Shanthi Tailors has been outfitting dancers for over five decades, and we ensure our pieces meet the highest standards for stage presence.

Q: How do I ensure these armlets stay secure during a dance performance?
A: Each Vankki is designed with a durable, adjustable black thread closure. For optimal security during dynamic classical dance movements, we recommend tying the threads firmly around your arm, ensuring a snug fit that won't shift or loosen during your performance. A double knot often provides extra reassurance.

A: To maintain the lustre and longevity of your Vankkis, wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any moisture or oils. Store them in an airtight pouch or box, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and harsh chemicals, as these can affect the gold-leaved finish and kemp stones.
