The Brand Making Lunch Boxes Stylish
When I was in secondary school I ate packed lunches and while, at first, I may have utilised a bag designed specifically for holding my sandwich, it wasn’t long before I found myself employing the use of old plastic bags from the supermarket. The truth is that, for many, packed lunches don’t end with the education system, and continue to be a daily motion for countless office workers and parents. If you are lucky enough to work in a building that supplies lunch, it probably isn’t all that delicious, and buying food out just for lunch can be extortionate so instead, you simply bring your own. However, now you have to grapple with what to carry your food in! You can’t exactly use a square metal superman lunchbox. Well, you can, but you may be after something a little more stylish.
Modern Picnic is an American brand launched in 2018 making lunchboxes chic and part of your overall outfit. While the inside of these bags works like any other insulating lunch box, the outside resembles that of your bog-standard handbag that one wouldn’t take a second glance at. Coming in a variety of different shapes, sizes and colours these bags take clear inspiration from classic designs from high-end brands such as Gucci and Hermès. With a distinctly classic feel, each and every bag is versatile and would work with almost any outfit, formal or relaxed.
When you have a busy life, keeping organised can be a struggle, but these bags may be able to aid you. All products are equipped with elastic silverware slots, back pockets, interior pockets, removable straps and more enabling you to keep all your food neatly together. Oh and, of course, in case of any inevitable spills, all surfaces can be easily wiped down.
The only downside to these genius bags is perhaps the price tagged attached to them, with the smallest bag ‘The Pouch’ coming in at $69 and the largest priced at $210. On the one hand, these seem like expensive bags, and they are, but considering their durability, timeless design and ease of use the price seems worthy.
For those interested in sustainability, you’ll be more than pleased to know that all the bags are made using vegan leather. While the Modern Picnic website does not include much information about their impact on the environment, it can be safely said that splashing out and buying one of these bags is far better than relying on plastic bags and packaging from other shops. The brand also works with and supports a variety of charities and organisations including The Trevor Project.
Whether you’re commuting to the city office every day or need to carry snacks constantly for your young children, the Modern Picnic bags may be the perfect accessory for you. They are certainly an investment piece, but one that will certainly make you feel fabulous!
