Philosophy Collection

"You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."  - Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius was one of the greatest minds the world has seen, and while we know he wasn't perfect, his meditations and ruling principles have been passed down for thousands of years. In fact, his martial achievements, leadership skill, and depth of mind so inspired us, that we named this company after him. Thought to be the real life definition of what it means to be a Philosopher King, and someone we at Verus try to emulate daily, his lessons continue to bring us insight and wisdom. 

While philosophy may not appeal to you (it certainly didn't to us for most of our lives), this collection is for those that ask questions. Those that try to navigate the path within themselves before putting up signs for everyone else. Those that speak that unforgivable word, that word that is so often needed, yet too often neglected. Why.

At a time when attention spans are encouraged to last mere seconds, and depth of conversation and thought seem like something out of a fairy tale, this is our attempt to create imagery that inspires to question. These designs are for you, the wearer, no one else. Created to remind and to motivate, we hope they help in your discovery of some big answers, and some even bigger questions. Pull up a stool, unroll a virtual scroll, and peruse our digital list, this ones for you.
