Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

Perfect bag for a reason! Great fabric & size Lots of cute colors We like 'em in every size!

How can you go wrong with this classic? Lately I've been gifting these to use for storing golf accessories - extra tees, balls, socks, snacks, gloves, etc. The new canvas holds the bag open so it fits perfectly behind the seat in the car. Everyone loves them!

I use these for groceries and they are PERFECT. Our county implemented a Bag Tax, where they charge 5 cents per bag if you do not bring your own. The store reusable bags are fine, but not washable. I purchased two of these during Covid - one Medium and one Large to see how they'd hold up and they are wonderful for this purpose. I'm back here to purchase two more! I purchase groceries for my elderly dad, and for my own family. These totes hold an amazing amount of items, and don't get unwieldy. I love being able to wash them (hello, Covid!) and they hold their shape well, plus wash up nicely if there are any spills or stains from blueberries or whatever. I own several totes from the other company that makes similar canvas bags (initials LE) and the LL Bean ones blow those out of the water, especially as grocery bags. The 'other' totes have pockets on the inside, which just get in the way. Plus, they have a metal clip which is more of a hassle when I throw them in the washing machine. These are more pricey than the cheap reusable grocery bags at the store, but they are worth every penny. I actually think when you consider how they hold up and how many uses I've gotten out of them, plus the fact that I can throw them in the washing machine(!!) - they are an excellent deal. The Medium size is perfect for my Dad's groceries, and the long handles make it easy for him to carry. Love that they offer the option of both sizes in handles, and I personally prefer the long handles also for grocery shopping. I can't recommend these enough!!

love it. It holds everything. Well made!! USA!!!!

This new bag will join a 20 year old LLBean bag on our boat. They are tough as well as beautiful. It was also a nice touch to get a signed card from the person who made this tote.

What can I say? There's no room for improvement with this LLBean staple. You just can't go wrong. Sturdy, well-made and even better with a monogram. Never change this staple!

My ten year old great nephew appreciated the camo tote.

Over the years, I have purchased approximately 25 of these bags. They are my "go to" gift for the birth of a child, monogrammed with his/her name. To say these gifts are a "hit" is an understatement. I highly recommend these canvas bags, especially monogrammed. You won't be disappointed !

I needed a durable bag to bring a blanket and other items to dialysis 3 times a week and the extra large size is Perfect! I even got it engraved with my name and it is so cute! I've gotten so many compliments Love it!

I bought this tote for my mother for Mother's Day! My whole childhood I remember my parents having a couple of the larger boat and totes for when we went places. They somehow got lost when we moved (which was at least 15 years ago now), so I decided to get her another one because I know how much she loved those old ones. I got her the medium mineral red color and she loved the new color. She uses it for her work bag now and absolutely loves it. She loves the medium size, it's perfect for all of her work stuff, her lunchbox, smaller purse, and other items fit in it perfectly!

I have had one in the past >25 years ago or so and I was very pleased with the durability and strength. The bag lasted for many years. I look forward to using this bag every bit as much as the "old one" was.

We use these bags to courier books around our county and they are durable and last forever!

The long handles make it super convenient, and the bag is so structured and well-made you'll never have to replace it!

Got this bag as a gift for my cousin's birthday. It is beautiful and she loves it! Even monogrammed, it came really fast. Glad I got it!

This is not my first purchase. I have a medium and now the large for groceries.

I bought the large size tote for my daughter as a birthday gift! She is always carrying everything to the pool or beach and I knew this would be perfect! Love LL Bean

I needed something sturdy to hold my work files and desk items on the weekend so we could have our kitchen table back. I love these totes anyway and the large is perfect for my needs!

The price was reasonable, delivery was fast and the item was in stock I have bought an number of times from LL Beam and I happy by there products

I purchased this tote and had it monogrammed for my sister and her future husband as they just purchased a boat. I have this tote myself and it is perfect for boating or going to the beach or pool. It holds many towels, sunscreen, and other odds & ends, such a pool toys for the kids. I have had had mine for 7 years and it is still holding up great! I was glad to see that they added a version with longer straps which makes carrying it much easier.

I like to buy fancy purses but so many times I am worried about putting them down in something or getting scratched. I love my boat and totes. I own a medium with long handles and 2 large with regular handles. The medium stays standing so searching through my purse is easy. Also I do not worry about what I need to carry in it. Here is a picture of my medium with navy handles and my grandmother's large with orange. I don't know how old hers is, I only know it was used for decades to carry the linens to the cottage.

I was given this exact tote as a going away present 20 years ago. The handle finally was fraying enough it was time to retire the tote. I ordered the exact same tote including the engraving. It arrived in a timely matter and is perfect. I use it every work day to transport files, water bottles and all the usual stuff many of us carry. I absolutely LOVE this tote and would recommend it to any and all who are looking for an open-top medium sized durable tote. Keep up the good work!

This tote is beautifully made, sturdy and nice to look at. It holds lots of stuff. Can't wait to use it at the pool and beach. I bought one for my daughter, too!

I've purchased over 6 tote bags of various sizes, tho most have the long handle. I love them. The color options are varied, of course, but they wear beautifully & don't look old or well used [which several are!!]

I have ordered many small tote bags over the years. I purchased the totes for gifts for new babies. Monogram names on them makes a special bag. The small bag is a great size. I would like to order colors in the small size that are available in the Medium and Large sizes..

The large bag is perfect for all of Teddy's gear - sometimes even Teddy! It fits everything we need and is very comfortable. The bag feels super durable and I know we will be using it for many years!
