Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Medium

I needed a bag large enough to carry all my quilting supplies, mats and rulers. This is perfect with the long handles it makes it easy to carry.

My boss gave me a Boat & Tote for my birthday and my co-workers who already had theirs said "you will love it" and I do! It goes everywhere with me and after 3 years of constant use looks as good as new. Gave one to my sister and one to my Niece for birthday gifts! They have had lots of compliments and love using them too. Sturdy, stylish and monogrammed makes them a great useable gift that I feel good about giving.

I just bought another one of these, because I use it so much that I needed another. I have found this tote nearly impossible to live without, in practicality. Great for a day trip, day on the beach, shopping and hauling odds and ends to and from the car. So practical for errands (library, post office runs, etc.). You won't find a better-made, sturdier bag anywhere. Pick a color you like, because it's going to last you forever. The medium size is also big enough for an overnight, when all you need is a change of lightweight clothes and small toiletries. Highly recommended!

I have a few of these bags. They truly are the best. I use them for grocery shopping to packing for trips. They are super sturdy and come in a wide range of colors. You can also have the bags personalized which comes in handy if you have children. Everyone can have their own personal bag.

We've purchased LL Bean totes many times over the years because they are a great quality and last for years! We often purchase them for baby gifts to tote the baby's toys and things, and for birthday gifts with a name or monogram. The large is a generous size for hauling/toting things.

I've been buying these totes for years for myself, family and friends. They last forever and are sturdy enough to carry a lot of weight. The price is also very affordable.

Bag is super versatile I use it back and forth for work, super durable as well! Probably going to order a larger one for the beach!

I love the quality of this bag. You know the handles will not break and the bright teal color of the handles is so pretty. It's a durable bag and is perfect for all kinds of things when you don't want to carry a giant tote bag.

We currently have 5 of these wonderful bags .. i use them as laundry baskets , easy to carry up and down stairs .. they will be with us forever !

I've been buying and receiving LL Bean totes for years. They are all still in use. I love that they can be personalized or left plain. I recently bought my daughter a personalized set for the whole family. Her comment was that she didn't know what to do with them. Last time I visited, they were all being used. She asked for a "book bag" for her son's birthday. Grandma occasionally gets it right.

I bought this tote bag because I do a lot of crocheting and needed a larger bag for my bigger projects. This bag is durable, no flaws, and the monogram is beautiful. To my surprise this bag is huge!! Perfect fit for the large afghan I was crocheting. My afghan is 63"X 63" so, folded in the bag there is still plenty of room to spare. This tote would be great for traveling, beach or anything really. I love it and I love LLBean's great products.

Love this little tote. It's a perfect size for carrying around my ipad and lunch with a bottle of water for work. I love LLBean products.

I love these tote bags, you can't go wrong with them. If you want something that lasts nearly forever, this is it. They don't wear out like Thirty-One bags do very quickly. I find that the medium long-handled ones make perfect teacher bags for hauling things to and from school, so I buy one every semester as a gift for my student teachers. I got the aqua color this time and I like the color- it is a very pretty light blue water-like color, not neon like in the above picture. There is no green in it like the aqua color I think of nowadays, however, so don't expect that. I do wish there was a wider range of colors, since my current student teacher's favorite color is purple, which was not a choice.

I bought this bag to carry my dog in, NYC's subways mandate that dogs must be in a bag to ride, and it's perfect. He's a beagle-bassett mix so he's extra long, and weighs 35lbs so finding a bag big, and strong enough wasn't easy. This bag is roomy enough for him to lay down inside. It's strong enough for me to carry him in it without fear of breaking.

This is my go to for baby gifts. Everyone who has a baby I give a monogrammed bag to and the bag is perfect as they never grow out of it. Plus they are washable and last forever

Excellent quality. Thankful it is made in the USA

Excellent size for camping or traveling. Works Great! Very well made.

I love this bag! I use it primarily for grocery shopping. It is extremely strong. This at times works against me because I tend to load it up with more things than I can carry. I'm thrilled with this new addition. I also have a large bag that I rave about as well.

I use mine to carry athletic gear to and from the gym. Love it. Has lasted years! It stands up on its own and is attractive and roomy -- all great features. The only thing I would add if I could would be an interior pocket for my cell phone, wallet and keys.

This is the best bag. I have had mine for over 30 years. Bought one for each great nephew and great niece. Parents like them. Very practical. Love the free monograms.

I purchased this for a lasting gift. After she read her name on the tote, she put it right up and on her shoulder. I'm very pleased I made a good decision to buy this product.

Ordered this tote to carry my "stuff" back and forth from work. It's big enough for my purse, lunch, umbrella, change of shoes and various odds and ends. And I have lots of room left over for books, a coat and anything else I may need. It's not too big though. It's very sturdy and I have no doubt it will last a long time. If I could go back in time, now that I've carried it for several weeks, I would opt for the longer handles. Maybe next time!

I can't get enough of these totes! I use them for everything. Sturdy. Nice looking. Timeless. Great gift too!

I love this tote. I carry project notebooks and these bags can handle the weight.

I gave this tote to a friend who lives in another state, as a gift in thanks for a huge favor. I picked a sweet color and had it personalized with her name. She loved it and said it was a nice surprise to have delivered directly to her. I couldn't be happier.
