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

The boat & tote bags are of the highest quality. You won't find a sturdier bag. Use them at the boat in the summer & to store things in winter. I own several and have also given them as gifts. Always a hit.

I ordered the small bag with the long handles, zipper, and a monogram (initials). My bag is navy/white and the size, quality, and colors are exactly what I expected from LLBean---the best!!!!! I ordered this particular size to hold books for a class I am taking and it is absolutely perfect. The long handles allow me to carry it over my shoulder, the zip top protects everything from falling out, and the bag is so sturdy I know it will last for many years and many more books. I have other LLBean boat and tote bags for other uses and they are all wonderful, but I think this one is my favorite because it's so cute and the initials monogram looks so pretty.

Well made, heavy material. Very nice quality. A bit larger than I expected. Best of all, made here in the USA!

Tote bag was a gift. Recipient loved the gift!

As always, LLBean did a perfect job with workmanship, catalog pictures and description. customer service and shipping. I highly recommend this tote bag and LLBean. Excellent experience. Thank you.

I purchased the medium Zip-Top for my husbands commute to work. He stuffs it with lunch, water, etc. The zippers prevents disasters. A great investment!

EVERYONE AT THE PARTY LOVED THIS SURPRISE GIFT

This is the second one with long handles and zipper that I purchase as a Christmas gift for my sister. She wore the first one out, meaning till the handle frayed! She had everything one could imagined in there! I ordered the same one except in a different color. She does still use the other one, but it now holds all the dog balls for throwing! I want to say that I bought it about 12 years ago. I also have different sizes of these bags! Love the Bean Bags!!

Over the years we have bought several of these tote bags. None have worn out, we just like them so much that we continue to buy them as gifts. The XL zippered ones with long handles are capable of carrying everything but the proverbial kitchen sink.

I bought this Tote for my daughter to use as her daycare bag. Now that it's winter, I send a change of clothes along with all her winter gear(snow pants, jacket, boots, mittens). This is the perfect size with some room to spare! In the summer months, there will be plenty of room for her beach towel, change of clothes, bathing suit, sunscreen and some beach toys. I highly recommend!

Best baby gift ever. I have sent over 200 of these. I should be getting a free one by now!LOL.Quality is great. Customer service is great. My go to gift.One comment from a father was that when u name a baby it takes awhile for the name to sink in. But when the personalized bag comes from L.L.Bean u know the name is cast in stone. Everyone loves this gift.

So pleased with the tote... sturdy and holds a lot! My grandchildren loved their names on the bags!! Will definitely order again! Embroidery is beautiful!

I have been using these totes for many years and find them strong, durable, washable and fairly stylish. The lifetime warranty also gives you piece of mind that if anything does go wrong, it will be fixed! A great buy...And American made! Recommended.

Just what I wanted for Christmas gifts. Big, roomy and sturdy. Filled with a blanket, a few games and books, and it's the perfect present for a family!

Bought this bag to take on a airline that restricts size of carryons free of charge. Looked up this size and this is perfect. I'm going to carry the description along if they try to charge me. I like it.

This product was very excellent on material and seam was verynice. Love it. Very handy and even you put a lot of stuff it was very nice that they can really handle everything. I It.

This the 3rd tote I've purchased. They are rugged and attractive. The recipients of the first 2 have put them to hard use with no problems. Excellent product.

The fabric is sturdy and of great weave tight weave. I sew & the stitching is consistent with excellent construction !

I just purchased my 11th Boat and Tote bag for my 11th grandchild. This is a perfect bag for them to pack their Pj's, favorite toy and blanket and visit Nana's house. Mommy and Daddy love them too. Sturdy and personalized with their name. There are so many color choices that each have their own.

This bag either used to belong to Mary Poppins or is a portal to Narnia. The amount of stuff that you can cram into it is staggering and the construction is of such high quality that you are guaranteed not to split a seam. The waterproof properties make it an excellent bag to carry your gear (whatever it may be) in less than ideal weather. If you are planning a daring escapade to loot a dragon's hoard, this is the bag to carry. I cannot recommend it strongly enough.

I use this bag when I go overnight. It holds EVERYTHING that I need-clothing, makeup, accessories...whatever I feel I need to take. It zips and nothing falls out and is lost. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a secure and stylish boat and tote bag.

I really love this bag. It's perfect for my art supplies and the quality is second to none.

I just love this bag arrived on time and looks so nice peony colored handle is very pretty

I bought 3 of these Boat and Tote bags (two as gifts and one for me) and we love them! They are perfect for overnight or weekend trips. Great quality and they arrived within one week of ordering.

I'm a frequent traveler and use the tote for every flight as my "personal item" along with a carryon rolling suitcase/briefcase. It holds a lot, can stuff my purse in it, and it still fits under the seat-get a dark color that won't show dirt. Currently I sit it on top of the roll-aboard to get through the airport, but it doesn't stay put, have to wrap the handles around and through the roll-aboard handle and hang on to it. PLEASE consider offering the option of a wide canvas band on the back to slide over the roll-aboard pull handle to hold it on top. Width of opening needs to be about 8 in. x 5-6 in. high.
