Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Zip Top Boat and Tote Small

Such a perfect bag for everyday use and on the go!

I'm so obsessed with this bag. It's sturdy and very high-quality, I know it will last me a lifetime. I use the large as my personal item on flights and it holds so much and fits perfectly under the seat in front of me. I love it so much I ordered a small to use while running to the farmers market or the library.

It's a classic for a reason. Love these for lake days. Get the zipper so nothing comes loose when under way. Also, I love a cheeky little monogram.

Love the tote. Good quality and sizing. Like having the zipper. The monogramming was nicely done.

I bought this in a store after contemplating for over a month. It had been on my top tote bags and I needed one with a zipper; I was sick of thing falling out when I was running around. It is PERFECT! I am in love with the olive color and how the zipper piece adds more space to the bag. I would buy another in a heartbeat. I do wish the handles on the medium were like an inch longer for an over the shoulder carry with a jacket on. I would get the long handles if I got another medium.

The couple who received this gift is delighted. We added a monogram.

I've bought many bags these past few months. Absolutely love them!! Holds a ton of stuff.

I gave this as a personalized gift, and my daughter loves it. It was backordered for several months, but when it finally came it was perfect.

I ordered this tote to pack abd carry items for our dog when traveling. I had her name monogramed on it. A great place to store her travel water bottle, extra leashes, etc. Quality/very well made!

Very nice zippered bag idea for trips to vacation destinations

Bought the long handles, large sized tote. It is the perfect bag for a commuter, or someone traveling places overnight. The cream/black color way is timeless - I couldn't be happier!

Fast delivery, gave to a bride to be with her new initials monogrammed on it, everything came out perfect!

I purchased a large tote with long straps and zip top with my daughter's monogram and it is a perfect weekend bag. It's so well-constructed, a perfect size and an absolute classic. It will be her go to for many years.

This bag is so well constructed of high quality materials. Our daughters had been given this LL Bean bag as a high school graduation gift and they have continued to use it for travel purposes, etc. Both their bags have withstood many years of use and continue to look and function great! We recently gave this excellent bag to a high school graduate. We had the bag monogrammed. What an outstanding graduation gift- or any occasion gift!

I bought the madras plaid in size small back in 2012. It has been my summer purse since then. I even wash it on delicate at the end of the season and it has stayed sturdy and pretty. Each year for the last few years, I have wondered if it was looking a little tired and i should replace it. And each year I find the natural sides to be too boring to buy. I even think of buying one and trying to Rit Dye it. I would love, love, love if you would bring back the madras option. And the madras dress while you are at it.

The tote is super durable and the personalization came out amazing. Love the tote.

I love this bag! The embroidery is perf, it is soo sturdy and holds so much stuff

Great quality. Bought this bag for my grandson for his 4th birthday. He was thrilled to get a bag with his name on it. I plan to buy more for gifts.

These bags are nearly indestructible, look great and hold everything I need wherever I'm going. When I finally get back home, I just toss them in the wash if needed. Perfect.

I received the bag smelling like a musty cellar. I left it open for almost two weeks and the smell seems to have evaporated. I should not have had to do that. Otherwise, I love the bag. This bag looks nice, handles easy, nice color, great for small items.

Sturdy lasts forever this is our 4th bag!! Love these!

Love this tote! It's big enough to carry all the things I need. The stitching is stunning, the monogramming was perfect.

This holds everything I like to carry daily. It has enough room to hold my traveler's notebook, ivy printer, kindle, and utility bag. I could easily hold more! The quality is great as expected. Love these tried and true totes.

Love the LL Bean Boat and Tote! I have 2 zip top and 1 open (for me, the kid, and the dog). I recommend getting the zip top even if you think you won't use it because you might and also the extra boarder of color when folded in looks nice. Had a slight issue with monogram on one and customer service was excellent. Will be buying more for gifts!

Love this bag as an everyday purse! Bought a small purse organizer and still have room to fit a water bottle. Absolutely love it!
