Cultural Elegance in Every Fold

Immerse yourself in centuries of tradition with our exquisite 22cm Chinese folding fan featuring an authentic purple bamboo handle. This elegant handheld accessory blends traditional craftsmanship with breathtaking artistic detail, showcasing China's rich cultural heritage through carefully rendered floral and nature-inspired motifs. The delicate balance between functional cooling and decorative artistry makes this traditional Chinese fan a treasured addition to any collection.

Available in eight distinct patterns including Small Flowers, Peach Bird, Loquat Bird, White Crane, and Pink Flying Butterfly, each fan tells its own visual story through hand-painted elements that celebrate nature's beauty and symbolism in Chinese art.

Authentic Materials and Craftsmanship

Meticulously handcrafted using time-honored techniques, each fan features premium bamboo slats that provide the perfect foundation for graceful opening and closing movements. The striking purple bamboo handle offers both distinctiveness and durability, extending to approximately 19.7 inches (50cm) for comfortable handling during use.

The artistic paper surface creates the ideal canvas for the intricate designs, while decorative tassels (in randomly selected colors) add a finishing touch of cultural Chinese accessory authenticity. When fully extended, the fan creates a 22cm (approx. 8.7 inches) semicircle of cooling refreshment and visual delight.

Symbolic Art for Everyday Use

Beyond its practical cooling function, this oriental folding fan carries deep symbolic meaning. In Chinese culture, fans represent wisdom and beauty, while each pattern holds specific significance. Crane designs symbolize longevity, butterfly motifs represent transformation, and floral patterns celebrate nature's cycles and beauty.

Perfectly sized for everyday carrying, this fan folds compactly for easy transport while opening to provide immediate relief on warm days. Its elegant appearance makes it equally suitable as a decorative piece when not in active use.
