Our Homes: The Varnam Store Experience
We don’t do showrooms; we create homes. Visit our spaces in Bangalore, Mysore, and Goa to feel the craft, explore the stories, and support the artisans who make it all possible.
Craft deserves a home, not just a link. Our Mysore store is more than a business decision; it’s a heartfelt promise to our artisans and our traditions. Housed in a beautiful space in Gokulam, we hope you’ll come experience it.
Our Indiranagar store is a little home full of wonder, set in a cozy 1970s house. For the past nine years, we’ve stayed true to what makes us different: a lot of heart and products that make you smile.
It's been a few weeks since we reopened our Jayanagar store. We are so glad to have another beautiful home, right in the center of Jayanagar, with ample parking. We hope to see all our well-wishers from South Bangalore here.
Our Goa store is a dream realized, housed in a 150-year-old Indo-Portuguese villa. This video shows the making of our 8x8 feet bamboo grid installation, a centerpiece that showcases our signature Channapatna birds and lights.
Our stores have always had a home-like feel. Finding the perfect home with the right energy is the first step, and a huge part of that is creating a welcoming garden, like this one at our new Jayanagar store.
This video, created by a visitor, captures the essence of our Indiranagar store. It showcases our reinterpretation of the 200-year-old Channapatna craft into unique home, kitchen, and kids' decor, much of it made by women artisans.
Restoring antique pieces and giving them a new life is always an exciting journey. These two beautiful teakwood pillars from Mysore now occupy a place of pride at our Bangalore, Indiranagar store.
It’s not SEO that keeps our lights on, it’s you walking in. We survive on moments like these, on the glint in your eye when you spot that perfect piece. We exist because you walk in, and we thrive because you care.
Our Mysore store is in full bloom after the rains. In just over a year and a half, we’re beyond grateful for the love and support from Mysoreans and tourists alike. We'd love to see you here.
The Gandeberunda, a mythical double-headed bird, is the Karnataka state emblem. When I saw this antique door frame with the carving, I had to make it a part of our Jayanagar store, giving it a new life as a display centerpiece.
About Our Homes: The Varnam Store Experience
Every Varnam store is a restored space—whether it’s a 1970s house in Indiranagar or a 150-year-old Indo-Portuguese villa in Goa. We don't just display products; we curate gardens, restore antique teakwood pillars, and create quiet corners where you can pause, breathe, and actually touch the craft before you decide to take a piece of it home.
Beyond the screen, into the space
We often get asked: 'Why a physical store? Why not just sell online?' Handcrafted traditions aren’t meant to be swiped past. They are meant to be felt, held, and lived. Our decision to open physical locations in Bangalore, Mysore, and Goa wasn't just a business move—it was a promise to our community and a way to create steady work for our artisans.
The Varnam experience
When you walk into our stores, you won’t find the clinical glare of a showroom. You will find a home. We spend time finding locations with the right energy—old houses with history, spaces with ample garden room, and quiet corners away from the city noise. Whether you are browsing our signature Channapatna toys, feeling the texture of our blockprint apparel, or looking for sustainable home decor, we want you to feel at ease.
