Just got back from a trip to Paris, and all I wanted for my “souvenir” was a cute picnic basket. Looked all over and didn’t find one before we left, so I was determined to find one once we got home. I got this basket and the Parisian to compare, and I decided to keep the Parisian, and give the Promenade as a gift. Would give this 4.5 stars if it was an option.
On the plus side, this one came with the picnic supplies in the basket in cute little carrying bags. The basket bottom allows the bag to stand up easily without tipping, and I think it would take up less space to pack in luggage to take along on a trip (say, to Paris, where it was hard to find a picnic basket) and it was fairly comfortable to carry.
The only minuses for me were that while the silverware and plates were simple and cute, the plastic cups were underwhelming in terms of charm (but functional and won’t break) and the basket was a bit less comfortable under the arm than the Parisian which was the main reason I decided to keep the Parisian.
Overall, cute and functional!
