Everyone is looking to look like no one. Everyone desires his or her own “look.” Copius is simply facilitating that.

With the rise of American fashion designers (ie Ovadia & Sons, Velardi, Ian Velardi, Riccardo Tisci, Todd Snyder to name a few), American men want to pick and choose from this range of aesthetics now available. He might not wear a whole look from Tisci, but he likes his t-shirt. He might then pair it with a suit from Ovadia & Sons. American men are becoming sophisticated, t-shirts and jeans, don’t cut it as much anymore. They are looking for a look that is fresh, mature, and their own.

We are readying the launch of our social commerce site where we empower all consumers to create their own deals, join others and share them to build group volume to gain more attractive pricing than any individual consumer could attain at Flash Purchase.
