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.

These days, insulated picnic bags are an expectation rather than the exception. While classic wicker picnic baskets don’t always have insulation built-in – yet, many are including insulated inserts to add modern practicality to the classic design. We’ve covered the most beautiful and practical baskets in our wicker picnic basket edition and the most romantic in our picnic baskets for 2 edition.

Insulated picnic baskets don’t always have to be the classic wicker type either. Giving the picnic basket a modern makeover, cooler bags have evolved. Modern technology and materials, ergonomics, sturdy handles and closures and fashionable design are all core features. Some modern insulated picnic bags also feature a full picnic set with everything you need for your portable feast.
