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

I purchased this as a gift for my recently engaged friend. I embroidered the last name she decided to take and she loved this gift. It is very useful and the quality and construction of the bag is great!

An article either in the Boston Globe or New York Times featured boat and tote bags with unconventional monograms. My man friend recently had his 1972 BMW worked on and made road-ready after ten years in the garage. BMW- riders are called Airheards, so I had the idea of getting him a monogrammed tote for the back of his bike. Can't wait to give it to him!

I needed a new one, have used the same one many times over the years, perfect size, the zipper is great, works for everything, even for carrying a dog on the subway!

The medium tote wish long handles is amazing!! I use it for work, for travel, for hauling groceries in NYC and it keeps its shape SO well!

You can never go wrong with these totes. 1,000 and 1 uses. Thanks LLBean for always putting quality first.

Perfect bag for my husband to take his work equipment to work!

I went with the medium zippered tote and long handles this time for traveling. I have several LL Bean totes. They're durable and last a long time. The monogram makes me just love them more!

Strong & functional multipurpose bag. I use it as an overnight travel bag. It just needs a pocket.

Loving my Boat and Tote. Love them so much I bought two different sizes. Same color and monogram.

As always, Love the Boat and Tote. It's not my first. Will not be my last. Fan, huge fan.

Good quality. Plenty of room. The sides stand up which is important when it's not completely full. The monogram was perfectly done

This is actually a Christmas gift for our son, but I have one myself, so I know it's great already. I like the zipper tops. Our daughter also has one.

Perfect mom bag for me as my 3yr old gets older. The medium can hold a snack box, two water bottles, change of clothes/pull-ups, small toys, AND my wallet/phone/keys. Sometimes I can even fit a jacket or two. I'm obsessed. I want a million more!

I have 2 others for my children that we love and have had for 7+ years each. They last a long time and are good quality.

These are the best totes! Get the extra long handle and the zipper for carrying around all of the things you could possible need. Be careful though, this is the size that you could overdo it on as it will hold so much!

It is well constructed and will hold up vigorously to anything I place inside. Beautiful dark green was my choice.

Top Quality product! Pretty much lasts a lifetime. I have this same bag that I used throughout my teaching career, over 30 years. It was my signature trademark. People knew my bag! In the summer, it became my beach bag! It's even in a painting my husband had done for a 25th wedding anniversary present to me, of me and my girls walking to the beach in Hawaii. I purchased this one as a gift to my daughter who is becoming a teacher just like me! I got hers with a monogram.

Thank you for the beautiful bridesmaid gifts!!! Love them so much that the bride even ordered one too!!!!

Exactly what I wanted for a wedding present. I had it monogrammed and filled with crudites items!

Great bag, very robust in construction - sits up by itself when placed on ground. Got white on white with short handle. Zippered closure that can be tucked aside to not be used, but great to have that feature. The short handle is ok, tough to get it around the shoulder for me (not a big person, 5'5" 140lbs), probably would have gotten the long handles. Beautiful bag.

Great bag that fits so much! Love the wine color and am happy with the large size (larger than I expected but great for groceries/packages).

Love these bags! We have several and they hold up well and look good.

Great bag. Perfect traveling with my dog. It fits everything I need to almost every trip.

I love this tote bag. They are really sturdy and well made. They last a long time.

I purchased two of these totes, one for each of my grandchildren--with their names. My daughter uses them constantly whether it's for bringing toys to the beach or --minus sand-- for traveling. They're strong, easy to handle, and don't take up a lot of space when not in use. I got them in different colors so they would be easy to identify from a distance.
