Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

I like it, but I thought it had a zipper at the top and I know I can't return it because it's monogrammed

I ordered the medium bag I color slate and it was way darker than the photo. I also ordered it with a circle monogram and it was way too small for the bag and the color is way off. The size and quality is well just the colors are not accurate.

This Boat and Tote is my first one bought. I had my last name personalized. I ordered it early June, said it was on backorder and to expect it and of July. Then there was an update, and the expected date was early September. Mid August I received an email that it would be shipping. My Tote arrived the day before my Birthday! My special gift to me!

This item is my signature baby gift for the last 15 years. The cost of the tiny monogrammed bag continues to increase with each child I celebrate. Additionally, each time I order there is a significant. Back order for the item . At this rate the babies will be walking before I get this item! LL Bean is not the retail powerhouse it was 30 years ago you'd think they could at the least have quick shipping for one of their most famous items. There is another company that sells a similar bag with monogrammed that I may end up switching to but I am a long time LLBean Masterr Card holder which provides free shipping and monogramming the only reason I have it and will be considering calling the account. Upside thr quality of the totes remain high.

Just received my tote after waiting a month for it to arrive. The quality is nothing like the tote I am replacing...fabric does not feel durable, monogram is small for size of bag, overall not like the one I'm replacing from 2005. I hope this will make it 20 years but I can't say I'm hopeful.

I ordered my bag while it was on back ordered so I was so excited to finally receive it in the mail. Unfortunately the stitching on the bag was terribly done. I have two other boat and totes that are amazing quality. I'm not sure if the one I received is defective or if the quality has diminished. I was kindly offered a return slip to see if my bag qualified for an exchange but I would have to wait another month as it is back ordered once again.

I ordered a specific color for a baby gift in February and two times the shop date was moved with a final ship of June. I had to change colors to get it there sooner.

Love the bag but the seams on the side are noticeably damaged. Threading is flawed and continuously loose along one side of the bag. Also waited 4 months for it so disappointed to open the package and notice the immediate quality concern.

Sm Boat Tote Unfortunately this item has not yet been received. It was meant as a gift for Christmas.

For the price I was very dissatisfied. The size of name embroidered was way too small for the size of the bag. The scale and size of letters should have matched the size of the bag. Also there was no matching color thread for the blue color of bag. So the color of thread and scale of lettering looks ridiculous and awkward. The exposed uncut stitching of the sides of bag looked unfinished also. I had to trim the unfinished edges off. I purposely ordered from LL bean expecting a high quality, however I have ordered same product with a much better price and results from Etsy. I won't buy this from LL bean ever again. I feel ripped off. Huge disappointment. This was a gift and I was embarrassed!

While the product is lovely there was much confusion in the ordering process. In early November or late October I placed this order for the bag with the monogram placing it very early as it would be a Christmas present somehow the order got canceled and it wasn't until the end of January that I finally received it

The person didn't know who sent the gift said there was no letter please make it more obvious in packaging!

These are nice and have lasted us a few years but they are spot clean which sucks because I want to clean the entire inside. Wish I would have gone with something machine washable

I ordered this with long handles and it did not come this way. The short handles are tiny.

The tote that arrived was much larger than I thought. I was purchasing based on the description in the catalog

Embroidery may be off center when getting customizations.

It was honestly way larger than photos show. I was a bit disappointed :(((

Disappointed with quality, opened up the tote and realized a lot of the threading wasn't done well. A lot of loose ends, frayed edges. Seemed like the quality control may have been off.

This tote is just the cutest. Very sturdy, well made...however the monogram was TERRIBLE!!! Missing stitches in some letters and other letters were overstitched. So excited when it arrived then so disappointed when I opened it. Customer service gal was amazing and got another ordered for me.

I really wanted this bag in all white and was thrilled that it was now available. Sadly, the large is too large and I gave it to my granddaughter. I would be unable to lift it if it was fully packed. I will order a medium size with my next llbean order.

Purchased a few personalized totes pre-pandemic for gifts, for use as grocery totes. More sturdy than the plastic- like ones I'm stores. However, though the three I purchased recently is made of the same sturdy heavy duty canvas, I think the stitching is not heavy enough and are too large to hold up if anything as heavy as groceries are placed in them. They would be ok for beach or picnic supplies, but there needs to be extra bar-tacking at the bottom corners. Not complete satisfied with the recent totes.

I am Disappointed in this boat and tote bag. The fabric is very stiff. The monogram is quite small, not at all like the website and the paper catalog represent it. The red color is great, very vibrant, but the monogram is small is average looking. I wish I bought the bag without the monogram.

I have been an avid LLBean customer since moving to Maine 11 yrs ago. Their customer service can't be beat, their floor staff (flagship store in Freeport, ME) are wonderful & helpful. What surprised me the most is when I ordered the small tote with regular handles and found the craftsmanship less than ideal. The bottom corners when folded up & stitched, were off center which changed the shape of the bottom of the bag a lot. Since I live within an hour of Freeport, I will return in person, but again, was disappointed at the workmanship. I hope this is not a reflection of what is to come.

My bag is already fraying on the sides - I have carried it twice- I'm so disappointed.
