Introduction:

Fan Dance (Blue) - Pima Lawn was new to Fabworks in Summer 2021. Considered a very high-quality fabric originally made in South America, but finding its way to all corners of the globe due to its excellent strength, breathability and amazingly soft feel and weight; akin to lightweight silk. This is real luxury cotton.

These elaborate peacock and ostrich feather fans have intricately carved ivory handles and in the 16th century were favoured by the rich.
