Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Medium

I love these things, need one in every size!

Same sturdy well built little boat and tote that you have always expected and in a very nice variety of colors. What I found particularlly helpful with this order, is that I have never been very good at relating measurements to actual size and have frequently ordered something too big for my needs. Now LL Bean has someone holding the bag in the preview which made it much easier to get exactly the size I needed......super.

Have purchased maybe 6 different boat totes for gifts at different times. LOVE them all & will order more.

It looks great. High quality. Speedy delivery. Good deal.

Outstanding bag- tough, durable and endless uses. Have 4 different sizes & types. Great for holidays and travel.

I cannot tell you how many of these I have purchased--different sizes and styles, some for me and some for other people as gifts. They are so well made and hold up for years. I use them for everything. I like when they're new and stiff but you can wash them. They do shrink a little and become softer. I wouldn't hesitate for a second buying one of these. I used one as a gift for a new boater and filled it with all kinds of stuff, towels, plastic wine glasses and plates, etc. I had the name of the boat engraved on it and they loved it.

You can never go wrong with a boat & tote bag! You can never buy them too early for a young child, either! I ordered this one in dark pink early in October, using some coupons and taking advantage of a sale. I was told they were back ordered until early December so I felt lucky I ordered so early. Well it arrived on Halloween! My new granddaughter will receive it along with her personalized needlepoint stocking for Christmas. I will fill it with her gifts and we'll probably take a photo of her in it in her holiday finest as we did with her older brother. This well made bag will serve her well over the years, for toys now and for overnights later. Love the pink lettering and handles, a real keeper!

We love these...each member of our family has one with their name on it. We also have. 'Stuff', 'More Stuff', 'Toys' and 'More Toys.'

This was the sixth LLBean canvas tote that I have purchased for my family. We have all sizes and varied handle lengths depending on use. We usually have our last name monogrammed on the bag so that all of us get reminded that the particular tote is ours and that we will be reconnected with the bag after use. We even give these totes as presents - people love them! The quality is always excellent.

The extra-large bag worked out so well for carrying laundry up and down the stairs that I had to buy a second one. Great product!

I love these bags. These bags are my go to presents for friends with new babies. I add the monogram to the bag and it becomes a very special present. I love that they are made in America.

I would just like to say that this is the first thing I have ever purchased from L.L. Bean and I have not been disappointed. You can tell it is very well made from the stitching. Although I have had this bag for under 2 weeks, I have already used it to haul groceries and things that I needed to return. I opted to get the longer handles, as well. I know that the tote will last a very long time and I'm actually going to get another one, but in a smaller size. Please note that if you have your eye on the extra-large size, IT IS MASSIVE. I could fit about 3 toddlers in my tote, so take that into consideration when purchasing this item. These totes expand a lot bigger than you think, so it's excellent if you have kids or something. Just pay attention to sizing!

Love the tote but disappointed color options are no longer available

It was a gift for my daughter. It was supposed to be for Christmas. I ordered the first week of December, but it didn't come in until mid January. She loves it though!

I love how robust my tote bag is, but there were so many loose threads - whoever was responsible for QA was not doing their job. It looks tacky with all the loose threads

Perfect beach tote! It fits everything needed and it's super sturdy. Got mine personalized and while it was a tad off center, I understand these are hand sewn and really appreciate it!

Love the bag not the short handles. This bag is an everyday bag even for work.

A traditional L.L. Bean item. Goid quality but, unfortunately, expensive.

I bought 2 large totes with long handles for my kids. I'm loading them up with their Christmas gifts. I love the bags so much I bought one for myself.

Would be better if a little taller. Seems unbalanced

To start this was my first time ordering this tote. With that being said the medium was a bit smaller than I expected but that is my fault for not paying attention to the measurements. It is very well made and the bag itself is pretty stiff so I don't think it will lose shape. I did have it embroidered which makes it feel custom. My only complaint is I chose brown thread and it was very light in color more like a burnt gold.

Absolutely adorable! and it fits so many things. However, I do wish the straps were a little longer to fit over the shoulder.

The bag is nice and sturdy but I wish they would make them in colors other than white like they use to. The white shows the dirt whereas darker colors did not. Please bring back the colored bags.

The bag is very well made.the stitching is beautiful. I liked the personal touch of adding a card that said who made it. My only issue is I wouldn't recommend the short straps. I think once I break it in it'll be better, but I got my sister the long straps and it gives the bag so many additional possibilities.

I'm always happy to repurchase these. I have many and I buy as gifts, also. I had a medium in my cart to get after this one and imagine my surprise when the price increased $10/on each bag overnight. $10. This is significant increase and very disappointing. The quality is A+ but I'm taking a star off for the increase alone. I won't be so quick to buy another.
