Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Everyday Lightweight Large Plaid Tote

It is light. It is a perfect medium size for daily running around. However, it needs more pockets. The base is a perfect size to carry multiple things, but it needs more pockets. There, I said it again. I had to add additional small pouches.

Super cute bag. The only reason I subtracted a star is that the bag is not fabric. It's a plasticky type of material & it makes a crinkle noise. I've used the bag for a while and I like it. But it does feel a bit cheap due to the plastic type fabric. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Funny that the price tag was on the bag and I paid 10.00 more online.

Love it! But the handles could be just a tad longer.. otherwise a great tote!

Iightweight and roomy. Easy to carry and packable. Great plaid colors

This is a well-made and attractive tote. I like the interior zipper pocket and zipper closing. I agree with other reviewers that the handles are too short to be worn comfortably over the shoulder, which is how I plan to carry it. I bought the medium size.

Love this bag! Perfect size and so durable. It goes everywhere with me. The gray check large bag isn't the same color/shade as a medium bag I purchased last year. I wanted them to be a matched set so alittle disappointed but it's not a deal breaker.

Perfect design and color. Ideally received well before Christmas. Many thanks.

A very nice bag. I purchased it for a Christmas gift to a family member. Well made, durable with just enough style to make me feel about my choice for gift giving!

I like the weight of it. The only thing I dislike is the length of the handles/straps. I like to be able to put a bag over my shoulder in one motion and I can't with this bag. It feels too tight to use it on my shoulder and I had wanted to use it that way to carry things to and from work.

Not free standing as photos show. Flimsy and collapses. Nice bag, just not right for me, and photos are a little misleading.

Loved it but didn't realize when I ordered that it had such a short handle. Why wouldn't you put a longer strap on it? Who isn't going to want to carry a bag like that on their shoulder? It would be too large to carry in hand comfortably. Had to return.

Nice bag. Large. Purchased as gives for two stylish women in their 30's.

I would give this 5 stars if they made one with a longer handle drop. Great lightweight bag

I purchased it for a Xmas gift. As far as I could tell it seemed of a very good quality.

Nice, but too big. This medium tote is too big, and the mini tote is too tiny. A size in between these two would be perfect. Otherwise, it's a really nice tote. Nice and lightweight.

This my third purchase of an Everyday Lightweight Tote. I am done with heavy bags and this one feels practically weightless when stuffed with work gear. The bag is attractive and looks great after weeks of daily use. I wish the width at the top would be a wee bit wider to more easily slide 8.5x11 papers into/out of the bag. There is plenty of room inside of the bag but the way the zipper is attached reduces the width at the top.

Perfect to keep my store grocery bags in my car. I keep my tote behind the drivers seat so they are all in one place. Works perfectly; if I need room, easy just to pick up the tote and throw it in the trunk. * only wish it came in the "Smith" plaid from 2020.

Great bag to use as a carryon bag when traveling! Love the Buffalo check.

I bought this tote as as gift and the person never got my gift message. I had to ask her if she got it and she loves it and had no idea it was from me. Even though the Tote is very nice. It's disappointing when the gift card doesn't go along with it.

I like the size, not too big but holds a lot of "stuff". Being on the road all the time I seem to carry anything I may need during the day. The only problem is trying to locate something inside (especially while driving)! Maybe if there were compartments or another pocket for smaller items it may be easier. Or a smaller, matching tote to place inside to hold small items. Had a wristlet and bag in Buffalo Plaid which worked well. Only peeve is that for some unknown reason LLB feels the need to blast their name on everything. It's gone way beyond overboard with the logo. Not a product enhancement at all.

I loved the plaid on this when it came. The bag itself is about the size of a small Vera tote from VB but the handles were way too short for me to put on my shoulder. I am plus size and my arms need at least a 12" handle drop to comfortably wear that way. I was pretty bummed to have to return it. It is too bad they don't make a "long handle" version of these.

I love the bag .the material, structure, BUT I find that the straps are too short for me to sling it over my shoulder. I was so DISSAPOINTED that I left the tags on it. I'm considering returning it.

Very lightweight.

Having just returned from Scotland, this tote caught my eye. It is perfect for my holiday travel to carry those extra gifts in. It fits nicely in tight plane storage and is easy to fit on the top of pull luggage when walking the airport. My only complaint is that I wish it had a way to put a lock on the zipper.
