Indie Bazaar 2 - Spotlight: Fancy French Cologne

(Photo by: JT Paradox)

Fancy French Cologne is owned and operated by two ladies not unlike yourself.

We are Christine Bolghand and Carly Schneider-Clark. We live in San Francisco, where we met in 2004 and formed an indie rock band called Finest Dearest. After several releases and countless tours across the United States, the band called it quits and we launched Fancy French Cologne as our newest venture together. During this time, we have come to discover that the similarities in running a business and being in a touring band are quite striking! You can read more about our process on our blog, which dates back to our first month as a business.

As Fancy French Cologne, we are committed to bringing you a unique perspective on the online shopping experience—one that conjures the intimacy of browsing your favorite local boutique. We’ve hand-selected every style you see in our shop, and are especially proud of our curated selection of handmade items, which we worked with our designers to customize just for you. We personally love everything you see, and hope that you will too.

We are proud to have San Francisco’s University’s Connie Ulasewicz as our guest speaker at the next EFactor event. Connie will share her thoughts on how to build your fashion line that is sustainable for the environment and community.

I am a friend, a mentor, a sister, a daughter, a grand-daughter, a girlfriend, an artist, a designer, a hostess, a cook, a beauty product and make-up lover, and of course a fashionista. I am passionate about eating well and making sure the children of our future are fed well and taught good eating habits from day one.

I have been committed to helping women look and feel better about themselves through education, dedication and action for the past fourteen years. By providing women with simple everyday tips, we can help increase their confidence, achieve their image goals, and have fun while doing it. My blog is a way to make this information accessible to all at their leisure.

It is critical that my tips and products are accessible, approachable, easy and fun.

Fashion & Green Series: 7 Questions With Jules Lauren Vasic of The Green Stylist

   SFFAMA: Tell us about yourself and what you do.

JLV: I am an eco-fashion designer, a writer, a sustainability and business consultant, a stylist, an artist and a social entrepreneur.What I do: Founder, Editor-in-Chief of The Green Stylist (www.thegreenstylist.com), a website that empowers consumers to vote with their dollars to push sustainable fashion and beauty mainstream. We write about the very best sustainable fashion and beauty products in the market and offer deals through our website and Facebook page.

SFFAMA: Why is eco-fashion important?

JLV: This is SUCH an important question - thanks for asking! The fashion and textile industry operates in a global economy and touches the far corners of our planet. It is a giant manufacturing industry that does not support local trade, social and environmental justice, not because it doesn’t want to, but because there is little transparency and accountability along the supply chain from cotton crop to our cotton t-shirts. Governments offer little help to regulate the system because it is just so complicated to understand and track.

The shoes you are wearing right now, for example, could have been made from cotton grown in India - with the use of pesticides and herbicides that pollute water streams and drinking water - the cotton could be transported to a Chinese factory to be dyed and made into cloth, the rubber soles could be from another continent entirely, and everything could be put together in China in a factory where workers are not paid a livable wage. Then, the shoes are packaged with non-recycled cardboard boxes and plastic film for protection and shipped to Western Countries for consumption. At the end of the whole process, the shoes are discarded when we’ve grown tired of them in a few years, seasons and sometimes in a few short months.
