Svarovsky canes (self.Blind)
submitted by nan02127
Is there a way to get Svarovsky white canes in the US? Their website is www.svarovsky.cz as they are in the Czech Republic. Friends in Ireland and the UK swear buy them, but they can’t be had in the US. Grrrr

I bought a really cool combination telescoping/folding cane from Svarovsky in 2019 that I used until the handle broke. It was great while it lasted. Imagine a regular sectioned folding cane, but with a handle that you could raise or lower for length.

I bought it directly from svarovsky by emailing my order and paying through Paypal. I just used Chrome's Google Translate feature to read the website in English to figure out what I wanted to buy. They were very nice, but it took a few messages back and forth to get all the details confirmed. Shipping took a few weeks.

Ambutech graphite canes with a ceramic tip are just as well constructed, lightweight and reliable. I probably wouldn't personally spend the money and time on this again.
