Founded in 1982 by Italian immigrants Gustavo Cosaro and Mario Tagliati, Picnic Time began in a Southern California garage with a simple mission: to bring the European tradition of leisure to America. Rooted in the founders’ memories of post-war Italy—where shared meals were a respite from hardship—the brand launched with traditional hand-woven picnic baskets that filled a gap in the US market. Today, it has evolved into a comprehensive family of lifestyle brands (including Oniva, Legacy, and Toscana) that covers everything from rugged camping gear to sophisticated barware.
