Circa Vintage Wear — Local services in New Bedford

A fascinating, thorough, creative fortress hidden in the heart of New Bedford. I find it almost hard to believe this place exists. I've been to many vintage stores, but this place is on a different beat. It's like, Narnia. Chris's work goes beyond resale and trends, it's a full on emporium showcasing clothing from all people of all eras possible. Oh, and you're allowed to take the clothes home, too.

My only 'critique' is that the store isn't marketed/ communicated in the most typical and clear fashion, I missed it my first time trying to come. There's no sign, and hours are slim and unwritten on the door. But less time into exposition makes thriving artistic magic possible. Just sorry to anyone who might miss it.

Prices are chill, Chris is chill, and the droves of regulars and friends circulating the place are chill. Very...

My son and I stopped by Circa this past Saturday after a recommendation from a record store owning friend . It's a Gas !! The place is so discreet, if you blink you'll drive right by it !!! You open the green door to enter an entirely different era !! We couldn't stay long, we were pressed for time, but wanted to make sure we were able to find it. The gentleman ( Chris ? ) warmly welcomed us and let us browse without ' lurking' like so many other shop owners do. We didn't buy anything that day, SOOOO much to look through in so little time, but he was just as friendly when we left as when he greeted us !! We will surely be back when we have an afternoon to get lost in time !! Do yourself a favor and seek this place out...it truly is like no other place we've been !!...

Circa and Chris are amazing! The selection reaches all ends of the fashion spectrum. My best statement pieces come from Circa. In the winter I'm always stopped in the street with inquiries about my cream matching fox hat and fur stole. I appreciate his coats the most, definitely his specialty. He has a huge selection; in one stop I purchased a beautiful navy colored, military inspired, midi wool coat, and a black maxi with large attached fur collar, as well as, a perfect condition men's pea coat for my boyfriend. Come ready to spend, not because the prices are outrageous, but rather you will want it all. At Circa, get it while you can, because it won't be there when...
