Description
This pink abstract hand fan pairs a recycled paper leaf with a bamboo frame for a light, simple way to keep cool. The leaf carries a bold wave pattern in pink and red, with soft curving bands that flow out from the centre like ripples, so the print reads clearly even at arm's length. The bamboo ribs keep their natural pale finish and are pierced with small dots near the base, a neat detail that shows each time you open it. Fully open, it measures 35cm across and 21cm long, a generous span that moves plenty of air with an easy flick of the wrist.
We think of it as a travel essential first. Closed along its folds, it slips into a handbag, rucksack or carry-on, and at only 0.022KG it adds nothing you will notice to your load. It earns its place on a hot train, a long flight or a crowded platform, and it is just as welcome on a warm afternoon in the garden or a stuffy evening indoors. The cheerful pink and red print makes it an easy gift for anyone who feels the heat, or for a friend who simply loves a bright, happy pattern.
The recycled paper is folded into even pleats and fixed to the bamboo ribs, which gather at a single pivot at the base. To open it, carefully spread the outer bamboo ribs apart, following the direction of the paper folds so the pleats open cleanly and keep their shape, and close it the same way rather than pressing it flat. As with any paper, keep it dry and store it closed when not in use; a light dust with a soft dry cloth keeps the bamboo fresh. It makes a cheerful little present on its own, wrapped in tissue with a handwritten note.

How big is the fan when it is open?
Fully open, it measures 35cm across and 21cm long. That is wide enough to move a good breeze but still easy to hold comfortably in one hand.
What is the fan made from?
The pleated leaf is recycled paper and the ribs are bamboo, left in a natural pale finish with small pierced dots near the base.
How do I open it without damaging the folds?
Carefully spread the outer bamboo ribs apart, following the direction of the paper folds. Close it the same way along the pleats rather than pressing it flat.
Is it easy to carry when travelling?
Yes. It weighs only 0.022KG and closes along its folds, so it slips easily into a handbag, rucksack or carry-on for trains, flights and warm days out.
What colours are in the pattern?
The paper leaf carries flowing wave bands in pink and red, which sit against the natural pale tone of the bamboo ribs.
How should I look after it?
As with any paper, keep it dry and store it closed when you are not using it. A light dust with a soft dry cloth keeps the bamboo ribs looking fresh.
