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

This is the fourth canvas tote I have bought over the years and I just love them! They are so well made and will last forever. This last purchase was for my grandson. We needed a tote full of things my grandson could do at church to keep him busy and quiet. We call it his busy bag!

I have been needing to replace my old beach bag for a while, so I decided to try out the Boat and Tote. I initially liked it for the long straps (optional) and the fact that it zips shut to protect my things. Upon receiving it, I like it even better. It is very thick material and came with a card that explains that it is hand-sewn in Maine. It feels super high-quality and is much more durable than my last bag. The straps are comfortable, and I can fit a lot of things (2 beach towels, water bottle, some snacks, and small items like wallet, keys, sunscreen, etc.). I got the one with navy blue accents, and I love the gold zipper. I'm going to use this bag all the time. My only complaint is that there is no small interior or exterior pocket, just the main opening, so my keys and small items fall to the bottom. It would be amazing if there was a small interior or side pocket for the little things.

Exactly as promised with ample room inside, sturdy construction and a quality zipper.

This is a great everyday bag for the warmer months. Having a zippered top ensures that the contents are secure.

Love all of USA made LLBean bags! I wash mine in the front loader washing machine and air dry- no worries.

My family member was looking for a tote bag similar to this, she was very happy with the bag.

love the roominess of the large bag and it's sturdy and elegant at the same time. The monogram is beautiful. I love it so much, I ordered the exact same bag in medium!! I can't wait to receive it!!!

Sturdy, durable and very well made carry On bag. Perfect for carrying all of my art supplies and it has a zipper to keep things from falling out.

High quality bags. I use them for multiple purposes. They are built to last. Own many of them for work and personal use.

I am a yoga instructor. I use this bag to carry my yoga blocks, singing bowl, portable speaker and small diffuser. I love that it zips so I never have to worry about anything falling out when I am driving from class to class. I clip my water bottle to the handles without any worry that the handles will break. This is a very sturdy bag.

It was everything I had hoped for and more!! Can't wait to use it at the beach this summer!!

Perfect bag for work! I have a few boat and totes and they have all lasted for many years so I know they are good quality. I also love the zip top on this one so everything doesn't fall out

Purchased 2 bags for "gifts". A most useful gift for whom ever has as they say, "Has every thing". Every one can use these bags, so many uses, durable, and even as an alternative to disposable bags when shopping. We have numerous sizes and a week doesn't go by and we use one or more for various activities. Just today ordered a large zippered for personal use, as liked the "All Black" color option.

The one and only tote I purchase and have been purchasing for the past 45 years. Quality is the same today as it was back then. Can't say that about too many things today.

This is a perfect Tote for so many reasons! Roomy, easy to carry, easy to either zip or leave open, stands on its own which is a big plus. This is a gift, the monogramming is beautiful. Decided to give it to a bride-to-be with 2 LLBean beach towels inside for a couple who are always on the go outdoors! I know it will last for years.

I bought 5 personalized large zippered bags for my grandchildren to use for the beach or travel. They absolutely love them! Very well made! The best purchase ever!!!

It is durable, well made and with a zipper top keeps "stuff" inside if/when it falls over.

Great product, worth the wait! Looks like it will last forever!

Very nice and spacious. Long handles and durable fabric.

AMAZING BAG!!!! I love the EVERYTHING about this bag 100%! I have wanted it for awhile and now I have it. Hard core durability, attractive, quick access to things I need to take with me camping, visiting for an evening. Toss it in!!! The sturdy zipper is a must have feature. Thank you LL BEAN!!!!

Love this bag! It is perfect for just about anything. I use it for groceries, as an overnight bag, and even as a pool bag.

Amazing quality! This bag is the best, size and quality are unparalleled.

You cannot go wrong with LLBean Boat and Totes! I own at least thirty in various colors and sizes and I can always find a reason to buy another. This tote, in large, holds a lot and keeps its shape when standing up either full or empty. It is a great size as an overnight bag because it can hold clothes, shoes, and toiletries. This size tote is great for travel because the tote is lightweight but sturdy. It is also great for storage or beach trips or as a diaper bag. I highly recommend this great LLBean product!

Great bag for those extra things! I've given this bag with monogram as gifts and it's always well received. Children love it for daycare or school extras.

A bit back ordered, but LLBean offered timely updates and the tote and monogram were perfect upon arrival. It was a birthday gift for a little girl that I had asked she to pick out the thread color for the handles and her name. It was like magic coming to life when she saw it. She LOVED it!
