Jesus Torres & Alexis Zambrano. Founders of M. de PHOCAS

We have a customer who practices design for a living, collects art as an avocation, experiments in botany, studies music theory and that's just on weekdays. Such a range of passions are often underappreciated in our specialized age, where the masses seem fulfilled to know a great deal about one specific thing, yet very little about everything else.

Those who are well rounded and who we choose to refer to as renaissance men don't pursue a myriad of subjects just to accumulate a hoard of facts, but because augmenting their knowledge in one area magnifies their appreciation in all fields. That's how understanding begins, by going past the bounds and bonds of conventional and fashionable wisdom. A man is perceived as an encyclopedia of all vices, ancient and modern, and interesting to leaf through.

Our creations are intended for those who find pleasure in the anomaly of substance, rather than rely in the absence of imagination. It is made for those selecting their accessories and wardrobe not through rules, but through the true understanding of style. Our clients consider the experience we provide to create a statement of their own identity. It is that expression that makes a man unique and is presented in ways that enhances a remarkable sense of style.
