Paper fans are important cultural symbols in East Asia, where Geisha girls traditionally use fans in their fan dances, and Japanese women use fans to fan themselves in hot weather. Our hand held fans are 14 cm in length and displays colorful floral design when fan open. The paper fan symbolizes friendship, respect and good wishes, hence their increasing popularity at weddings and birthday celebrations. They are traditionally given on special occasions so why not decorate your wedding venue with Chinese paper fans and let your guests take them home as a memento of your special day. Or simply use as a handheld fan during travel. There?s nothing worse than realising that you?re a degree above your desired bodily temperature, only to reach into your handbag and cool down with this delicate, lacy, handbag sized fan. You?ll never again be in this quite frankly dire situation. Simply spread the fan, slowly move your hand, and watch as breaths of cool air make their way to your skin, leaving you feeling refreshed, satisfied, and ready to face anything ? pretty clever, huh?
