How do I look after my ostrich feathers?
How do I look after my ostrich feathers?
Handle ostrich feathers gently with clean, dry hands and store them in a cool, dry place away from prolonged direct sunlight. Avoid crushing the feathers during storage. For light dust, gently shake or separate the feather fibers by hand. Avoid soaking natural feathers in water or applying strong cleaning products. If feathers become flattened, gently fluff them with your fingers or use light airflow from a hair dryer on a cool or low-warm setting from a safe distance. Inspect performance fans regularly for loose, bent, or damaged feathers before use.
How accurate are the colors shown online?
How accurate are the colors shown online?
We aim to show product colors as accurately as possible, but lighting, photography, editing, monitor calibration, and phone or computer displays can all affect how a color appears on screen. Natural feathers can also have slight variation between dye batches. If color matching is important for a costume or production, please contact us before ordering and provide a color reference.
What is the difference between acrylic and aluminum staves?
What is the difference between acrylic and aluminum staves?
Acrylic staves: lightweight, visually clean, and generally a more budget-friendly choice.
Aluminum staves: more durable and often preferred when stronger control and long-term performance use are priorities.
The best choice depends on the fan size, weight, performance style, budget, and the feel you prefer in your hands.
