Title: Maybe you can help
Post by: Joyce on February 18, 2014, 11:29:19 PM: I'm looking to purchase a small folding fan to put in my handbag, in case of flushing. Nothing to fussy, but no bigger than 15cm in length when folded . I have several fans already, but only one is small enough & is looking rather worn these days. I have searched online but nearly all are around 23cm in length. Accessorise used to have little dainty ones, but no longer. Many come as wedding favors, and as such are sold in bulk. I only need one.

Any ideas ladies?

amazon has lots of small fans for a couple of pound each, you have spurred me into buying one as the battery operated ones always seem to somehow switch on in my bag and when i go to use it the batteries are dead!
