Goodhope Wicker Picnic Basket | Fun Functional Vintage Straw Tote

56 sec read

Whilst autumn/winter trends may be here for the foreseeable future, I thought one last homage to good old summer was due. This vintage picnic basket is just the sort of fun yet functional summer item that makes those sunny days as fun as possible.

Built in typical retro straw bag style, this Goodhope tote is the epitome of kitsch with its patent red handles and cute gingham lining. At first glance it could be any of the vintage style straw bags that have been so popular this summer.

Of course when you look closer this pretty red tote has plenty of hidden functional extras. Around the outside is a strong outdoors-resistant canvas outer, with 6 pockets for plates and bits and pieces. It is a shame that the pockets don’t close to protect your china, and nor does the top seal with anything more than a bow.

That said, this is after all an amalgamation of handbag and picnic basket, with some features of one and some of the other. If you want a casual but pretty gingham bag with some added usefulness, then this brilliant excuse for a picnic will help you along. If you fancy a full blown family outing, however, you may want a bigger bag!
