
Women supporting each other’s businesses — one order, one share, one small win at a time.

Because every big business starts somewhere.

And we’re here for the beginning.

Welcome to the Village, Bella

We’re so excited to have you here, and we can’t wait to see your journey grow (along with a lot of very happy sourdough starters).

If you’ve been thinking about trying sourdough, this is your sign.

Support a woman-led business.
Start something new.
And fill your kitchen with the smell of fresh bread — which, honestly, might be the closest thing to therapy there is.
