Ed. Obsession Under $20: Flirty fans

This V-Day, skip the texts and tweets and all things tech and send your crush a real message. And it gets better: Say it all with one quick swipe of your hand.


Beyond their intended cooling functions, folding fans are a renowned symbol of flirtation and coquetry. Centuries ago, Spanish women would use hand-painted folding fans called abanicos to communicate with the objects of their affection. A whole language was developed around the opening of the fan and its placement near the face or the heart. Books were published. It was a serious thing.


The folding fan isn’t as commonplace in today’s culture, but trust me, this graphic fan from ASOS will get your message across loud and clear. I say stash it in your locker so you can whip it out at just the right moment…and then see what happens. I’ll bet you’ll catch his eye.
