Coggs' Circus is a family run business with a brand new member, Xavier! (He doesn't quite get the circus concept yet, but he is a natural contortionist!).
The main founder, Charlie Coggs, has been involved in various aspects of circus throughout his life. He has always been drawn to the intimately different: the side show, the underdog, the unusual... And he aims at running the business in a way that pays attention to detail the only way that a small business can. Prior to founding Coggs' Circus, he ran a circus school and has been involved with performance/performers on a variety of levels. He understands the performers' obsession with quality gear-- one can only be as good as one's gear allows them to be. He also understands timing and sometimes a performer needs their gear yesterday. With this in mind, he aims to have the fastest turn around time possible while still maintaining a watchful eye on quality.
Charlie's wife, Marcie, is the blood of the business. A circus star in her own right, she is the lubricant that keeps the Coggs running smoothly. She is the mind behind all the intricacies of making sure you receive a piece of circus art that meets your expectations in a timely manner. All of this while being the most amazing mother to our wonderful son.
We happen to adore antiquated ways. In a word filled with outsourced corporations dominating every thought, we appreciate small family run businesses. We hope you do, too. It means you receive immediate heart-felt customer service!
We hope you will enjoy our gear as much as we enjoy making it! Your imagination is our inspiration! If you want something custom made please feel free to contact us. We are all performers are self, so we know what it means to have quality gear delivered in a timely manner. When you buy a piece of gear from us, you are joining our family which is spread throughout the world. We have performers using our gear in the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and some places we haven't even heard of!
If there is something new happening in the world of cirque you can count on our designs being a part of it. We are the only ones making the LED and fire lyra that we know of. Our lyras are already amazing, but the LED lyra and the fire lyra take it to a whole new level!
