Readying itself for the summer, Gucci took cues from Japanese culture and created a variety of silk fans that come with different intricate images imbued on them.
One features a portrait of an owl, which takes over the vast majority of the white fan. With bright yellow eyes and detailed etchings of brown and black that mark the bird's feathers, the quality of the brand's creation is evident upon first glance.
One of the other silk fans comes with red Japanese characters written over black designs and another features Gucci's name along with a flower. All of the accessories are currently available from Bergdorf Goodman for pre-order, where each is priced between $250 and $450 USD.
