Meet a Jane Eva Polynice
Posted on July 26, 2010 - Filed Under Meet a Jane, Merry Jane
Eva Polynice is co-founder of F.U.S.C.H.A., or Fashionably Unique Skincare, Clothes, Handbags & Accessories (www.bellepourlavie.com ). Born of the belief that fashion and art can collide, F.U.S.C.H.A. represents what happens when two individuals with a common goal combine their vision and realize a dream. Founded in 2006 by twin sisters, Eva and Yvette, F.U.S.C.H.A. features eye-catching details in rich, bold designs.
Eva recognized her entrepreneurial nature at a young age and honed it as an adult. “When I was a teen I was always selling handmade items to kids at school,” says Eva. “As an adult, I discovered a need for jewelry and accessories that have a more unique design versus the cookie cutter pieces sold at department stores. We describe our work at F.U.S.C.H.A. as, ‘High fashion meets punk princess for a unique and edgy style that laughs in the face of conformity.’ To inspire ourselves and to please our customers, we use a combination of alternative materials, stunning details, mixed media, and a touch of rocker/rockabilly edge – we think studs can be added to anything. We consider fashion as an expression, adding themes, exploring new ideas and twisting the latest trends to meet our own ideas. Our main goal is to create quality, moderately priced while still maintaining the same quality as a luxury brand.”
There are several rewards that Eva recognizes are attributable to owning her own business, including: “Seeing customers out and about wearing my designs, being my own boss, and allowing my creative spirit to be fulfilled.”
After taking the free Which Jane Are You? assessment at www.JaneOutoftheBox.com , Eva discovered that she is a Merry Jane. “I have the freedom to come and go as I please,” says Eva. “In the past I was a Tenacity Jane, but I’m not stressing myself about my business because I know when the time comes my business will grow and make more money.”
What is Eva’s biggest piece of advice for other Merry Janes? “Try to get some outside help and focus on the marketing part of the business.”
