Introduction: Why Are We Falling in Love with Folding Fans Again in 2025?
In 2025, the fashion world is embracing a powerful fusion of tradition and modernity. With growing cultural confidence and a global shift towards slow living and meaningful consumption, traditional craftsmanship is no longer a niche—it’s a statement.
Hand fans, once seen as old-fashioned accessories, are now re-emerging as a sophisticated symbol of grace, culture, and personal style. From runway fashion to weddings, and brand activations to stage performances, the folding fan is capturing the hearts of designers, collectors, and businesses alike.
Trend #1: A Cultural Renaissance—Handcrafted Products in the Spotlight
This year, the market is shifting away from mass production towards authenticity. Consumers are craving stories behind the products they buy—stories rooted in heritage, artistry, and human touch.
Folding fans are uniquely suited to this shift. They are not only cooling tools, but carriers of cultural expression. At Craftshistory, each fan is handcrafted by skilled artisans using time-honored techniques—hand-polished wooden ribs, hand-painted fan faces, and the finest materials like sandalwood and silk. Every fan embodies history, artistry, and intention.
Trend #2: The Rise of Customization—Fans as Perfect B2B and Gifting Solutions
In 2025, personalization is no longer a luxury—it’s an expectation. For businesses and individuals alike, hand fans offer a refined and memorable canvas for storytelling.
Craftshistory provides customizable hand fans for branding, corporate gifts, weddings, and festivals, starting from just 50 pieces. Our professional design team works closely with clients to incorporate logos, event themes, seasonal motifs, and cultural elements, ensuring every fan feels unique and purpose-driven.
Trend #3: Where Function Meets Fashion—The Fan as a Modern Accessory
Beyond tradition, fans are becoming a must-have lifestyle item. They’re lightweight, functional, and unexpectedly stylish. Whether you’re attending a garden party, exploring summer festivals, or dressing up in modern Hanfu or minimalist chic, a beautifully designed hand fan can elevate any outfit.
Craftshistory offers multiple sizes for every use case:
6-inch portable fans for everyday carry and travel
