Ethically acquired feathers are sourced for your project, followed by cleaning, trimming and treatment.
Stacked threadwork is used to decorate the stem of each feather, often using a palette to complement the natural tones of your feathers.
Every feather is extended and reinforced with carbon fibre rod -chosen to give your fan optimal strength and flexibility.
A metal band is used to decorate each feather, with a choice of plated or solid options to match your design.
Loose fans are strung together using semi-precious stones like opals, allowing like feathers to expand and collapse like a bird's tail.
Every feather converges at the ‘holder’ part of the fan - a proprietary element 3D printed from a corn-derived biopolymer.
Using the finest Japanese glass ‘seed’ beads, measuring just 1.5mm in diameter. Every handle uses around 3000 beads, stitched one-by-one.
Fans are wrapped in super soft deerskin leather, which will develop a unique patina with use.
