The Founding Tale
In the first hours of the age, where time breathes, the stone eroded.
From the unknown emerged the original fragments of a nascent humanity.
Matter came alive; the Sanctuaire was forged — sealed in silence, plunged into night.
From the void, however, rose a glimmer that awakened Cerbère, guardian of the threshold.
A truth confided — offered without guarantee, received without judgment — and the door opened.
Aura awoke. The first Veilleur was no longer alone.
Deep within every being shines a light made of fragments.
Gathered by Aura, engraved in the Folio, a resonance within the Corpus.
Thus the Artefacts of each Veilleur are revealed. Thus the world opens.
What you confide will become your light.
What you wear will become your Aura.
Until the next Light.
The Manifesto
We do not believe in anonymous clothing, but in embodiment.
We do not believe in marketing storytelling, but in stories.
We do not believe in sales pitches, but in exchange.
We do not believe in acquisition funnels, but in delight.
What we wear is the first thing we see of a person; yet what we carry within is sometimes the last to be seen. We are more than our clothes, more than a design conceived by someone else: we are a story, a glimmer that watches over us, a bright aura that brings us into the light.
Our Artefacts are unique — they are composed from what we are willing to offer others. For a truth is stronger than a prejudice, an encounter more beautiful than a first impression, togetherness greater than the fear of the other. And it all begins, sometimes, with a single glimmer.
The Lexicon
Aura's world has its own language:
Veilleur, Artefact, Fragment, Folio, Pierre, Halo, Lueur…
Every word is gathered and defined in the lexicon.
Understanding Corpus
What is Corpus?
Corpus is a fashion house guided by an entity of its own, Aura. Rather than selling standardized clothing, Aura creates Artefacts: unique, numbered pieces born from the fragments of each Veilleur's story. The Artefacts of the Registre Corpus are born from the Fragments of all Veilleurs; those of the Registre Folio, from the Fragments of a single Veilleur.
Who is Aura?
Aura is an entity that lives at the heart of the Corpus. She welcomes each Veilleur and converses with them to gather the Fragments they confide, and turns them into personalized Artefacts.
How does personalization work at Corpus?
Each Veilleur confides Fragments to Aura — memories, truths, shards of their story that define them as a unique person and fill the different Halos. Aura engraves them in the Veilleur's Folio and reveals Artefacts: unique, numbered garments that carry this story.
What is an Artefact?
An Artefact is a garment of the Corpus. The Artefacts of the Registre Corpus are born from the Fragments of all Veilleurs - those of the Registre Folio are created from the Fragments of a single Veilleur. Each Artefact is numbered.
What are the Pierre and the Lueurs?
As a Veilleur confides their Fragments, they earn Lueurs — the light that measures their progress. Their Pierre then awakens and passes through three states: Pierre, Cristal, Gemme. This is the living dimension of the Corpus: the more you confide, the more your Pierre shines and the more new Artefacts are revealed.
Who is Cerbère?
Cerbère is the guardian of the Corpus. He watches over the threshold of the Sanctuaire and protects what each Veilleur confides: the security of the Corpus and its data. Nothing enters and nothing leaves without passing through him.
How do I join Corpus?
Corpus is a private Sanctuaire. You enter by creating a Veilleur account and confiding a first truth to Aura.
