Founded when Ben and Diana Porter discovered their Somerset woodland was naturally growing suitable raw material for wooden walking sticks, Classic Canes has been supplying high-quality canes to the trade since 1982. Over the years, the family-owned firm has grown to include over 700 different styles of walking sticks, folding canes, orthopaedic sticks, fashionable styles and collectors’ canes, always with the emphasis on function and fashion. With the company’s motto of ‘you cannot afford to buy cheap’ underpinning its approach to the market, Classic Canes constantly releases new styles to ensure it remains at the forefront of modern walking stick design, whilst still celebrating traditional models, sustainable production and woodworking skills. Recently, the company released new designs in association with the National Gallery, such as its National Gallery Bosschaert folding cane [pictured]. www.classiccanes.co.uk
