SOUL is an XL 6 to 8 person blanket equipped with bass wood surfaces for serving or entertainment and is built to be stored into the bottom of its own picnic tote. Made from custom weather proof taslan, a soft yet waterproof material, both the bag and blanket are machine washable and built for any environment. When a hard surface is needed for drinks or food, the lightweight basswood coasters and trifold table provide a sturdy solution—easily packed into the same tote. For added versatility, the bag can be carried two ways: over the shoulder with long straps or by hand with short straps. Sized like a weekender bag, SOUL is large enough to carry everything you need for your big group.
