We're ditching our plastic handheld fans for this far more glamorous handbag essential
Briefly

Hand fans are essential for summer, combining practicality with style. Unlike traditional paper fans that are flimsy, modern hand fans offer durability and aesthetic appeal, with intricate designs that double as fashion accessories. Brands like Pubumésu provide vibrant leather options crafted by skilled artisans, while Khu Khu offers colorful designs inspired by Spanish culture. Many fans feature sustainably-sourced bamboo ribs and a variety of materials to cater to different budgets, making them an ideal choice for eco-conscious consumers looking for fashionable cooling solutions.
The best styles now far eschew the paper versions of yore that rip after two or three uses before inevitably ending up in the bin, with plenty to choose from rivalling their less eco-friendly electric counterparts in both style points and cooling power.
We've found beautiful, intricate options that are fashion accessories in their own right.
You only need to look at the vibrant pieces by Indonesian brand Pubumésu that are crafted near-entirely from leather by skilled artisans.
In a boon for those looking to cut down on plastic, most of the fans below have ribs made from sustainably-sourced bamboo.
