Walking cane was a great fashion accessory of many centuries. It perfectly demonstrated your status, style and character. And in this blog we want to tell you about some famous personalities with their walking canes.

For several centuries, canes were mainly worn for their style and expression. If you find yourself needing a cane in order to maintain balance, it’s also a great opportunity for self-expression.

Rather than being embarrassed by a cane, wear your cane with confidence and look up to these historical and fictional figures known for sporting classy walking sticks.

The witty and notoriously sarcastic Dr. Gregory House from the hit TV series “House” has helped launch the cane back into popular fashion in the last decade. His cane is one of the most popular walking cane styles of all time, the tourist-style, or crook-handle cane offers a comfortable grip and classic look that you are sure to love.

 The famous wartime British Prime Minister Winston Churchill always carried a cane and claimed to be “walking with destiny.”

When Churchill was young, it was fashionable to carry a walking stick. It was a fashion statement.Churchill’s was a wedding gift from King Edward VII, received when he (Churchill) was a spry 33 years old, in 1908. It wasn’t until 1953, when he had a stroke, that the walking stick became necessary.

The zany chocolatier from the classic children’s book Charlie and The Chocolate Factory would be incomplete without his cane.

Gene Wilder starred in the original 1971 “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” but he only did so under one condition.

“When I make my first entrance, I’d like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp,” he said, according to Letters of Note. “After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I’m walking on and stands straight up, by itself; but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane. I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause.”

When asked why, he responded, “Because from that time on, no one will know if I’m lying or telling the truth.”

As we know now, his request was granted, and that one scene is now one of the most memorable in the film.
