Hi, I’m Julie LoForti, owner of Bella Forte Boutique located in downtown Turlock, CA. Growing up in Turlock, downtown was like a second home. I spent many Thursday nights at the Moonlight Madness sales and modeled clothing for the Mercantile in the Turlock Journal. I’ve worked in retail since I was 19years old. I love fashion always dreamed of owning my own boutique. The opportunity to finally start my own business came just over 11years ago. Our family owned business has been located in the old Mercantile building in downtown Turlock where I once enjoyed playing in the clothing racks as a small child.

Bella Forte means a strong, beautiful girl. That’s how I want women to feel when they shop at our boutique. I sell clothing to help women feel confident and comfortable-whether you’re off to a business meeting, running your kids to soccer practice, or lounging at home. There’s nothing quite like being able to make connections and see customers in the store but I’m so very excited for you to have the convenience of shopping our items through this website!
