With the arrival of summer, traditional Chinese fans are experiencing a vibrant resurgence in popularity. Both round and folding fans have become essential accessories, not just for staying cool, but also for enhancing traditional Chinese attire with a touch of elegance.
One of the standout trends this season is the rise of DIY marbled fans. These artisanal creations, first developed as souvenirs for visitors to historical cities like Yangzhou, Luoyang, and Xi'an, are gaining widespread appeal across the Chinese mainland. The marbling process ensures that each fan is unique, showcasing intricate patterns that reflect individual artistry and craftsmanship.
As more people embrace the blend of practicality and cultural heritage, marbled Chinese fans are becoming a beloved staple in fashion and everyday life, celebrating tradition while adapting to modern styles.
