Description
This rainbow stripe hand fan opens into a bright half circle of recycled paper, pressed into crisp pleats and set on a frame of pale bamboo ribs. Bold bands of rainbow colour run from one edge to the other, so every flick of the wrist brings a cheerful burst of colour along with a cooling breeze. The bamboo ribs are pierced with rows of small dots near the pivot, a neat detail against the plain wood. Fully open, it measures 35cm wide and 21cm long, a generous span that moves a good amount of air. At just 22g, you will hardly notice it in a bag.
We keep it with our travel accessories because it earns its place in a bag. Folded, it slips into a handbag, a rucksack pocket or a carry-on, ready to come out on a crowded train, in a stuffy waiting room or on a warm afternoon outdoors. It is just as handy at home on a close evening when the air in a room feels still, or on a sunny day in the garden. The rainbow stripes suit anyone who loves bright, happy colour, and they bring a playful note to a plain outfit.
The leaf is recycled paper, folded so it gathers neatly back between the bamboo ribs, which are held together at a small pivot at the base. To open it, carefully spread the outer bamboo ribs apart, taking care to follow the direction of the paper folds so the pleats stay crisp. Close it the same way, letting the folds settle back in order. As good practice for paper and bamboo, keep it dry and dust it with a soft dry cloth. It makes a cheerful little present too, easy to wrap and sure to bring a smile whenever the day warms up.
