Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Medium

I needed a durable bag to bring a blanket and other items to dialysis 3 times a week and the extra large size is Perfect! I even got it engraved with my name and it is so cute! I've gotten so many compliments Love it!

I bought this tote for my mother for Mother's Day! My whole childhood I remember my parents having a couple of the larger boat and totes for when we went places. They somehow got lost when we moved (which was at least 15 years ago now), so I decided to get her another one because I know how much she loved those old ones. I got her the medium mineral red color and she loved the new color. She uses it for her work bag now and absolutely loves it. She loves the medium size, it's perfect for all of her work stuff, her lunchbox, smaller purse, and other items fit in it perfectly!

I have had one in the past >25 years ago or so and I was very pleased with the durability and strength. The bag lasted for many years. I look forward to using this bag every bit as much as the "old one" was.

We use these bags to courier books around our county and they are durable and last forever!

The long handles make it super convenient, and the bag is so structured and well-made you'll never have to replace it!

Got this bag as a gift for my cousin's birthday. It is beautiful and she loves it! Even monogrammed, it came really fast. Glad I got it!

This is not my first purchase. I have a medium and now the large for groceries.

I bought the large size tote for my daughter as a birthday gift! She is always carrying everything to the pool or beach and I knew this would be perfect! Love LL Bean

I needed something sturdy to hold my work files and desk items on the weekend so we could have our kitchen table back. I love these totes anyway and the large is perfect for my needs!

The price was reasonable, delivery was fast and the item was in stock I have bought an number of times from LL Beam and I happy by there products

I purchased this tote and had it monogrammed for my sister and her future husband as they just purchased a boat. I have this tote myself and it is perfect for boating or going to the beach or pool. It holds many towels, sunscreen, and other odds & ends, such a pool toys for the kids. I have had had mine for 7 years and it is still holding up great! I was glad to see that they added a version with longer straps which makes carrying it much easier.

I like to buy fancy purses but so many times I am worried about putting them down in something or getting scratched. I love my boat and totes. I own a medium with long handles and 2 large with regular handles. The medium stays standing so searching through my purse is easy. Also I do not worry about what I need to carry in it. Here is a picture of my medium with navy handles and my grandmother's large with orange. I don't know how old hers is, I only know it was used for decades to carry the linens to the cottage.

I was given this exact tote as a going away present 20 years ago. The handle finally was fraying enough it was time to retire the tote. I ordered the exact same tote including the engraving. It arrived in a timely matter and is perfect. I use it every work day to transport files, water bottles and all the usual stuff many of us carry. I absolutely LOVE this tote and would recommend it to any and all who are looking for an open-top medium sized durable tote. Keep up the good work!

This tote is beautifully made, sturdy and nice to look at. It holds lots of stuff. Can't wait to use it at the pool and beach. I bought one for my daughter, too!

I've purchased over 6 tote bags of various sizes, tho most have the long handle. I love them. The color options are varied, of course, but they wear beautifully & don't look old or well used [which several are!!]

I have ordered many small tote bags over the years. I purchased the totes for gifts for new babies. Monogram names on them makes a special bag. The small bag is a great size. I would like to order colors in the small size that are available in the Medium and Large sizes..

The large bag is perfect for all of Teddy's gear - sometimes even Teddy! It fits everything we need and is very comfortable. The bag feels super durable and I know we will be using it for many years!

Got this one for my dog (so basically for me). Doesn't have thumbs so I carry it for him. Cute yet sensible (the bag not the dog). My go-to for buying trips, grocery runs, road trips, boat cruises, beach days. Best gift for pretty much any occasion. Holds its shape, does not tip over. 10/10 will not rest until I have one monogrammed with every usage imaginable.

These totes are so strong. They are perfect for transporting all sorts of things and they make it much easier. I purchased two this time and they will get lots of use.

We have used Bean totes for years. We call them sail bags as folks used to make them out of old canvas sails. Anyway, they have become a family gift for all college graduates in our extended family along with a check as they launch themselves into the world. We get these monogrammed. They are a keepsake and super functional. Keep up the good work.

Quality product, purchased for the purpose of carrying groceries. This item will fill several needs. Carrying laundry detergent and fabric softener, then utilizing it to transport beach equipment, from towels to food items. Hopefully this will last for years to come.

Needed a new quality carry-all. This bag was it. Needed the long straps. LL Bean can make it happen.

Perfect, of course. This is my first B and T with the longer handles, which I doubted I'd like, but instead, I LOVE them! Highly recommend, but I feel like most LLBean lovers saw this review coming...

This is a very nice tote. It's a good size for lots of items and will be great for traveling. I have a larger one that I received as a gift over 30 years ago that I still use and it's still in good shape. LL Bean has always had excellent quality for affordable prices.

We have had a couple of these bags for years. Since there is an effort to eliminate using plastic bags at grocers etc I decided to get a bag for my daughter. This bag holds quite a bit and has always lessened the need to carry a bunch of plastic bags when shopping. They are strong and we don't have to worry about ripping or losing anything.
