silk fans

Aradia · 08-22-2007, 02:15 AM

Anyone know who sells those silk fans, they look like a veil is attached to the end of a fan?

Hi Aradia,
If you put "silk fan" ( without the commas) into the search facility, you can find several threads about them.

I have some for my show , But can't remember where I got them. Someone was selling them at Cairo Carnivale.

I'm just in the process getting some from Faye: faye@faye4u.com
She doesn't have them on her page but she can send you pics and which colors and sizes she has in stock.

I know I've seen some on E-bay before sold very cheaply direct from China.....also try Meleea - her website is at www.beledi.com - she sells them too I believe.

Hope you find what you're looking for!

This is what I found on ebay. Don't look that pretty like the ones from Faye but seem to be MUCH cheaper.

i have the red/yellow set & in person they are just like the ones sold by jenna & i saw at CC. the photos aren't great. i recommend this seller. tina

I can highly recommend that seller too. I have the lavender/turquoise. I initially ordered one, just to check out the quality & was so impressed I immediately ordered a second. Including shipping from China they were each under $16 and arrived in just one week.

There is no pale white-ish area between the two colors as it may appear in the pic. The colors flow very nicely from one to the next.

The only problem I have, is they are both 'right-handed' fans. So it's more difficult for me to keep the left one open. I don't know if there's a way to remove the pin & re-orient it or not. Guess I'll just have to work on the strength & flexibility of my left hand.

Wow!! thanks for all the information, I've seen a few dancers use them on video and they look really pretty, so I wanted to give them a try!!

tattood1 · 08-22-2007, 11:52 AM

yup the photos are washed out. i think mine are similiar to a'kai veils. very firy looking.

re; right hand. THAT'S why i have problems with them. i couldn't figure out why my left hand was having a hard time.

i bid/bought one and then asked for another another to be added to the order & i got the whole thing with shipping for $28.00. tina

Aradia · 08-22-2007, 12:07 PM

I'm interested if anyone figures out a way to make one of them a left handed fan, I just ordered a set!!
