ALISIA ENCO story in Startup Valley magazine

The world is full of inspiring women and we need to learn from them. We hope to be a great influence in advancing women’s economic empowerment through our founder and creative mind of the brand ALISIA ENCO. My name is Alice Botnarenco and I describe myself rather as an entrepreneurial mind and a passionate creative heart. My entrepreneurial journey started from a young age. At 23 my first business was a rent-a-car company pretty much linked to my desire of independence rather than to a calling. Ten years ago, I founded “Women in Business”, a non-profit association with the goal to create a network of women entrepreneurs and managers in the C-suite that would share experiences, insights and support each other.  Five years...

Entrepreneurial journey – Now versus then

Now things are much easier than they were years ago when I started my first business - the car rental company. Back then, I didn't know what an online store even meant. But over time, I have learned what it takes to develop continuously. I grew, I failed, I got up, and learned a lot on the go. I'm still learning. I discover new things daily, and I'm a firm believer that learning process should never stop. I launched my brand ALISIA ENCO in 2014 as an online boutique where you can stop and buy your favourite shirt when you have some free time. I'm laughing now, because I remember orders that came on our website at midnight. And I understand completely, especially now that I became...

Povestea brandului de camasi in Ziarul Financiar

Alice Botnarenco spune că a avut de mică sprit de întreprinzător, astfel că la numai 23 de ani a fondat o firmă de închirieri maşini, după ce a lucrat pentru scurt timp drept broker la Bursa de Valori din Bucureşti. Ca antreprenor a observat cât de mult conformism este în ţinuta de business, purtată de clienţii săi, în mare parte corporatişti, şi a decis să reinventeze cămaşa clasică. Aşa a apărut în 2014 brandul ALISIA ENCO, prin care antreprenoarea produce şi comercializează îmbrăcăminte cu motive tradiţionale româneşti şi greceşti, după o investiţie iniţială de 20.000 de euro.

A new must have from ALISIA ENCO

t he already famous Romanian motifs on the Traditionale shirts come now under the shape of beautifully crafted accessories. ALISIA ENCO launches, in limited edition, a spectacular collection of statement pieces, inspired from the Romanian values around the Centenary anniversary: a combination of contraries - simplicity and innovation power, minimalist and creativity, delicacy and feminine power altogether.
