Fun Attributes
A folding fan is a handheld accessory that keeps you cool when the temperature climbs — whether you're deep in a summer festival crowd, stuck on a packed terrace, or just running warm indoors. This one opens to a full spread of printed ganja leaves on fabric, snaps shut to pocket size, and weighs next to nothing. Simple, effective, and it looks the part.
Currently available in one variant: Ganja Leaves. The print covers the full fan surface with a repeating cannabis leaf pattern on a coloured background. It's not subtle — and that's the point.

Complete your kit: If you're heading to a festival or outdoor session, pair this folding fan with a smell-proof stash bag and a decent rolling tray. Keeps everything tidy, portable, and ready to go. You can buy all three together and save yourself the last-minute scramble before a weekend away.
A folding fan is the most weight-efficient personal cooling tool you can carry — under 50 g, no batteries, and it generates an immediate breeze the moment you open it. We've been shipping orders from Amsterdam since 1999, and every summer the same thing happens: temperatures push past 30 °C, festival fields turn into ovens, and everyone suddenly remembers that air conditioning doesn't exist outdoors. According to EMCDDA harm-reduction guidance, staying cool at outdoor events is one of the simplest steps for reducing heat-related health risks in crowded settings.
The honest limitation? It won't replace a proper fan if you're sitting at a desk for 8 hours. Your wrist will get tired. But for bursts of cooling — queueing for food, waiting between sets, sitting in a warm coffeeshop — nothing beats it. Compared to those tiny USB neck fans that weigh around 200 g and die after roughly 3 hours, a folding fan weighs under 50 g, never runs out of battery, and slides into your back pocket when you don't need it. We'd pick this over a battery gadget every time for day-out use.
From Our Counter: Last King's Day a customer walked in wearing three USB fans around his neck like some kind of cyberpunk necklace — all dead by 2 PM. He bought two of these ganja leaf folding fans, handed one to his mate, and they both survived the Vondelpark crowds until sunset. Sometimes the oldest technology is still the best. If you want to order one before festival season hits, don't wait until June — that's when stock tends to thin out.
The ganja leaf print is a conversation starter too. At festivals and smoke sessions, it signals exactly where you stand. It's a small, cheap accessory that pulls double duty: keeps you cool and adds a bit of personality to your look. The fabric feels smooth against your palm and the bamboo ribs give it a satisfying snap when you flick it open — there's a reason this design has been around for centuries. Research from Beckley Foundation reports on cannabis culture note that visible cannabis iconography at events fosters a sense of community among enthusiasts, and this fan does exactly that without saying a word.
Using a folding fan takes about 5 seconds to learn: grip the base, flick your wrist, and wave in a steady rhythm for the best airflow. Here's the full breakdown so you get it right from the first try.
The fan spans roughly 40 cm when fully open — enough to move a decent amount of air across your face and neck. Folded, it's about 23 cm long and flat enough for a trouser pocket.
Fabric stretched over bamboo ribs. It's more durable than paper fans, which tend to tear after a few uses. The fabric also holds the print better and doesn't go soggy if your hands are sweaty.
A damp cloth wipe is the safest approach. Submerging it in water can loosen the glue holding the fabric to the ribs and fade the ganja leaf print. Spot-clean only.
Yes. Folded, it's roughly the length of a large smartphone (about 23 cm) and much thinner. It slides into jacket pockets, cargo shorts, bum bags, and most festival pouches without any trouble.
It is. Moving air across your skin accelerates sweat evaporation, which is your body's main cooling mechanism. Studies on thermal comfort show that even a light breeze of 1 m/s can make ambient temperature feel 3–4 °C cooler on exposed skin. You won't drop your core temperature dramatically, but in a hot crowd the difference between stagnant air and a breeze is immediately noticeable.
With normal use — festivals, nights out, summer days — a bamboo and fabric fan lasts one to two full seasons easily. The ribs are the most durable part; the fabric or the pivot pin tends to give first if anything does.
You can buy this folding fan directly from Azarius. We ship from Amsterdam and have been doing so since 1999. Get yours before summer stock runs low — these move fast once temperatures climb past 25 °C.
