This is a very stylish, high quality walking stick. The rouge-noir acrylic handle feels wonderfully smooth in the hand and provides excellent support. The shaft is made from lightweight aluminum, which is strong and very light. It is wrapped in a sealed, patterned fabric, which gives the shaft a lovely, slightly textured appearance. The pattern features Chinoiserie-style flowers pink, yellow, blue, green and white with gold highlights on a black background. The stick is height-adjustable between 80-90cm (approximately 31.5″-35.5″), and is fitted with a smart brass collar and a non-slip rubber ferrule.
