Japanese Silk Handheld Fan, Pink with White Flowers HF182

Fantastic fan
I get hot very easily. So I needed something to fan myself with other than using a piece of paper. I have had my fan over a year now and literally use it every day! I wish there was a sleeve or case to store it in, other than the cardboard box it came in. I'm ordering another one because mine is starting to tear on the very edges, but still looks great and is functional. The reason why mine is wearing out is a result of my own mistake. I forgot my fan outside during a very humid day for 8+ hours and it did warp the bamboo a bit. I do believe my fan would be in pretty good shape if I had treated it better. Like I said I'm ordering another one today (maybe more). I love this fan and have gotten a lot of compliments on it as well. I definitely recommend it. My fan was a little bit lighter in shade than the picture, but mine did have the butterfly cutouts in the bamboo.

Very nice fan, comfortable to hold and use.
As another reviewer posted, I bought this fan specifically for hot flashes. This is the second one I purchased, because I would be VERY SAD if I misplaced my only fan and was without it! It is with me everywhere I work or relax.
If you look at the zoomed in photo, you may notice that the inner bamboo parts are carved. Mine doesn't look exactly like the zoomed in piture. The fabric on mine is a bit lighter in color, and the fabric looks sheer. You can't see that in the picture. The carving in the bamboo on mine doesn't have the little butterfly, but mine has more carving. Really, this just seems so much more detailed than I noticed in the description. The bamboo is all very smooth and the fan is a joy to hold. Two things are missing in my opinion. I would have liked a case or cover because I plan to carry this in my purse. I will make a cover so the fan doesn't get discolored or worn in travel. Also, I remember fans from "yesteryear" had a way to attach a wrist ribbon and this...

Hot flashes, Ladies? This silk fan was made for you!

I love this fan so much I bought several in other patterns and colors. They are all lovely and move air beautifully when my hot flashes surge. I always keep one within reach.

They are well worth their price.
