Description
This gingham hand fan pairs a pleated recycled paper leaf with a set of pale bamboo ribs, so it folds flat and opens into a full, cheerful half circle of checks. We offer it in two colourways, pink or blue, each a lively gingham check on a white ground. Fully open, it measures 35cm wide and 21cm long, a generous span that moves plenty of air with an easy flick of the wrist. The bamboo ribs are pierced with a fine pattern of tiny holes, a small detail that keeps the frame looking light, and the whole fan weighs just 22g.
Because it folds down slim and weighs so little, it is an easy thing to keep in a handbag, a beach bag or a tote when you travel. It is ready for a stuffy train carriage, a crowded waiting room or a warm afternoon in the garden. It sits happily on a dressing table or hall shelf at home too, close at hand when a room grows warm. The cheerful check suits anyone who likes a little colour about them. With two colourways to choose from, it is easy to pick the one that goes with a favourite bag or summer wardrobe.
To open it, carefully spread the outer bamboo ribs apart, following the direction of the paper folds, and close it the same way so the pleats stay crisp. Paper does not like water, so we suggest keeping it dry and folding it away when it is not in use. A soft dry cloth will lift any dust from the ribs. Tied with a ribbon, it makes a bright, thoughtful little gift that will be used again and again, and it slips easily into a parcel alongside sunglasses or a favourite book.
