HOT TREND: Making mobility stylish Classic Canes www.classiccanes.co.uk Walking stick specialists Classic Canes firmly believe that a user’s walking stick should reflect their sense of style as much as their mobility requirements. The familyowned firm is recommending ladies’ canes in cosy shades of brown, red and green. “Many a walking stick is bought to accessorise a new outfit,” says Managing Director Charlotte Gillan. “So, cane displays need to reflect the popular colours of the season.” New designs featuring motifs such as acorns, hedgehogs and mushrooms will make perfect accessories and are easily height-adjustable too.
