Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

New look / design - less bottom trim - the color that matches the handles - what a surprise to see this so small. I have had these bags for years and the color came up a couple inches on the sides. On the recent purchase maybe an inch. The photo is accurate - much smaller. A change to a classic that might not be the best.

The monogram is small and does not fit for the size of the bag. Looks bad. Very disappointed

I purchased 5 of these bags but only 1 was delivered on time. In fact, 1 order want canceled on me after a month of delays, and another I'm still waiting for after 2 months. Cute but not worth the wait.

The quality's all over the place. It's a good bag overall, but there are so many minor details that make me wonder how nobody caught them.

Love this bag so much and purchased for my daughter's baby shower. It said "boy mom" but when it arrived it was very off-centered. Disappointed because I waited several weeks and it was a gift.

Almost Perfect, but Concerned About the Seam I love the size and style of the L.L.Bean Boat and Tote it's sturdy, holds everything I need. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 5 is because the seam looks a little loose, and I'm worried it might come apart over time. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Good quality bag, the monogram was smaller than expected.

The product was great. However, I placed the order in May for my daughter's birthday and the order kept getting backordered and did not arrive until August 16th.

Love the bag but super wrinkled and can't get it out.

Love the size of this bag and will use it a lot. The only issue is the straps. They literally stand straight up at all times and have no give. Hopefully they will soften over time so the straps will fall to the side. Other than that, it's a great bag. Would buy again.

I have several Boat and Tote, some are many years old. This one arrived with sloppy unfinished edges. They are sending me a new one but it is backordered and will not be here in time for what I ordred it for. I will still use it but disappointed it will not be here in time.

Took almost 3 months to get this bag. Arrived after my daughters birthday and was not pleased with the monogram.

I was disappointed with the amount of time it took to receive my tote. I waited several months and when it was due to arrive I was given notice that it was delayed another 30 days. Its material is very hard and stiff. Very difficult to use. It's pretty, but not necessarily worth the wait.

The extra large is too big and the Large is too small. I returned the extra large and got the large, but I can't fit all of my organ music and organ shoes in it. And there is no pocket on the outside for small stuff.

Bring back pocket in the front. Old bag had longer straps also

I got this in a Medium which I like. It can fit a fair amoung without seeming bulky. Then I ordered small. It is well-made and cute looking. But it seems heavy, especially when there are several items in it. Maybe it will become more flexible over time.

Love the bean tote but the stitching is terrible! Super crooked disappointed by that

I ordered one size too small. Needed the next size up.

Bag is great quality and very sturdy. Embroidery is lackluster. I ordered 4 bags all with the same specifications, just different names for my bachelorette and the actual embroidery is very poor in my opinion. It looks very rushed and I know the bags would have looked a lot better if I would have just taken them to my local embroidery place. Bummed I spent $32 to get them embroidered at L.L.Bean for them to turn out just "okay." I was going to order myself another bag from here, but after seeing the quality of the personalization, and feeling kind of jipped, I am unsure if I will reorder.

I wasn't happy with the color on the monogram.not accurate of website!

I thought it had a zipper-probably my mistake but a bummer

looks unfinished because of the loose threads at the end of some seams

I waited 30 yrs for this bag and after receiving it I was so disappointed now it sits in my room I use it as a laundry basket

Unlike the competition's canvas bag, this one had no interior or exterior pockets. I bought this for an office Christmas exchange and was very disappointed. I will be returning it. On the plus side, it is quality canvas. Just way too basic.

I was really disappointed that this tote had no pockets inside or out. That was one thing I didn't notice when I ordered. Pockets are so important for keys, wallet, phone, etc. to keep them away from the towels especially when wet.
