Japanese Silk Handheld Fan, Green with Gold Flecks HF176



It's nice enough for the price
Though I wish the slats looked more like wood than plastic, but it's still an attractive fan. It's also good size - big enough to fan during the hot flashes, small enough to comfortably fit in the purse. It also seems made well enough to hold up for a few years.

Sparkly and Functional
I gave this fan five stars because it is exactly what one think it would be; it is a lightweight, pretty fan that fits easily in a purse and opens and closes fairly smoothly with a little help (it's a sensu fan, not the abanico type that you can snap open and shut).

The gold flecks are more like gold streaks and swirls; much prettier and goldier than the picture.

I quite like this fan.

Tastefully glamorous
I wanted something a bit elegant to use onstage but that doesn't call attention to itself. This fan is pretty, smallish, and easy to carry in a sleeve or sash. The reflective gold threads are on the front only, so I can even customize the bling level. Another reviewer dismissed this as junky because, she said, the ribs are plastic not wood. Actually, they are stained bamboo, as they appear in the enlarged photo.
