I've worked with HK in the past and have spoken with a couple of other teams about their experiences. The feedback I've gotten has been decidedly mixed.
On the upside, the product is undeniably good. Both sets of vardiyaan that I've gotten from her have been very high quality. One had a ton of elaborate mirror work that still stuns on stage, and the other set is impeccable as well. That's what makes it so difficult: the product is consistently very high-quality.
The downside for me is that it seems like you need to move heaven and earth to get your shit in any sort of reasonable timeline if you're not a name-brand team. I don't know what the experiences of teams like UNC or FCB were, but both of the two teams that ordered uniforms from her had to harangue the heck out of her and her tailor to get the vardiyaan on time. Doesn't matter if you order five, six or even seven months in advance, apparently. I've even heard of teams not getting their vardiyaan for extremely bizarre reasons, like having them sent to the wrong team. I understand the difficulty of running a business that spans two continents, and that problems do occur, but that's no excuse for giving people the run around about what's actually going on with their vardiyaan. It's a big ticket purchase, especially for a lot of smaller college teams, so it sucks to be anxious over whether or not you're going to get to have vardiyaan for your biggest performance (and it sucks even more if you have to run all of your dress rehearsals without vardiyaan since they're not here yet).
In short, the quality's there, but the process leaves a lot to be desired. Seems like Romesh might be a solution, but honestly, it seems like the market's ripe for someone who can put out high-quality vardiyaan and props with a minimum of ancillary bullshit.
HK: I encourage you to reach out to me, either on the forum or on facebook, because I think there are a couple of easy ways you could alleviate a lot of the issues I mentioned above. The products SB makes are very nice, but I think you can improve the process a bit, and I'd like to help.
its happened to my own teams as well having outfits delivered the day before sometimes. I also go through Romesh, sometimes teams just find it easier then dealing with him on their own. I also have heard that we get a better price then going to him directly.
