The Circa Store

This store is a window into the world of Circa, located in the heart of Anjuna, Goa.

It is home to our humble antique collection. Each space within the store is intentionally curated with unique pieces. The idea is to keep pieces that have journeyed together in one installation or collection. We believe that this way they convey a powerful message. One that allows us to understand the gravitas of having such rare and precious mementos from history in our homes.

A walk through the store will give you a sense of how Circa pieces will look once they go home with you. Every artefact we have has been carefully selected and lovingly nurtured back to life.

This store is in association with the luxury fashion label MASN (Mayank Anand Shraddha Nigam).

The Origin

This story began in Nairobi in 1959 with Hans Raj Suri. Mr. Suri was traveling on work when he discovered that people in the western world greatly appreciated Indian art and handicrafts. Elated that his culture was being adored he set foot on a new voyage. Soon after his return, he began working toward sharing the diversity and richness of Indian art and culture with connoisseurs around the world.

Today, his legacy is carried forward by his grandchildren who share his love for Indian handicrafts, art, and design. Circa has beautifully married their passion with heritage and preservation. All the artifacts are treated with great care and respect. Our intention is to share India’s rich and diverse heritage with those who value it the most.

About

Circa is home to a treasure trove of curated artwork, antiques, collectibles, and vintage furnishings. It’s origin is deeply rooted in a family legacy of trade of Indian handicrafts. It was born with the intention of bringing the very best of the old world into the new.

Every artefact, antique, or painting that we have has been carefully restored to its original condition. It is imperative to us that we restore them mindfully, honouring the era they were made in, the materials used to make them, and the function of every component.

At Circa we reclaim what we can, repurpose what is done with, restore what has been, and refurbish what is discarded in order to reuse what is deemed unusable.

We source our antiques from all over the world, which is why our collection has the very best of what the old world has to offer. Our intention is to share the diversity and richness of Indian culture.

Each piece is unique, has its own story and is steeped in heritage. It is our honour to breathe life back into these pieces and share them with you.
