Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

The best bag ever. I can't even count how many I own and still want more.

This was purchased as a gift. It is exactly what she wanted!

What can one say about an item for which there are 7091 reviews (as of this writing). I can add this: I walk with a cane in each hand, which makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to carry things. I welcome the LL Bean canvas tote which 'walks' along with me like a third leg: left foot, right foot, tote. It climbs the stairs ahead of me. The LL Bean tote may not be beautiful (sorry LL Bean) but it is eminently practical! The best part is: it stands on its own (and doesn't collapse when not being held). How helpful is that!

Got this for my daily work bag. It's such a workhorse and barely shows wear. I like how the tote stands up on its own because of the heavy canvas.

Sturdy and beautiful. My only regret is not getting the large. I need my laptop to fit to go to work, plus a scarf or sweater. The medium only carries my toiletry bag, makeup bag, a water bottle and my wallet. The medium does not fit my needs, the long champ tote is a little more spacious. I had to order a large. Hopefully that works better. Long wait time to ship is not fun either.

Amazing tote bag - roomy and durable. It will definitely last a long time.

Pleased with my purchase. This is a great bag, sturdy & good quality. It is BIG.

With and without a zippers these bags are perfect.

Such a quality bag! Lasts forever! Initials make it special!

This bag is a great size for many things. I love it.

I finally found a canvas bag similar to the telephone company work bag used in a lineman's daily routine. Big loop handles for carrying & pulling up a pole as an auxiliary to the standard tool belt.

It still a too large oi should get a medium instead. Its okay

Mine is 40 years old and is a member of our family! If soiled, delicate cycle on wash and allow to dry naturally. Thank you!

Extremely beautiful and practical. My kids and grandkids loved it

Totally met my expectation, durable, practical and above all Fun & Comfortable

Love this everyday bag - holds my laptop, lunch, and everything else I want to tote around all day!!

My wife loves them. Very good quality for the price.

To carry most of whatever you're carrying! I really like this ba. It's not the first one I've had so it joins a pack of bags. The canvas is not a wimp, it can't be easily cut or torn. This bag can carry bottles of water which on my own I couldn't do but with this bag, I can be much stronger than by myself. Groceries, kids, pets, this bag helps carry it all! Thank you LL Bean!

I board dogs in my home; the ones who are frequent or long term guests get a personalized bag from LL Bean. I've bought the lightweight nylon ones and the classic canvas ones. The owners are amazed, the dogs are indifferent (except when the bags have their treats in them.) I enjoy selecting the bags and all of the dogs bring their bags, with leashes and toys and food) for their next stay. The littlest dogs can fit into their bags! Of course I have the canvas bags myself, used every week for the farmers market and hauling whatever needs to be hauled. Five Dutch bunnies fit into the large bag, for instance! I had an outside pocket added to a bag, with Velcro at the bottom so it can go over a suitcase handle and be the allowed personal item. Would be nice to see a version with that addition offered. I look for excuses to buy these bags for gifts, knowing they will be well loved and well used, and I always take advantage of the free monograms included with the Bean credit card.

So useful, so sturdy, so adaptable. A bag of a thousand uses.

I have been gifting this to new parents monogrammed with baby's name and they it!

This is the one and only bag to own. Sturdy and dependable! I keep one in my car and one in my garage. I grab it for any type of shopping, or to go to the beach.

I have two of these totes (large and medium sized) and I absolutely love them!! I use the medium as my everyday purse and I use the large to carry all of my things and my daughters things altogether. The large is also great for a family bag to take on trips. I highly recommend and will be purchasing more as gifts and other sizes as well!

I wanted to thank my excellent chiropractor for his good work, so I decided to get a little monogrammed Bean tote for his newborn baby girl. I got the vintage rose color, which goes with her middle name, Rose. It couldn't be cuter!! A perfect gift!

I have so many of these bags now, all for different uses. I went through quite a bit of indecisiveness with colors/handle length/sizes and doing a number of returns (sorry L.L. Bean!) but I now own or am waiting to receive every size! Mini/small for smaller outings, medium for work/errands or when I need to carry more, large for pool/beach, and 2 XLs that I'm sure will serve many purposes! These totes are classic, tough, and fun to customize :) Thanks for the awesome product, L.L. Bean (and the unmatched customer service!)
