Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

I've gotta have these in my life! I use them for absolutely everything...camping, boating, backyard barbeques, laundry...everything! I have all LL Bean sizes...and I love them!!

This is just one of many L.L. Bean tote bags. I'd like the new colors and love the monogramming. The price is always right. It's a can't beat bag.

Great bag! Ordered it while it was on back order and got it way before the expected date!

Adore this bag - rugged, perfectly oversized and very cute.

My fourth bag for carrying weekly grocery shopping

Perfect bag instead of a purse to leave in car, so that i can just carry a wallet in stores.

I love the medium tote! I ordered the long handles in mauve with my name engraved. It looks very nice. It can hold a lot. I use for my church bag. It fits MacBook Air, 13 inch. Small Bible, water bottle, wallet and pencil pouch and much more. It's very sturdy and the canvas holds up wonderfully. Liked so much I ordered my mom one as well! Thinking or ordering a small one for work. I'm 5'4 and the long handles are perfect to carry on my shoulder. I highly recommend this sturdy canvas bag as a carryall tote for any occasion.

Purchased two XL totes. Used as "wrapping paper" for delivery of a wedding gift. Monogrammed with the names of the bride and groom. The newlyweds made a bigger fuss over the totes than the actual wedding gift. The totes were a home run.

I got my old boat n tote used from my mother abt 33 yrs ago & don't know how long she had it before me. I've used it a LOT, I mean daily, dragging to/from various jobs with loads of books, papers, clothes, food/drinks and taking it on travels including regular gigs carrying my heavy "Big Book of (1300) Songs." As you can see from the photos, there's wear and tear but she's held up really well. I'll still use the old girl to carry things up & down my home's 2 stairways.

I love LL Bean's totes - I have them in all sizes offered. I use them for my laundry, grocery/shopping, trips to the beach, stashed in the back of my Jeep for whatever need comes up, and just all-around "stuff" receptacle. There are so many reasons to have LL Bean Totes and they are perfect when any need arises when you just need a tote! They are made very sturdy, hold up to washing and drying, and are very dependable. I love mine. When these I have now wear out...I'll just buy more LL Bean Totes!

I've used these for years as a stone Mason. Most everyday tools fit in this sack. I do primitive type work. Hammers, chisels, trowels, slickers, strikers and most day today tools fit in this bag. I wish they had two inside pockets for smaller stuff but I'll take the American craftsmanship over the Chinese alternatives. Lose the zipper idea that eventually fail and sew two inner pockets inside. I'll grab a fresh one every year.

These bags were, originally, coal, holding 50 pounds of coal each. In their day they were not trendy, but they were tough, and they still are. I used to work on a square topsail schooner with a coal stove in the galley. Every year we had to load about 30 of these bags, and hoist each bag onto the ship with a hook attached to a whip. They bags were stowed in the hold, and the galley boy hauled them out, one at a time to fire the stove. Those bags worked hard, and they seemed to last indefinitely. These are those bags!

Great bag for packing tons of items and strong enough to manage significant weight. I purchased it as a gift and had it monogrammed for a family with a camp/cabin to go back and forth to all Summer. They loved it!

Very sturdy tote. Protects those heavier items you do t want breaking.

I'm in my 50s and have been using LL Bean Boat and Tote bags since I was a kid. I always order them with a monogram or a fun reference to what the bag will be used for. These haven't really changed over the years (unlike so many other things!) and wear like iron. I'm a fan of the open top with shorter handles. It's a preppy classic that looks great wherever you take it!

This bag is beautiful and very well made. The fabric is substantial enough that the bag stands upright, which is very useful. I am recommending them to everyone I know.

The best beach bag. So classic & the perfect size.

I bought my LL Bean Boat & Tote bag over 40 years ago and it's still going strong.

At first when I bought it I was hesitant. After I received the bag and used it once I immediately fell in love with it! I use it every day!

Always used these as totes. Use this little guys as a purse. Black trim elevates the relaxed style of this bag

Always had the bigger totes, but love this size. Quality on the mark!

Old faithful for an everyday beach bag that fits all the necessities. Easy to carry and transport; doesn't fall over. Takes a beating. When they get too old or dirty, they make a great tool bag or garden tote.

Yet another LL Bean tote bag! But they never change. Always the best quality. This one should last another 15 years!!

This bag is perfect for my 9-5 and day trip outings! The canvas of the bag is strong which makes me confident in how much weight I can put into the bag. My everyday work essentials make traveling to and from work easy and a perfect size for a decent sized personal item for my trips out of state!

The LL Bean canvas totes have served me well for many years. The only disappointment was they went on sale a week after I ordered mine.
