Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

The same top quality tote I've been getting in different incarnations through the years.

The bags were perfect for the people I care for they were beautiful embroidered with what I wanted and arrived just in time for their prospective special day. They are very durable and even after you wash them they keep their sturdiness.

I purchased this bag for travel to Hawaii and used it every day that I was there. It held up like a champ and I plan to use it for the next 20 years. It is sturdy and strong and just as advertised. I ordered an extra long handle, which may not have been necessary, but it came in handy when we were walking long distances as I just put it over my shoulder.

Absolute must have for the boat, the car, and the camper. I leave one in each and use them every day.

A classic and durable bag good for any occasion. I use mine to grab groceries, the beach, the lake, tennis, literally anything. This holds a decent amount and is really rigid so the structure will be good for life.

So convenient specially for summer but whole year round

The quality/durability of these tote bags is second to none. I have the large size and just purchased the small size to complement it; the latter is perfect for runs to the grocery store where you only need to pick up 3 or 4 things. I have only positive things to say about the craftsmanship, practicality, and design of these tote bags - highly, highly recommend!

Love this little bag so much!! I've found anything that compares to LLBean totes. I have tried competitors and they are just not the same. Just ordered two and still have a couple from 25 years ago that are going strong!

I have 3 of these bags in different sizes and they all work so well for my needs. My latest is the small-sized one with the long handles and works perfectly as my summer purse. The black bottom helps hide the 'whatever' that gets on it. Even tho it's small, it holds everything I need and then some. I highly recommend this!

I love this bag!! So chic and fits so much. The monogram gives it a personal touch and I get compliments all the time

.. and can definitely see the appeal. Its sturdy. You don't have to baby it.. and it seriously keeps its shape. What more can you ask for? My days of obsessively buying bookstore tote bags are long over. I have found my tried and true. I may have even bought several with different monograms pertaining to me. Needless to say this is my forever tote. LL Bean Boat & Totes truly live up to the hype. PS - this is also my office bag. Yep. The 13" MacBook Pro fits nicely in my open-top tote bag! It sticks out a little but honestly I like the way it looks. Plus I get soooo many compliments on my bag.

Great tote for carrying heavy items - holds up well!

This bag comes in handy for carrying the many items I seem to collect. It is just the right size, looks good and helps me to stay organized. I always know where things are thanks to this handy bag!

It is exactly what I hoped it would be - a cute little everyday purse. Having my name on it makes it special.

Talk about a well-made product! This item is the premier of tote bags!

This reliable bag has carried me through many years. Actually it helped to sneak my lab puppy into my classroom. Countless surprise donuts for kids. Years of homework to be corrected. Bathing suits and towels for swimming fun with grandsons. Games and supplies for Tahoe. I wish the bag could talk.

Exactly as good as everyone says it is! Sturdy, big but not too big, and with the long handles its PERFECT. I use size large as my weekend bag, and I leave town every other weekend. It is perfect. I also take it to the farmers market and to stores and it hold up so well.

The best bag ever! Holds up over the rest of time and heavy wear and tear on our boat. Great gift- always monogram!

Classic and well made tote that I purchased to replace another that had been lost(I had that one for 25 years!) The monogram came out perfect.

The L L Bean Boat and Tote is the best you can buy, strong, great material, outperforms all other totes available. Customer Service is outstanding, a pleasure to deal with!

Bean's totes are the best - sturdy, attractive, and they last forever.

Love my new tote - same great bag as when I was a child.

Oh how I love this little tote! I have several medium totes that are used often and some for many years. This small tote is for taking my knitting prayer shawl to the weekly gathering along with just my wallet, phone, and knitting supplies. Perfect size. And whoever decided to make them in more colors surely got my vote!

This bag will stand alone making it easy to load & unload. The zipper works well.

Stands upright on its flat bottom. Bought to transport study, teaching, keyboard, floral arranging essentials. Wish the main canvas came in darker colors, rather than cream.
