Our story of Eulene
In ancient Greek, eu was said roughly eh-oo, two vowels run together; Latin carried it into Europe, and English, after its vowels shifted, came to say it yoo, as in Europe, Eugene and euphoria. Eulene takes that yoo sound from Eula and gives it the soft -lene ending of its day. It is gentle and old-fashioned.

Fashion outlook
