The Little prince fan Blue/pink

Bamboo Fan – The Little Prince Pink / Blue :

Material: bamboo, fabric
Dimensions: 24 cm x 42 cm

These two delicately crafted and richly illustrated fans invite you on a poetic journey into the timeless world of The Little Prince, the masterpiece of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the Lyon-born writer and aviator. More than simple decorative accessories, each fan embodies an emotion, a suspended moment, a metaphor for life as the author imagined it — a blend of dreams, wonder, and tenderness.

The first fan, featuring a gentle gradient from powder pink to light beige, evokes the first light of dawn. Its pastel tones recall the purity and fragility of childhood, the central theme of The Little Prince. On its delicate folds appear the famous illustrations from the book: The Little Prince gazing at the stars, sitting by his flower, or watching a sunset. Each image, drawn in a style faithful to Saint-Exupéry’s own, captures the simplicity and depth of the story. This fan symbolizes the dawn — that moment when light is born, and dreams still merge with reality. It reflects the freshness of morning, a gaze filled with wonder upon the world.

The second fan, on the other hand, offers a completely different atmosphere. Its deep blue and violet hues blend into a gradient that evokes nightfall — that precious time for reflection and whispered confidences. The Little Prince appears seated on his small planet, gazing at the starry sky and the moon above him. Nearby, the fox — one of the most beloved characters in the story — watches over him with gentle affection. Together, they recall the great lessons of the book: friendship, responsibility, and the beauty that can only be seen with the heart. This nocturnal fan invites you to dream, to find calm, and to meditate on each person’s place in the universe.

Carefully made, these fans combine tradition and modernity. Their light bamboo frames are both delicate and sturdy, allowing for smooth, graceful movement. The pleated fabric, precisely printed, faithfully reproduces the colors and fine details of the original drawings. Each fold tells a story; each motion, when the fan is gently waved, seems to make the stars and memories of The Little Prince dance once more.

These fans are not mere souvenirs; they carry a deep cultural heritage. Lyon, the birthplace of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is celebrated here through an homage to both French artisanal tradition and one of the most beloved symbols in world literature. The Little Prince, translated into more than 646 languages, remains a universal ambassador of poetry, kindness, and tenderness.

The pink fan embodies light, freshness, and the gentle warmth of morning; the blue-toned one suggests depth, mystery, and the serenity of night. Together, they form a harmonious duo — two chapters of the same story: one opens the eyes to the beauty of the world, the other gently closes them to make way for dreams. Their pairing perfectly illustrates the balance between day and night, innocence and wisdom, childhood and adulthood.

Every detail matters: the fox whispers to the wind the words readers around the world have never forgotten — “One sees clearly only with the heart.” These fans become far more than summer accessories or tourist mementos; they transform into poetic objects, messengers of a simple and luminous philosophy of life.

The movement of the fabric as it opens and closes evokes the beating of a bird’s wings — or of a heart. It is as if each motion brings to life once again the dialogue between The Little Prince and his friends: the fox, the rose. Their story, universal and timeless, finds here a tangible, light, and graceful form that can be held in one’s hands.

These fans appeal as much to collectors as to lovers of poetic and meaningful objects. They can adorn a wall, complement a summer outfit, or serve as refined souvenirs from Lyon. They embody French elegance — the art of blending culture with the delicacy of gesture. In a world often rushed and noisy, they invite you to slow down, breathe, and rediscover that childlike wonder Saint-Exupéry urged us never to lose.

One could say that these two fans are like two verses of the same poem: one whispers of dawn, the other sings of night. Together, they form an ode to the beauty of simple things, the poetry of everyday life, and the power of imagination. Their presence soothes, inspires, and connects us to what truly matters — the gentle wind, the light of the sky, and the inner voice of The Little Prince, who continues to speak to us, again and always, through time.
