In 1964 our company invented and introduced the personal color shopping fan deck made from your large fabric swatches. Some clients prefer to shop with the large samples from their analysis. However, if you wish to go more compact, a hand-made portable fan deck may be ordered at the time of your analysis. Your shopping fan deck is not a pre-made product. Beware of imposters offering a "pre-made" fan deck. With John Kitchener, your shopping fan is completely customized being made from the large-sized fabric swatches provided in your analysis. Post-analysis fan deck orders are no longer available. The compact shopping fan's additional cost is $250.
