We’re hardly experiencing a heatwave, but in the name of future planning (and accommodating for those who are Europe-based or bound), we’re reporting on the fashion fix of the moment: a chic hand fan.
Equal parts practical and statement-making, the luxe hand fan is stepping into the spotlight, and some of the world’s most covetable brands are taking note. From Hermès to Louis Vuitton, luxury houses are turning out stunning fans in elevated materials and exquisite designs, and we can’t help but think it’s a need not want situation (despite the current dreariness outside the office window). After all, fashionable doesn’t always have to mean practical, does it?
