Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

I love this tote. I've had an XL with long handles since I was a teen (almost 20 years), had to get a new one (with an updated monogram) when I got married. The bag is perfect for two people on a long weekend and the long handles make it easy to carry!

I absolutely love this tote! I use it for work everyday and know it will last me a very long time. Such a quality piece. AND I really like the monogram!

Same sturdy well built little boat and tote that you have always expected and in a very nice variety of colors. What I found particularlly helpful with this order, is that I have never been very good at relating measurements to actual size and have frequently ordered something too big for my needs. Now LL Bean has someone holding the bag in the preview which made it much easier to get exactly the size I needed......super.

I love these bags. These bags are my go to presents for friends with new babies. I add the monogram to the bag and it becomes a very special present. I love that they are made in America.

I would just like to say that this is the first thing I have ever purchased from L.L. Bean and I have not been disappointed. You can tell it is very well made from the stitching. Although I have had this bag for under 2 weeks, I have already used it to haul groceries and things that I needed to return. I opted to get the longer handles, as well. I know that the tote will last a very long time and I'm actually going to get another one, but in a smaller size. Please note that if you have your eye on the extra-large size, IT IS MASSIVE. I could fit about 3 toddlers in my tote, so take that into consideration when purchasing this item. These totes expand a lot bigger than you think, so it's excellent if you have kids or something. Just pay attention to sizing!

Love the tote but disappointed color options are no longer available

It was a gift for my daughter. It was supposed to be for Christmas. I ordered the first week of December, but it didn't come in until mid January. She loves it though!

I love how robust my tote bag is, but there were so many loose threads - whoever was responsible for QA was not doing their job. It looks tacky with all the loose threads

Perfect beach tote! It fits everything needed and it's super sturdy. Got mine personalized and while it was a tad off center, I understand these are hand sewn and really appreciate it!

Love the bag not the short handles. This bag is an everyday bag even for work.

A traditional L.L. Bean item. Goid quality but, unfortunately, expensive.

I bought 2 large totes with long handles for my kids. I'm loading them up with their Christmas gifts. I love the bags so much I bought one for myself.

Would be better if a little taller. Seems unbalanced

To start this was my first time ordering this tote. With that being said the medium was a bit smaller than I expected but that is my fault for not paying attention to the measurements. It is very well made and the bag itself is pretty stiff so I don't think it will lose shape. I did have it embroidered which makes it feel custom. My only complaint is I chose brown thread and it was very light in color more like a burnt gold.

Absolutely adorable! and it fits so many things. However, I do wish the straps were a little longer to fit over the shoulder.

The bag is nice and sturdy but I wish they would make them in colors other than white like they use to. The white shows the dirt whereas darker colors did not. Please bring back the colored bags.

The bag is very well made.the stitching is beautiful. I liked the personal touch of adding a card that said who made it. My only issue is I wouldn't recommend the short straps. I think once I break it in it'll be better, but I got my sister the long straps and it gives the bag so many additional possibilities.

I'm always happy to repurchase these. I have many and I buy as gifts, also. I had a medium in my cart to get after this one and imagine my surprise when the price increased $10/on each bag overnight. $10. This is significant increase and very disappointing. The quality is A+ but I'm taking a star off for the increase alone. I won't be so quick to buy another.

I love the color and how sturdy the bag is, it holds everything I need for travel for work. I am just giving it a 4-star because it took a while to get the bag.

It's great. My daughter ordered me a boat and tote in early April, it was shipped early June, but never arrived. Had to be refunded. Disappointed in the shipping of the other bag, but lucky I could find a similar bag in store.

As the timex commercial proudly states, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. The same can be said of the canvas tote. Whomever I have gifted it to has yet to complain.

I bought this as a surprise gift for my mom! I got it custom monogrammed and she was so happy when she got it! My mom loves a casual yet classy look so this bag is perfect for her.

The small boat and tote are a perfect everyday purse, and the extra-long handles are usually very nice with them. They do not sit well though and the straps might lead the bag to tip over.

I only gave this 4 stars because it can be a little cumbersome due to the size and inflexibility of the material, but it's perfect for road trips when you need something for shoes or coats or food items, etc.

This is my second tote. My first small one. Was disappointed with the size of the engraved name. Otherwise I would of given a 5 star. I feel that the size of the my engraved name only was 4 letters and should of been larger.
