The Craft Is in the Details.
The hand fan is among the oldest cooling technologies in the subcontinent, and it has not needed improving. This one is carved from a single piece of wood by hand in Lahore, then stained and finished by hand, so the grain reads differently on every piece. Faisal checks each one before it ships. It is the least expensive thing we make and the object most likely to actually get used. Those two facts are related, and neither of them means it was made carelessly.
CARE
Care. Keep dry. Wipe with a soft cloth. Do not soak. The wood will darken slightly with handling over time.
CONSTRUCTION
One size, 16 inches long by 8 inches wide. Sized to be carried in a bag and used in one hand. The hand fan is among the oldest cooling technologies in the subcontinent, and it has not needed improving.
SIZE GUIDE
One size. 16 inches long × 8 inches wide (40 × 20 cm).
