Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Medium

I have a bunch of these durable and versatile bags. In the office we accumulate project files in numbered bags as they make their way around. At home I have one for my mountain bike stuff, another for my road bike stuff and my kid has one for his airsoft stuff. Got lots of stuff? Organize it in a B&T bag with the name embroidered on the outside then grab and GO when it's time to hit the road! If it's dirty - clean it, but not too much as the appearance only gets better with use. All of that and somehow still made in Maine, USA? How can you go wrong?

What a great catchall for trips always my last minute items go in here and it holds a lot.

I love this bag! it is good for anything you can imagine best go to bag! I buy for friends and gifts and all feel same way! everyone asks where I got bag! I can not say enough!!!

Over the years I have purchased a number of these bags for my daughters, granddaughters, great granddaughters and myself. They're attractive, durable, and there's no mistaking whose is whose as they're all personalized. We love them!

Back in the late'80's, I bought a LL Bean "Boat and Tote" bag to use as an anchor rode storage bag for my 5.5M Mirage sailboat. In it was stored a 10# Danforth anchor, 6 feet of chain, and 100 feet of 1/2" anchor line. Over the years it was dragged out over the decks of other boats larger and smaller including my 30' Catalina, a small catamaran dingy, and finally my last boat (so far at least) a 40' Cross Trimaran. After years of use, abuse, and anchor flukes, the bag finally out lived its usefulness. But after moving ashore to Alsea Oregon, the old anchor bag was unstitched, and retro fitted to become a log tote to help tend the wood stove in our new homestead. And now after eight more years of service, it is finally being retired permanently. Say hello to our new Log Tote. BTW Thanks Ryan for doing a great job of handcrafting my new Boat and Tote, Open-Top, Log Tote!!

This purchase is my second of this product. I bought my first two totes 20 years ago to carry my carpentry hand tools from my wood shop to the clients house for whatever work needed to be done installing what the client had me build for them. They are so well built I kept my old ones until they were pretty tattered and worn.

Love the bean totes! So strong and handy. I have every size an love them all.

This is an excellent product. The only problem is that it is too large. The XL is really large and we should have ordered the large.

This large size tote is well-made and perfect for holding a couple of beach towels, books, and swim gear for the kids and me. Absolutely love it!

Exactly what I wanted. bought as a gift and they loved it! This tote is a timeless classic.

We've gotten LL Bean totes for our grandchildren and our grand dogs. They're always a big hit.

Amazing quality, construction and the perfect "goodie" Bag

Great bag to pack everything I need for weekend travel or just a quick getaway! Love it!!

I purchased this tote as a replacement for a worn out beach bag. This L.L. Bean tote is very roomy and very sturdy. Perfect as a beach bag!

Name on the "Handcrafted By" card inside the bag is Ryan. Ryan - thanks for creating a super strong tote bag. I look forward to using this to haul things to and from the camper this summer. Great for local grocery shopping at the farmer's markets, also. Great work!

I have purchased six for myself and several as gifts to others. I have never had a bag like this from any other source. This one stands up on its own, or if you need to you can put it in a small space by folding the top over. The handles are strong: I purchased my six bags years ago and use each one for a different purpose.Other than a few stains they look as though they were purchased yesterday. No fraying, no signs of wear. I am purchasing one now for my eldest son. I'm uploading a picture of the one I am traveling with today

You can never go wrong buying this tote. I use it every time I travel and especially for my knitting projects.

I am very happy with this bag, I use it for all my YOGA items for class. Everything fits in this bag. - I ordered Long.

Well made, extremely sturdy, will keep it's shape. Better than I expected.

Perfect for groceries. This is the 3rd one i've bought for same purpose. Use 3 so they're not too heavy.. If i were stronger would only need two ! Very sturdy!

I've bought lots of these bags in all different sizes and handle lengths. One thing in common: each and every one is made to last! I've even bought some at yard sales - washed them, and they were good to go. But as a baby shower gift, personalized with the baby's name, the mother to be will be thrilled. Babies come with lots of stuff, and these bags are made to carry stuff for years. Mazel tov!

I always enjoy a gift or an order from LL Bean just knowing that the product will be top notch. I want to thank Shirley, the person that handcrafted my tote for me. It is perfect.

I love this bag and have had it for years. Unfortunately, I have not found an easy way to clean it. If anyone has suggestions, I hope they post.

It's just a convenient and great siz

These are the best I have ever seen. Made in the USA the way thing used to be. Strong, tough, and look great. I will pay more for USA made products. Thanks LL Bean NO china Junk
