Q. Aren’t foldable fans weak?
Fans made by closely attaching bamboo flesh to tear-resistant Korean paper can be used for a long time and will not break no matter how hard you blow them.
Q. What is the difference between the standard type and the luxury type in option selection?
A. The standard type of fan meat is made of the inner part of the bamboo stem, and the luxury type is made of the outer part of the hard shell, so the surface is clean and shiny.
The regular type is made of white Korean paper, while the luxury type is made of delicate off-white high-quality Korean paper mixed with silver threads.
The luxury type comes with decorative knots and all fans are sent in individual boxes.
Q. Is the general type less durable than the luxury type?
A. The strength of the luxury type made of the outer part of the bamboo, which is the outer part of the bamboo, is 100, while the strength of the general type made of the inner part is about 90 to 95.
The luxury type’s fan blade is shiny, less stained, and slightly more elastic, but there is little difference in functionality or durability.

When the blistering sun makes a mockery of outdoor plans, this exquisite folding fan is my silent ally. Inspired by artisanal crafts passed down through generations in Korea but fabricated with global finesse. It’s surprising how lightweight yet resilient these bamboo-ribbed pieces truly are! Unlike flimsy counterparts found elsewhere, which collapse at an overzealous breeze, this one’s steady frame combines artistic flair and functional design marvelously. Gifts from faraway lands like this serve as elegant conversation starters—almost sculptural—for beach picnics or intimate garden gatherings alike.

Ricordo di un’estate scorsa a Napoli, dove l’arte del ventilarsi è essenziale. Questo ventaglio artigianale non solo ha offerto sollievo dalla calura mediterranea ma anche una storia da raccontare. È diventato il mio piccolo tesoro, per affrontare qualsiasi giorno afoso.
Ariana Winterson from Los Angeles, USA –
Experiencing summer in the vibrant neighborhoods of Los Angeles means preparing for sizzling afternoons, and this folding fan proves itself indispensable. Impeccably crafted from resilient bamboo paired with exquisite rice paper, its lightweight design fits seamlessly into my beach tote—never have I encountered a perfect harmony between elegance and practicality before. Gifted by a close friend passionate about artisanal items, it depicts floral motifs inspired by timeless cultural themes which evoke laughter during joyful picnics at Griffith Park. My only question is how such craftsmanship persists through wind resistance; there’s something strikingly impressive behind that minimal yet stunning silhouette.

Então, acabei de ganhar um leque feito à mão que parece uma verdadeira obra de arte! Ele é leve e fácil de carregar, perfeito para aqueles dias escaldantes. É incrível como ele dá não só alívio do calor, mas também traz toda a beleza da cultura em cada movimento quando abro pra dar uma brisa nos amigos. Ahhh… aquela sensação nostálgica enquanto imagino pessoas ao longo dos séculos se refrescando assim! Adoraria presentear alguém especial com isso no próximo verão aqui na minha cidade maravilhosa!

I purchased the luxury type of this Korean Traditional Hanji Bamboo Folding Fan, and I’m thoroughly impressed. The craftsmanship is exquisite, featuring beautiful Korean folk paintings that add a touch of culture to my summer outings. I was particularly pleased with its sturdiness; unlike other fans I’ve used before, this one is made from durable bamboo and tear-resistant paper that can withstand the breeze without any issues. It’s lightweight too, making it perfect for carrying around during outdoor events.
