Hand-held fans are perfect for those hot Spring & Summer days when a light breeze is all you need to keep the sweat from your lady-like brow!
The
folding fan first appeared pictured with a Japanese god of happiness! Invented by the Japanese originally,
the Chinese adopted it and helped spread their use to
the rest of the world. Hand fans came to be an
important part of Spring & Summer outfits, and were
seen as an indicator
of the holder's social status.
These days, hand fans are perfect for unique interior decoration, wedding favours or simply for the purpose they were first invented: to keep you cool!
