Summer essentials – the freshest cooling cotton fans

Summer essentials : As the temperature rises and summer days stretch long, the quest for effective yet stylish cooling solutions becomes a priority. One timeless accessory that has stood the test of time is the fan. Printed cotton and paper fans not only provide a refreshing breeze but also serve as beautiful decorative pieces. For gift and accessory retailers and gallery and museum shops, fans present an opportunity to enhance product offerings while appealing to a broad customer base. Since the introduction of our pretty balsa wood fan eight years ago, this accessory has grown in popularity and is now an important staple in the accessory buyer’s inventory. Blues in various guises are fabulous to curate together creating a visually cooling effect with maximum impact. Indigo blue and white evokes the traditional fans of Japan but has a contemporary freshness that is hard to resist.

Cotton printed fans are an elegant blend of functionality and artistry. Made from high-quality cotton fabric, our fans are adorned with interesting prints; intricate Indonesian patterns, classic Japanese designs or painterly images from the works of great masters. Our collection of these super summer essentials celebrate culture, nature and art. Batik prints in a range of subtle or vibrant colours offer an exotic look. Sold as assortments of six, just one or two packs provide an opportunity to create an impression and, if a new item to you, to try out this summer with the minimum outlay. Team with the best selling ‘Kyoto inspired’ balsa fan for a complimentary contrast.

Florals are a must for summer and we have a choice of flower designs; from pretty chintzes and kimono prints to Van Gogh and Monet classics.

For a lively colourful look, there is a vibrant rainbow design, abstract prints and the wonderful Kandinsky ‘Composition 8″ for lovers of modern art.

In addition to cotton fans, paper fans are another delightful option that offer versatility and affordability. Our pack of paper fans in eight beautiful colours is a useful and inexpensive item for those spontaneous hot day purchases. The more traditional Japanese style ‘Great wave’ is another paper option which. Like so many of our fans, it looks as attractive as a decorative object as it functions as a practical item.

Eco friendly, inexpensive, practical and attractive; fans really are the best of summer essentials!
