Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

This one was a replacement for one that I carried daily back and forth to work for the last seven years. New one appears to be as sturdy as the old one. Nothing wrong with the old one except it was looking a bit soiled after I spilled stuff in it so I'll use it for things outside around the house.

I take the bus when I go grocery shopping, so it is good to have a big and strong tote bag to carry things in. I will also be able to use it for other things. I don't have to worry about the straps breaking.

I ordered this bag as a gift for my sister and had it monogrammed with the name her grandchildren call her. She was delighted with the size and quality of the bag. Excellent product!

Best Buy I ever had! I got my initial embroidered and drag my tote everywhere, the larger one is waiting for summer!

I love this bag! I use it as my diaper bag with the insert from Litzy ritzy that was made specifically for this bag and it is PERFECT! Honestly the best choice I made because I can easily convert this bag in to our picnic bag, our beach bag, our over night bag... the list goes on. BONUS is that I can fit ALL three of my kids stuff inside. I have two in diapers and the infant always needs a change of clothes and then lets not forget all of the wipes, creams, lotions, and sunscreen that have to be inside at all times. It is a lot and it all fits!

I bought four of these for grocery bags. WE LOVE them. They are very durable, easy to clean and we get so many compliments. I recommend the long handles. LLBean please don't stop making these!

My grandson and I vist the library weekly. We needed a bag that that could hold all the books he takes out. It works great and he loves that I had his name embroidered

I purchased this item for my friend's bridal shower. I was unable to make it so I mailed the item to her. She immediately called me once she received it and said it was a very thoughtful gift. I had this bag engraved with her new initials and I guess it was an instant gift winner.

The same rugged product that we have used for decades.

Outstanding merchandise & service! Will last a life time!

Bought three of these bags as gifts! Momgrammed as well! They were all perfect and the recipients were thrilled!! Thank you LLBean for fast Service and quality products!!!

I recently bought a bag for work and I loved it so much I wanted to give it to my bridesmaids as part of their gift for helping me with my special day. I can't wait for them to be a part of my special day and couldn't think of a better way to thank them than with a bag that will last for a lifetime.

Recent regulation in Chicago requires consumers to bring their own bags when shopping (even for things like cleaning products). This can be a problem if one impulsively shops for bargains and ends up with more than expected. Well, this bag is the answer. It can easily live in the trunk of the car, and it is quite large, and extremely sturdy.

This bag is extremely sturdy and well-made. It holds all our beach towels and stands upright. It is very reasonable in price, especially compared with other beach bags available. The only caveat: a zippered inner pocket for small items would be a very useful addition

I bought this bag for my son who brings his dirty laundry home on weekends. After several plastic laundry baskets broke/split, I got him this extra large canvas bag to haul laundry, and it's working great! It's easier to transport and holds more than a stiff, bulky basket, and the long handles make it easy to carry even when overstuffed. This is a good, heavy-duty canvas bag that will hold up for years :)

awesome as usual! the best bags ever.

Love this bag, I must own 5 of them. They are perfect for just about anything from the beach to work. Very well made and love that LL Bean stands behind there products!!

I have enjoyed using these bags for many, many years. With a lifetime guarantee, you cannot go wrong. I have used mine at a countless number of used book sales and have brought home hundreds of books, all toted in these bags. One is not enough - my husband and I have 6 - and we use them for everything, especially when we travel from state to state. Clothes, toiletry bags, cameras, laptops, food, bottles, shoes, towels - everything is safely hauled around. They are as rugged as can be. My favorite is the camouflage one - with my name embroidered on it! Thanks, L.L. Bean, for a super product.

LOVE this bag. It has been on my wishlist for a while and when I received a gift card over the holidays I decided it was time to order. I got the large size in Navy with a monogram and it is perfect. I keep it in my car and use it for groceries but you can really use it for anything. My MIL has an extra large bag and she says it is sometimes a little too big but I love the large size that I have. It fits almost everything without being gigantic to carry. Durable and easy to clean, I love love love this bag. I don't know what I did without it and plan on ordering another in a smaller size for other uses.

I bought this for an upcoming cruise in the summer because I wanted something I could carry ALL my stuff in but still get in as a carry-on (I've worn my V.B. Duffel to death lol). This is exquisitely crafted and shipped quickly. I love all the attention to detail & my monogramming is perfect! If I had an excuse to buy another, I definitely would. You will not be sorry! It is super sturdy, holds all sorts of things without ever mismolding the bag or putting strain on the straps. It folds up nicely & sits upright as well when opened. I love it. 10/10!

This is, no joke, probably the 15th Boat and Tote bag that I have purchased in the past 30 years for gifts and/or for myself. I LOVE them. Even with monogramming, they arrive quickly. I enjoy ordering the custom bags and wanted to do so with my most recent purchase but wanted more colors to choose from than what was currently offered. I ended up just going with the basic black and white one this time. PLEASE come out with more custom color choices!!! I would have ordered one in a heartbeat even though they are more expensive. I love to order the custom large tote with the zip top and pocket for baby showers. The moms LOVE them. Please consider adding the pocket option to the basic tote bags. Thank you, LL Bean for these indestructible bags. I use mine every single day.

What more can I say, I always wanted one of these canvas totes ever since I was a young kid. My father used one to carry 24 lb blocks of ice over the sand dunes to a friend's cabin until the ice box no longer kept a tight close. I ordered a large and was a bit concerned it wouldn't be big enough from the dimensions given, but when it arrived it is exactly what I wanted. Can't wait to use it for our summer vacation to the Cape, or whatever other use I can think of.

Have one in every size from old to new. My oldest one I have had for too many years to remember still in as good of shape as my newer ones. Highly recommend for every use imaginable!

This is my 2nd LLBean tote. The 1st one was given to me over 25 years ago by my aunt and although handles are starting to fray, I still use it every week food shopping. I bought this one because carrying a full laundry basket down to the cellar has become difficult. This holds the equivalent of the basket and makes it easy to transport the laundry. I love it! Highly recommend it.

Sturdy bag...Large size is perfect for any outdoor / travel events. Good color selections. Shorter handle perfect for toting.
