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

I absolutely love this bag. Got it monogrammed with my 3 initials in the same canvas color.

I like that it is stiff enough to stand up on its own, but it does hurt if you put heavy stuff and try to carry it on the crook of your arm. I love that I can zip it if I want to but most of the time the zipper is laying perfectly flat on the inside of the tote. Overall, I think its great I use it as a backpack for my summer semester. The only thing is I might try to soften the straps and wax the outside to make a little more waterproof ( it can randomly rain out here in the midwest ).

Such a durable and awesome bag! It carries so much stuff and a love how comfortable/convenient the long straps are. Love this bag!

Love these bags and have them in all sizes. You won't go wrong in purchasing these tote bags.

Beautiful bag and the monogram color matches perfectly. Durable, sturdy and perfect for any job.

Great bag. Love the zipper option. Makes it perfect for weekend beach trips

Makes a wonderful personalized gift for friends and family.

Perfect bag! So useful and very well made, absolutely love the large with long handles!

I got this as a graduation gift for my girlfriend!!! She loved it so much and is looking forward to using it up in college. Quality was fantastic and delivery was quick!

Well made bag. I love how firm it is. Great material.

The bag worked great for my week down the shore. The only ding I can give is to have a zipper pouch attached to bag. A pouch to put keys, wallet small items. Attached in a way its accessible.

My daughter loved this item. She took towels and pool supplies for the entry family.

Love that this back zips closed. Most bags this size do not. It is the perfect bag for a long weekend, picnic, beach day with the kids.

Still one of my favorite tote bags. Great quality and perfect for travel

The zip top is a game changer for this classic bag! I love the look of a boat and tote plus it's multipurpose use but now that it's offered with a zip top, it is hard to beat. No worries about tip overs and spills of all of your belongings!

This bag is well made and very functional. I always monogram the front as I usually send it to mothers with very young children and it's always appreciated.

Truly the best bag. My mom had them made for us growing up, and now I am able to get them for our kids and friends. It's perfect for a weekend bag or going over to grandma's!

I had a 2 month wait for this bag (although it arrived a little earlier) and it was worth it! This bag holds so much for it's size, looks timeless, and the dirt can be washed off of it. I'm a huge fan of this brand and can't believe I waited this long to purchase this tote!

Love love this tote. Im a backpack girly, but this boat and tote is my go to. The big is sturdy, the zip top closure is a plus and the embroidery is beautiful.

Gave this as a gift. It was great, except the monogram was a little messed up.

Bought this for a friend. She has used it multiple times and loves it. Good quality that stands up well !!

I had been wanting this bag for a long time and finally broke down and bought it when we took our family to the beach. Why didn't I buy this sooner!!! It was the perfect beach bag! I was debating to buy with zipper or without. I'm so glad I bought with the zipper. It worked great on the plane and then for afternoon beach showers. The zipper part tucks down nicely so you don't even know it's there if you don't always want it. For the plane I put in an organizer to keep thinks straight. For the beach I took the organizer out and threw everything in.

I ordered the white bag with royal blue trim. It's beautiful. I have 3 medium ones and used as an example. I compared the the measurements with the extra large, but am obviously not a good visualizer. It was larger than I anticipated and exchanged it for the large. It's very well made. They are a great bag for the price.

Such great quality! I got the XL with long handles. Would absolutely order again! Lots of room, I would definitely order another in a smaller size as well for everyday use.

My daughter started giving these totes as wedding presents so I decided to gift each of our siblings with one when they arrived in Maine for our son's wedding. They were thrilled!! We have many sizes of this bag, as many as 30 years old and still going strong.
