Fandango

It all started with a sweaty Tube ride.


Picture this: a scorching summer day in London, the air thick on the Underground, and me - desperately flapping a crumpled receipt in the vague hope of a breeze. I swore there and then - Next time, I’m bringing a fan. A real one. Something stylish, bold, and actually effective.

Fast forward to my search for the perfect hand fan… and cue disappointment. Everything I found felt outdated or lacked personality. Nothing matched my style, or the moment. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

And just like that, the idea for Fandango was born.
My mission? To bring fun, vibrant, on-trend, and bespoke designs to the humble handheld fan. Fandango isn’t just about staying cool, it’s about expressing yourself.

I’ve created a range that’s as bold, inclusive, and joyful as the people who carry them.
Whether you’re heading to a festival, a wedding, brunch or just braving the summer commute, your fan should match your vibe. That’s why our wooden fans come in collections designed for all sorts of moods and moments.

We’re here for every age, every background, every occasion. From playful patterns to chic, statement designs, there’s something for everyone and if there’s not yet, we’re working on it! Your feedback and ideas are at the heart of what we do, helping shape future collections that feel so fresh, so fun and so you. So go ahead - pick a fan that speaks your language. Show it off. Stay cool. And join the Fandango movement.
