Picnicking has never been more popular. Whether young or old, with family or friends, everyone likes to get together over a lunch on the grass. The popularity of outdoor dinners, “dinners in white,” and huge picnics continues to grow. To make this open-air meal a cherished moment, les Jardins de la Comtesse recreates the atmosphere from picnics of yesteryear by creating chic and elegant hand-woven picnic baskets.
New this year
The Prestige Champs Élysées line in wicker and genuine leather.
The wicker is double-steamed, giving it a particular honey colour. The plates are genuine porcelain, and the cutlery is polished stainless steel.
The straps are made of stitched, double grain leather in the grand tradition of baskets from the past.
The dark green monogrammed fabric accentuates its traditional look.
With condensed luxury, tradition and refinement, this line of picnic hampers is perfect for an open-air meal.
It is a perfect companion for those who love old coupes or convertibles and those who like authentic items.
Available for 2 people (€179), 4 people (€229) or 6 people (€295)

When you feel like getting away, this is the ideal basket. A light wicker basket and a braided rope make this basket an essential element for lunch on the beach or a ride on the seas...

The insulated interior compartment’s straps hold a bottle. A waterproof blanket completes the ensemble.
