WELCOME TO MP
Modern Picnic was launched in 2018 with the mission to provide women with a chic alternative to the traditional lunchbox. We are a brand that is built on a foundation of functionality, sustainability + style.
OUR FOUNDER
After graduating from college in 2016, I moved into New York City to start my job in retail. Every day I would bring my lunch to work because of how much faster, cheaper + healthier it was. However, I quickly realized I did not have a chic or functional way to do so.
When I googled “lunchbox” I saw options for little kids, + for men, but nothing for women who wanted to look + feel their best
It was clear that the traditional lunchbox needed a makeover, and from there, Modern Picnic was born!
“You should go on Shark Tank” is something I’ve been told since I launched Modern Picnic, and I can’t believe it finally happened! Only a few years ago, I was shipping product out of my parents garage, so to see my small idea turn into something real, and be on Shark Tank (!!) feels like an absolute dream!
