Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

This is a great bag, perfect for beach, picnic , etc.

Whether I need a gift for a baby, teacher, graduate, friend, etc....my go to is a boat tote. I got my first one over 32 years ago and I still use it. I love being able to give a personalized gift for a reasonable price. My niece loved being able to easily recognize her girls' bags at preschool.

I gave the medium-sized canvas tote bag to my daughter as a gift. She loved it, and has told me that the bag is the perfect size for a day at the beach- towel, book, water bottle, sunscreen and snacks fit easily. She also loves the sturdy fabric and the monogram!

very pleased with my purchase. well made, stands up and is monogrammed for each grandchild to fill up. fast delivery.

This isn't your flimsy campus orientation canvas tote. It's beautifully sturdy and well-crafted. As soon as I picked it up, I could immediately tell that a lot of time was put into making these totes, and I'm confident that it will age well over the years. This is my first Boat and Tote, but I'm definitely going to buy more in the future!

I adore this bag in all sizes and colors. I have every size bag myself. It first, was given to me as a baby gift. Now it is my go to baby gift for family and friends. I often fill it up with goodies. Everyone I have given it to also loves the bag. I get them monogram to make it personal. I also suggest getting the long handle for the large and extra large bags otherwise they are difficult to carry.

Great bags for any occasion. They make wonderful baby gifts to carry gear in. Especially nice when you have the baby's name printed on it.

Highest quality, sturdy, heavy duty canvas tote. I am very pleased with this product and would order any of them at a future date.

I gave this as a baby gift embroidered with initials bc it was one of my favorite gifts I received. Was so impressed with LL Bean. Ordered it on a Wednesday afternoon and it arrived on Friday morning.

A beautiful well made tote that I believe will last for many years.

I have so far purchased three of these canvas totes in varying sizes, open and zip top and find them to be the highest quality. They are tough as well as attractive especially when monogrammed. They make great gifts for moms of young children as well as carrying essentials to and from the office. I highly recommend these totes! Medium seems to be the best choice for everyday carry.

Not something you would necessarily purchase for yourself, but should consider! We were very proud to give this as a gift, and the recipient was thrilled. So glad we went with the longer handles, and the monogram made it extra special. As the recipient stated, it will probably outlast him! Very happy with our purchase, and highly recommend.

Bought my first one 34 years ago used it for my daughter's diaper bag then camping and everything in between! Just bought two monogrammed large totes for neices wedding gifts, so they can start their own tote adventures!

This bag is the best, bought before and will probably buy more in future. They don't wear out, just keep getting a bigger family with lots of stuff to carry, and this is the bag! This is the bag all others want to be.

After my daughter received this as a Baby Shower Gift, she raved about how useful and handy it was. I then bought one for a co-worker who was thrilled with it.

This is a terrific bag. It is large so be aware if size matters to you. No zipper, just a soft canvas open bag with good handles. I can imagine given the materials and construction that this bag may be passed on to the next generation. We have already overstuffed it and it didn't even hint there might be any problem. Need a bag? Get this one.

I purchased the open Boat n Tote for my grandson with his name monogrammed on the front. I have purchased Boat n Tots for each on by grandkids. The kids will fill their totes with toys to bring with them whenever they come to Grandma's house. When it is time to return home, they collect their toys and bring them home again. Always handy to have a Boat n Tote around the house.

This is a high quality bag that you can use for many things.

This is the perfect little tote. I have a small clutch purse which carries my essentials -- but that's all. I put my purse in my tote along with some other items (bottle of water, hand cream, tissues, eye drops, mints, etc.) so that I have them in case I need them. However, I leave the tote in the car -- taking only my clutch purse into stores, restaurants, etc. This way I can always run to the car if I need one of those other items in an emergency but without having to lug them around in a large purse. For me, this is the perfect solution. Made well -- much better than the cheaper versions I've tried.

For a number of years I have had the medium size tote. When I found I needed a small tote, fist place I went was LLBean. I just love their totes.

Ordered my medium open top tote bag in peony (with monogram) this past Sunday and received today (Tuesday!). Unbelievably quick service! The monogram adds that perfect extra touch to the tote thanks to Ryan, my stitcher. This is the perfect sized tote for library books, small trips to the market, work lunches or anything really. Very pleased and will be ordering matching totes in larger sizes.

Bought this for my Singer Featherweight. Her name is Eldoris. She is a 221 from 1949 and she loves her Boat and Tote. No worries about the handle breaking off of the case. Wish I had remembered to get her name embroidered on the bag, that's my bad. Love the Tote, this is my fourth tote, 2 being gifts for friends.

I have used these bags for years for Wedding gifts and New babies and birthdays!!!!!! It always is a useful welcome addition to to any family.

I've always had one of your totes and totally love them. Just felt the need to get a new one in another color. Love all the ways this tote comes in handy.

I bought two of these bags with embroidery as wedding gifts and they came beautifully made and exactly what I hoped for. I'm very impressed with the quality and will probably be ordering myself one soon! Definitely recommend!
