Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Medium

I bought 3 of these medium boat and tote bags for my co worker and my cousin's children as their graduation gift. All 3 recipients loved their monogrammed tote bags. I loved it so much that I bought one for myself in skylight. I love these boat and tote bags. They are sturdy, durable and well built. I have another one in a light blue floral pattern. LL Bean, please make more boat and tote bags in PASTEL colors and FLORAL patterns. I would buy more boat and tote bags in different pastel colors if you offered more color choices.

Boat and Tote medium size bags are GREAT for groceries. PLEASE, PLEASE bring back the custom boat and tote. I have 5 colorful bags back from the days when you did custom color choices. I would buy one or two more but will not purchase the white because it gets too dirty, too easily. If you cannot bring back the custom choices at least offer the bag with the main body a darker color. Mine are colorful and fun and I frequently get positive comments from the grocery store baggers.

sturdy and spacious for groceries.

I recently purchased an open top, medium Boat and Tote bag to replace the one I had used for nearly 18 years. The original bag was a gift, and it contained the name and embroidered image of a Dachshund like mine. We lost that dog in mid-December and I didn't want to continue using the bag. I had used it as my "school bag", and except for the frayed handles and some stains I had caused, it was still in great shape! I certainly could have gotten many more good years of use from it, but I couldn't bear to look at the name and picture of my precious doggie. :( The replacement bag I ordered is identical to the original, but contains only my monogram. The bag is very well made and has plenty of room for all the books, etc, that I put in it. I look forward to using it for many, many years. I don't believe it is possible to wear out one of these bags! Bean does not disappoint!

Purchased this to transport 1 pair of sneakers and a water bottle that fits upright without rolling around to the gym. Perfect for this purpose.

So sturdy, so roomy, so classic and cute. I will be purchasing the whole set!

I am constantly shuffling items between two households and these sturdy bags, which are rigid enough to stand up straight, are indispensable. So practical, functional, high quality, and impressive! I simply cannot imagine life without these iconic bags. I purchased the large and extra-large size with the regular handle length. I prefer the regular handle length as I put LOTS of heavy items in the bag and it helps me to load and unload them into my SUV.

Our developmentally delayed son (adult) is a bookaholic and carries his books in the tote bag at all times. over the years he has worn out 2 bags. He loves them and they are sturdy enough to hold up under the many books he puts in them. I have them monogrammed and he has a million dollar smile when he get a new one

I received this long handled bag as a gift and it has been a dream. Since I am a teacher, the bag holds tons of student papers. I have also taken it to the beach and football games. The long handle is a perfect length and so easy to carry. It does not slide off your shoulder. The bag is made of the best and strongest material. After a year of everyday use, it still looks new . I especially like having my name monogrammed on the side....the personal touch. I have since ordered two bags as gifts for friends. My bag does not have a zipper, but I just may treat myself and get another bag with a zipper for more personal items when I travel.

We bought two open-top extra large totes because we know the the quality is very durable. Our old tote (large) has been used for over 25 years. It's still being used along with our new totes. They fold up into a suitable size and are easy to store.

Gave an extra large and a small, monogrammed to our daughter in law for her birthday. She was extremely pleased. A great gift. Xlge is pretty big, may just purchase the large and small for others

Very well made tote. I have purchased different sized totes in the past and have always been very happy with the durability.

I really love the Boat and Tote, all sizes, but miss the customization. Please consider bringing back this option. The black on black is so cool!

I've bought a few of these totes over the years and still use all of them. Well made, sturdy and attractive, they're great to load up with everything from books to beach supplies.

These bags are amazing. Simple but so strong. I use them to go grocery shopping, do laundry, pack for short trips, you name it! If you can use a bag for it, then you want to use this bag! I prefer the long handle so the bag can easily go on my shoulder. I have all of the sizes. Like I said, they are amazing!

Love how sturdy and well-made this tote is! We are 100% outsiders who love to hike, boat, camp, fish, and more. Our new spring puppy will need a good tote to hold all of his outdoor adventure gear and I'm so glad we went with this one. Arrived 2 days after the expected delivery date but that is to be expected during the holidays! So very happy with this, and plan to order another for our next puppy, River, too!

Bought this for my daughter who is a school teacher. She LOVES it. It is beautifully crafted and very sturdy. The monogramming gives it a nice touch.

Well made product should last quite awhile

I ordered four of these totes, the next day I ordered six more, and the following day I added three more to the list! Everyone who received them loved them and immediately used them to pack up and carry their other Christmas presents! Did I get one for myself? No, because I am still using the one that was given to me 31 years ago!

Bought this as a gift which was very well received.. practical, useful and attractive tote

Bought it to hold toys. Nice and sturdy! Easy for the kids to get what they want to play with!

Received tote as ordered Will last for years

We use our XL tote to carry wood from the wood pile to the house. It holds a lot of weight! 10 years and still going strong! I have 2 of the small ones as well that I've had for just as long if not longer. Best tote there is!

I now have 1 of each size tote bag. I love them. We stopped using plastic bags a few years ago. I ordered 2 bags and really loved using them. I now have all the bags I need. They are always in my car trunk, ready for use
