Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

We love this large bag, it makes grocery shopping easier for large items.

When I first got my xtra large open top tote bag from LL Bean years ago, I didn't like it. It was too stiff and didn't fold into a small footprint. Then I moved to the Pacific Northwest where wood-fired fireplaces are a necessity. Hauling split logs to stoke the fire was always cumbersome and messy. The totes are perfect to bring an evening's worth of fuel in from the wood shed or to carry wood upstairs to the 2nd floor fireplace. The totes are sturdy and keep the house clean from wood debris. The extra long straps allow me to carry the tote over my shoulder for extra heft. I LOVE MY TOTE!! I highly recommend for outdoor use especially camping and boating. I have gifted them to several of my nieces.

I've sent XL bags as baby gifts and gotten effusive thanks. No one believed they could fill such a bag with baby gear, but they can.

We take this for our clothing instead of a suitcase while camping. It holds a lot (large). I love this bag and purchased others for people. I chose not the zipper in case I overflowed the bag.

My wife has been wanting this tote bag for a while, so I put it on her Christmas list. She absolutely loves it. You can really tell that it is well-made and will last for a long time.

very well made product

This was a gift....the giftee gave me details as to the color, initials, etc. that she preferred. She was delighted when she unwrapped the tote bag.

Great tote. very sturdy

Got this for my daughter, as I have owned one for many years and found it extremely useful and durable. This one was a little larger than I expected, but as I had had it monogrammed, there would be no return. Didn't matter. She loved it and was able to tuck all her Christmas gifts inside to take them home when she left. Wonderful item!

M wife loves it.

This is a heavy-duty bag. Top quality materials and workmanship.

This was the 2nd tote bought for Granddaughters H.S. graduation. I use the college colors for the handles & fill the tote with sundries, snacks, laundry supplies, notebooks, pens/pencils, etc. the ideas are endless...and the girls LOVE it.

Purchased the tote as a gift and it is all that it was advertised to be. Well sewn, heavy duty material. Got the monogram which makes it more personal.

Over the years I have bought several of these canvas bags, in different sizes and colors. I still have all of them. I use them for everything...groceries, laundry bag, briefcase, book bag, beach bag, weekend luggage, catch-all in the car and other places, storage and transportation of ski gear, I even carried my toddler in the large one. They are strong and machine washable,then they come out ready for another adventure.

Bought 4 of the medium for grocery shopping. Liked them because they are sturdy and can take a lot of weight.

Our family has been ordering these totes for over 50 years and the quality today is the same as those ordered so many years ago. Because today more than ever we are conscious of protecting the environment in every way we can - little ways, big ways - I've been using my totes for groceries . They're sturdy, hold even fragile items safely, and the strong handles are perfect for 'big grocery shopping' trips. Thank you LLBean for being so dependable - thank you for a consistently fine product.

A very attractive and strong bag. You can carry just about anything in it!!! Great for gift giving!

This is the second bag like this my sister and I have purchased. They work really well for putting our little Halloween treat bags in for the kids.

Need this bag for training as in pulling weight. Does the job and lasts

I sent these items to my daughter and son-in-law to use for traveling and trips to the grocery store. My daughter saw my bag when she was visiting and really liked it so I thought these items would be a good gift for them. She called me when she received them and was very happy with the bags. I know they are an excellent quality product and make really good gifts.

The LLBean tote is exactly what I expected it to be. I already own two of them and needed something to carry fishing and hunting gear year around so I did not have to keep switching stuff in bags so the obvious choice was two dedicated bags , one for fishing gear and one for hunting gear.

I can't tell you how many Boat and Tote Bags I've ordered from LL Bean over the years. These are the BEST sturdy/ all purpose bags you can find. As a Christmas gift, I purchased the long/large Boat and Tote bag in Navy and had initials monogramed. I stuff them with beach towels and they make for an awesome Christmas gift. Everyone goes crazy for these bags and I have their gifts done in a jiffy. I ordered the bag on a Monday and it was delivered on Thursday, unbelievable. People must work 24/7 at LL Bean. WOW so happy to buy a USA made product! Thank you LL Bean! Love your products!

I got this tote bag as a present in the past and I have one too, which has lasted years! Great material, long lasting, pretty. Very happy with purchase. People I have purchased this for have been very happy. I love the way they do the monogram! Very fancy-looking, yet professional.

This tote and the LL Bean toiletry bags are my go-to gifts. I've lost track of how many I've bought over the years. I have them monogrammed and give them to friends, family, teachers, school bus drivers, etc. I've never heard anything but rave reviews. I use all of the sizes. I usually give the large and XL as gifts. When I travel in my car I get everyone to pack their things in the large size because I can easily stuff them into the trunk. I like that they are stiff because I don't have to worry about them falling over. In the past month I've bought 6 as gifts for Christmas. Just yesterday, I got a text from a family member who received a size XL from me and she was soo excited. She loved it. I wish the XL had more color choices- but that is literally my only complaint. These are the best!

Xmas is coming - Order 3 Tote Bag for gifts & they are great. As well as having there initial put on them . Have a great Holidays.
