Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Zip Top Boat and Tote Large

I've lost count of how many bean tote bags that I now own. I keep coming back for more! This was my first XL Bag. My daughter started taking a sewing class and needed a bag that could hold her sewing machine, sewing tools, and fabric. Instead of purchasing a bag from another company that had the sole purpose of carrying a sewing machine, I chose this bag which can be reused for other things once my daughter's class is finished. This bag can hold a small sewing box, sewing machine, cords, folder, fabric, and still have room.

Great quality, perfect size and definitely suggest the long handles.

Purchased a large with long handles for my fiance and she loves it. High quality material that is tough and the straps are durable. She liked the long straps so she could carry on shoulder. Perfect over night bag, boat bag and beach bag. The large was the perfect size for her.

Have purchased 2 other bags like this for our boat. Bought this as a christmas present and had it monogrammed with boat name. Wished more colors were offered during holiday season as I would have liked to have had pink since it was for a woman but I had to get red. Still wished you offered with waterproof bottom as you did one season but never saw it again. Luckily I had bought one then.

Great quality bag, good size for a weekend getaway or the beach.

I love my handy new mini tote! It arrived exactly as described, and my monogram is just what I wanted. Great quality as usual!

I ordered this tote with an initial monogram of my author name. The gold script was slightly smaller than I expected, but beautiful. It'll be a great marketing piece.

I own this bag in the classic navy blue color, zip top style, in all of the available sizes. The quality is fantastic and monogramming looks great. The extra large size makes a great duffel bag for travel, and the other sizes I use to carry things to/from my car, as a gym bag (large), and purse (for the small). Great price, great quality, highly functional. A true classic!

Bought as a gift for a friend and was totally wowed. It was sent and delivered right to her house and of course FREE monogramming.

This tote works for carrying my beauty products, a sports bag, snack bag, book bag... the list goes on. I love it.

Great quality very well made and should last a lifet6

This is my first order from your catalog. Quality of both products is exceptional.

PLEASE BRING BACK CUSTOM TOTES! White (natural) is an impractical color!

I LOVE this bag. I have a monogramed one, my oldest daughter has a monogramed one, and even my husband has a monogramed one - each bag in a different color. They're amazing for keeping our gear for trips, school, sports, etc well organized. L.L. Bean used to offer tons of great color options but I'm sad to see they no longer do... I would love to order our youngest daughter a pink one (as her color-coordinated color for organizing has been pink), but I haven't seen a pink tote listed in over a year. Please bring back more color choices for the bags! I know I'm not the only one who misses them.

Love this tote. Everyone in the family has one. Great for college students!!!

I have a number of this item myself and love them. These were a gift and the recipient was just s excited about receiving them.

I work from home, but every other week I go into the office. This bag (medium, zip-top with regular handles) is the perfect size for my laptop, headphones, and all of the various cables. I'm also a knitter, and found that this same bag is the perfect size for carrying my current project. After switching the computer/accessories and knitting/accessories in and out of the same bag a few times, I decided to purchase second Boat and Tote. Now, red=work, green=knitting. These are great, sturdy bags that are made to last forever, the color/embroidery is beautiful on both, and the monogram is free with an LLBean card. Highly recommended.

Like all LLBean products, this tote is very well made and durable. I bought the medium zip top and whether I use it for groceries, books and lap top, or when I go to aqua therapy it is perfect!

My wife saw my zippered Tote and said she would love one. Got the same style Tote but in a different color and monogrammed for her birthday. She loves it.

Made very strong! My go to bag for just about everything! I used to carry a large pocketbook, now I have my bean bag and it holds not only my pocketbook, but everything else that I wouldn't put in a pocket book. I have different sizes that I use for what I am doing that day. They are great gifts for that hard to find present for someone who has everything! You can not go wrong with a Bean Bag!!

I have been utilizing this carry all style tote bag for 16 years and I give as a gift to new parents - everyone has said they love this practical and stylish gift. It is durable and very handy to haul just about anything. Love them all! I have many different sizes and handle lengths.

This is my second boat bag with zip-top. It is rugged and durable. I use it when traveling for short stays. Easy to carry on and stow on a plane. I highly recommend it.

I bought this as a gift and the recipient loved it!

This bag turned out to be the perfect gift. I gave the extra large tote as a gift to my daughter while she was visiting. I also had the tote monogrammed with her initials. She absolutely loved it. She was able to back all of her carry on stuff, including her computer, and clothes and shoes in the tote, and there was room leftover. I recommend this bag if you have a traveler in your family or friends. They will love it.

Bought this bag to carry my puppy on the subway. Perhaps not its intended purpose, but it fits him perfectly and he loves it!
