I received one of these in medium as a baby gift and we use it all the time, especially for travel. Just throw everything in there and you can see it all easily! Toys, clothes, diapers etc. I now send these to all my friends when they have a new baby. The monogram makes it extra special and it's something the child will be able to use (literally) forever. My parents have one that is over 40 years old. Also the basic shipping is WAY faster for in stock items with monogram than the other copy cat mail order brand. ;-)

Quality is what we've come to expect from Bean's boat totes. Stitching on monogram is well done. Looking forward to many years of use!

This is what I think of when I think "boat tote"; large, sturdy, and durable.

Clean lines, modest in size, decisive in shape, great with jeans, easy to carry and rummage in but not so big as to make keys and glasses disappear.

My daughter & I have given these bags as baby gifts many times and years later have been thanked for their versatile use! I'm so glad LLBean brought back some of the colors they hadn't had in stock for awhile!

Perfect beach bag. Big enough for towels, hat, small cooler bag and everything else. Got mine monogrammed and I love it.

These bags last forever! I bought each of my children a set of these when they were babies and now, almost 30 years later, they still use their "bean bags" regularly. I bought this bag now for a friend's baby and i know she use it time and again.

I bought my trusty tote during a visit to the LL Bean store back in 1973 when I was in my mid 20's. We are both still going strong although we're no longer "pristine". The only thing I've had to do is add some reinforcement to the tops of the handles about 20 years ago when the stitching frayed a little.

This tote is what I order for new babies. Either with initials or name if it's short like "Luke". Navy trim for boys, red for girls. So useful and some kids are still taking their bags to the beach at 16.

Ditch plastic, nylon and.99 cent store branded bags these last. 24 oz cotton. durable and strong. Over the last two years as my other Eco friendly bags ripped, handles broke or just gave out at the seams; I have replaced them with various sizes of totes. 1 small, 2 medium and 1 large more than handles any size grocery or farmer market run.

I got the small size but wish that I had gotten medium. It is a "go bag" for my dog. I take his food, meds, dog bowl, leash/harness, treats, etc... in it which is much nicer than a plastic bag. I had it monogrammed "DOG".

I've been using the L.L. Bean Boat and Tote Bag for a while now, and it has quickly become my go-to bag for all sorts of trips and errands. Made right here in the USA, this bag stands out as a wonderful exception to the usual suitcase or generic tote bag that many people rely on.
Quality and Durability:
The first thing that strikes you about this bag is its exceptional quality. The heavy-duty canvas is incredibly sturdy, and the reinforced handles and seams ensure that it can handle a significant amount of weight without any signs of strain. This bag is built to last, and it's clear that L.L. Bean has put a lot of thought into making it as durable as possible.
Design and Functionality:
What I love most about the Boat and Tote Bag is its simple yet highly functional design. The open-top style makes it easy to load and unload, and the roomy interior can accommodate a surprising amount of stuff. Whether I'm packing for a weekend getaway or just doing some grocery shopping, this bag has the space and strength to handle it all.
Versatility:
This bag is not just for travel; it's perfect for everyday use too. I've used it for picnics, beach trips, and even as a gym bag. Its classic, understated design means it looks good in any setting, and the variety of colors and sizes available means you can choose one that fits your personal style and needs.
Made in the USA:
It's refreshing to find a product that's proudly made in the USA. Knowing that this bag is supporting American jobs and is crafted with such care and precision adds a special value to it.
Conclusion:
In a world full of mass-produced, overseas-manufactured products, the L.L. Bean Boat and Tote Bag stands out as a symbol of American craftsmanship and quality. It's a practical, stylish, and durable alternative to the usual suitcase or everyday tote. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile bag that can handle all of life's adventures.

The quality of the Bean Boat Tote never disappoints. Where as some seasoned brands have sacrificed craftsmanship for a cheaper product LL Bean has remained consistent. I have purchased more than a few of these bags in various sizes over the years and the quality holds up and will continue to do so.

This is a great tote bag and I will use it for many different purposes. Note: I am also still using the LL Bean boat tote that i purchased over 40 years ago. This bag is well worth the price.
