The classic picnic set saw a massive transformation with the introduction of picnic backpacks – a picnic design we personally love. But now, we are seeing the classic picnic hamper catch up to modern picnic needs and the formerly ugly cooler bag become more of a design statement than mere practicality as we see with the gorgeous collapsible picnic baskets on the market.
