This piece in our Picnic Season x Melanie MacIlwain collab collection is a reproduction of an acrylic on canvas artwork. Our reproduction captures the beautiful detail of the acrylic paint, as well as the texture of the canvas on which this artwork was created.

Melanie is a self taught painter who lives on Gunditjmara Land, South West of Victoria.

She pays homage to childlike expressions by using bright colours with the intent to investigating its quality when used fast and slow.

Her finalised abstract artworks are a contemplative record of ideas, directions and errors that aggregate a rhythm of the natural world.

Hello, party season! From picnics to dinner parties and everything in between, look no further.

You've just found THE ultimate every day carry basket.

IT'S REALLY COOL

• Fully insulated, heat sealed, leak-proof lining keeps food and drinks cool when you’re on the go

IT’S EASY TO CLEAN

• Waterproof inner lining contains spills and makes wiping clean a breeze. Polyester outer does not have a teflon coating. Zip lid area is not waterproof so remember to keep your basket upright when in use

LOAD IT UP

• NEW! The super-strong velcro attachments have been upgraded and are now wider than before for extra frame coverage and support, and are now finished beautifully with the matching print. Aluminium frame holds up to 15kg.
• The Miss Moresby, Melanie MacIlwain, Maralma King and Alysha Sparks baskets are bigger than other designs! They're wider by an extra 2cm and taller by an extra 3cm, giving you more room for all your picnic goodies.

FOLD IT DOWN

• Lightweight and collapsible with four removeable support struts and a handy carry bag for simple storage

USE IT YOUR WAY

• Fully removeable zip lid and comfy padded handles make it the ultimate every day carry basket

IT HAS A HANDY ZIP POCKET
