Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

I am giving this item as a gift this Christmas. I had it monogrammed and all looks great. It was back ordered and arrived sooner than anticipated!

As a long time, third generation LLBean fan, I already own just about every size of these totes. They are strong, look great, and incredibly useful. My experience proves that they are long-lasting, including the handles.

Great bags. Well made and I'm sure they will last a lifetime. Thanks for making such great products.

Love the bag and the monogram. Wasn't sure about the color combo order and spoke to someone at the company who assured me it was perfect. It was perfect and the customer service is worth its weight in gold. I felt like I was talking to my neighbor I'm so happy with my order.

LL Beans reputation speaks for themselves. They are exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

A classic. Can never have enough. This one's for our puppy

I now own 17 of these totes!! All of my Christmas gifts go in them!! 3 children & their mates 9 grandchildren And of coursetwo for meand my husband!! Thank you for your excellent product!!

I have llbean products for years. Have many of the older original totes. They are perfect. Just wanted to freshen up again. These are great and so are many other offerings fro llbean

These totes have been offered by LL Bean for quite some time. They truly represent their brand. Sturdy, practical, functional and classic design. I appreciated the option to order with longer handles so you can slip it over your shoulder. I ordered 6 mediums with the long handles for my grandchildren. I was able to select a different color for each and monogram the totes with their names. Added a beach towel and supplies and now they are good to go for summer fun at the lake. Ordered a large with long handles for all of the adults too. I expect them to get alot of use and last a very long time. Very pleased with this purchase.

Heavy canvas makes it great for boating, shopping and it looks good,too!

Bought as a gift to match a larger one for my mom. Quality is wonderful! Beautiful green color. Monogram is perfect!

Perfect for Christmas gift. Had name added, really came out great.

Best bags ever. I've owned several for upwards of 30 years and they are in mint condition. Bought this bag for our grown up daughter and her husband. FYI our daughter still has her large bag from early childhood still. So many uses!

Durable and great to schlep all of my work items in. It is my "grab and go" back.

I BOUGHT a BUNCH of these as gifts this year. They ALWAYS please. Can't wait to see everyones reaction on "boxing day" with their names on them and carefully selected color ways. I bought these for all my Irish Musician Group friends to haul their music. Got the long handles because you need to have your arms as free as possible to carry all your other gear. My Boat & Totes are a staple in my "wardrobe". I have washed my "extra large" a half dozen times now and use it almost every day. They soften over time but keep their strength! Hope they ALWAYS make this wonderful staple.

Very impressed with the quality of these totes. No doubt will last many years of lake abuse.

Love these LL BEAN bags. Bought our first one 20 yrs ago and now a new one for my grandson.

Absolutely love the Boat and Totes. I will never stop buying, truly I'm obsessed. If you are thinking about buying but aren't sure- do it! You will not be disappointed!

Live these bags! I can count on them for consistent quality workmanship.

Heavy duty bag for sure. Use it every day to carry my lunch and a bunch of other stuff to work. Wash it in the washing machine all the time. Finally have a hole in the side. Not sure why. Looks just plain worn out. Don't blame it. lol

Love these bags. Bought them for gifts and were the highlight at Christmas. Strong and durable yet stylish

These totes never disappoint. Sturdy and long lasting.

Classic and wonderful. These get softer but they last and last.

I can't have too many of these tote bags. I use some for grocery shopping. The handles never break no matter how heavy the groceries may be. In the past my bags have always broken & couldn't bear the weight. I also use for carrying towels to the beach. Carrying library books. Carrying my dog stuff too!

I just bought my gazillionth Boat and Tote. This one was part of a Christmas gift I am putting together. I had the bag embroidered with a short phrase that is appropriate for the gift and the person getting this gift. No need to use just a name or initials as long as you keep within the word length parameters. These bags are incredibly study and last almost forever. I do wish the color options would expand a bit...years ago there seemed to be more colors for the straps and trim. Mostly I just get the navy blue now. Although LLBean does not recommend machine washing and drying these (just spot cleaning which really does not get the bag clean enough!) I machine wash and dry mine all the time with no ill effect except that the material gets softer more quickly which is fine by me. I wash the bag(s) alone in the washing machine with regular detergent and either dry them outside in the sun in the summer or I put them in the dryer. Perfect! No color bleeding, just a very clean bag. I keep 3 of the large bags in the trunk of my car and use them for when I go to the supermarket or farmers market. I also use an extra large bag in my closet with folded sweatshirts in it. They are great for storage like this. Good not just for boating and toting but for lots of things in and around the house. I have another one hanging in the shed with smaller garden tools in it. The ideas are almost endless.
