Chinese Folding Fan Hand Fan with Traditional Chinese Arts Handicraft Black 13inch

I've ordered quite a few folding fans recently to stay cool during summer fun as well as during my work commute in the Chicago heat. Larger 13" fans have always been fine for social outings but too large to use on public transit, but the smaller 8" fans tend too be too flimsy and break too easily.This fan is ALMOST perfect. The overall length is great; a good ~10" makes a nicely large fan but not too unwieldy. The spines are pinned together nice and tightly, so no errant openings (sorry fellas, no clacking this fan), and the fan portion is a nice heavy vinyl-type material, so it should withstand a lot of opening and closing. I say it is almost perfect because though the two outmost spines are nice and thick with a smooth lacquered finish, the inner spines are kind of thin which makes the fan feel a bit flimsy, especially with the heavier material seeming to move more air and cause more resistance.Overall, GREAT fan for the price and one I will definitely be reordering if I need another.

I bought this blank folding fan to paint on it for a concert, it had a great size almost as wide as one of my arms so it was a perfect canvas. I’d say it’s pretty sturdy as well, there’s a little resistance when closing and it’s definitely not the highest of qualities but it was perfect for what I needed.

The media could not be loaded. The fan is hard to open. It does not lay flat like I was extexting. The fabric seems to be strong, but these stickseems like they would break. By the way, they are twisting when the fan is open.

Well made and beautiful in design. This fan is beautiful and functional.

Massive fan, creates a wonderful breeze, but two times of opening it and the bamboo is peel. It is also hard to open (for a fan).

Good material. Sturdy. I use it everyday when it gets a little hot.

Excellent quality and very affordable. Works far better than other fans I've had

It is a large fan not handbag size. Very sturdy!
