Description

This vintage flower hand fan pairs a pleated leaf of recycled paper with pale bamboo ribs, printed all over with big, cheerful blooms in a retro style. Pink and red flowers sit alongside deep blue petals, fresh green leaves and scattered little blue and orange florets, each drawn with a bold dark outline on a soft cream ground. The bamboo ribs are pierced with a neat pattern of tiny holes, and the whole fan opens out to 35cm wide and 21cm long, so it moves a good amount of air with each flick of the wrist. It is a cheerful, practical piece to keep close when the weather warms up.

Because it weighs just 22g, it slips into a handbag, beach bag or travel case without adding any bulk. It is ready for a stuffy train carriage, a long queue in the sun or a warm evening in the garden. We like it for days out, holidays and anywhere the air feels close. It suits anyone who loves flowers and colour, and it makes a thoughtful little gift for a friend who runs warm or is heading off on a summer break.

The fan folds along its paper pleats between two outer bamboo guards. To open it, carefully spread the outer bamboo ribs apart, following the direction of the folds so the paper creases cleanly and stays crisp. Close it the same way, gathering the pleats back together before you put it away. As with any paper piece, keep it dry and away from spills, and store it closed when not in use so the leaf keeps its shape. A soft dry cloth will brush dust from the ribs. For a cheerful summer present, tie it with ribbon and tuck it into a gift bag with sun cream and a good paperback.

Frequently Asked

How big is the fan when it is open?

It opens out to 35cm wide and 21cm long, a generous size that moves plenty of air without being awkward to hold.

What is the hand fan made from?

The pleated leaf is recycled paper and the ribs are bamboo, which keeps the whole fan very light at just 22g.

How do I open it without damaging the paper?

Carefully spread the outer bamboo ribs apart, following the direction of the paper folds, so the pleats open evenly and stay crisp.

What colours are in the floral design?

It has pink, red and deep blue blooms with green leaves and small blue and orange flowers, all outlined in a bold dark line on a soft cream background.

Will it fit in a handbag?

Yes. It folds closed along its pleats and weighs only 22g, so it sits easily in a handbag, rucksack or travel bag.

How should I look after it?

As it is paper, keep it dry, store it closed when not in use, and brush any dust from the bamboo ribs with a soft dry cloth.
