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

I now have one of the Boat and Totes in every color!!! Love Love Love them!!! Sturdiest tote Ive ever owned. They just keep going forever and the more you use them the better they look!!!

The longer handle made it really comfortable to carry the bag on the shoulder; it's a must have. My daughter enjoys traveling with it as her carry-on personal item. The top zipper keeps her things in securely.

I love this thing. I consider it an essential item in my home--I use it for groceries, dry cleaning, dog toys, beach stuff, gym stuff...honestly it is amazing and everyone should own one, or two. ;)

Love the quality and size. Looks classy. I got the small size to use as a summer purse. Made well and will last a long time. Just wish it had a small compartment.

Since the pandemic I wanted a purse to suit my needs (sanitary etc.). I have many handbags. This tote has made my shopping etc. easier.

Love this bag. The only thing I would change would be monogrammed on both sides.

Perfect for shopping, work or anything else. Very study and well made.

I have several of these totes. Not too big, not too small perfect for everyday use, keeps everything I need neat and orderly so I can get to it when I need it. Most useful when traveling. It stands upright on it's own, doesn't fall over particularly with stuff inside. Great for carrying my book and small purse to the pool. Would be nice if they could put a small pocket on the side for my cell phone but the phone doesn't get lost when placed inside.

Great bag, great quality. Has already been used many times in a month for beach gear and traveling. My only wish is that it had a few pockets. I've found myself digging around for things like my phone or keys which fell to the bottom. I'm sure this bag will last forever!

Bought this for a wedding anniversary present for our friends. Got it monogrammed and it turned out perfect! We loved how it turned out but more importantly they loved it!

This bag has the same high quality but with an added layer of safety with a zipper. When not in use, the zipper and extra material fit nicely against the inside of the bag making it easy to load and unload. When zipped, it fits down in the bag or raises up about 4 inches to give you extra room for taller things. Great size, great quality and beautiful color.

LL Bean boat bags are a staple item and last for SO LONG! I bought this for my sister as a wedding gift and the monogram came out perfectly too.

Love the durability and size of the XL, Long, Boat and Tote. It's great for fitting all the pool gear and snacks for our family. Sure beats carrying many bags plus children! The long handles make it nice to swing over your shoulder - especially with the large size. The only upgraded feature I wish it had was an internal small pocket for keys/phone/wallet so they're easy to grab in transition.

Please please bring back the option of building your own tote - choosing body and accent colors, handle length, and size. In the past I ordered many for family members letting them personalize their bags. I really miss this option. I would order more if these options were available again.

Love this classic tote. The canvas is sturdy and the stitching is strong. Perfect for filling for a day at the beach or park. The personalization options are great, love the monogramming. I ordered the large tote with the long handles, to ensure it was easy to carry over the shoulder when full. The zipper close is helpful.

I've gifted these to our Nursery School teachers twice now from our parent rep group, both times to RAVE reviews. I didn't get to see them each in person this time, but I heard from one that she already had all her stuff loaded in to go home the same day she received it! I opt for the long handles with a zipper top for these kind of gifts.

I have had an ivory / light blue LL Bean tote for decades and it was time to get a new and different one, even though my old tote is still in fine condition. I love the longer navy blue handles and larger tote which I ordered this time. It's super cute and also utilitarian for my work and travels.

GREAT quality cotton! It's very sturdy & a roomy size! I love that it has a zipper! I will use it often!

This is the perfect bag for the boat or the beach! It can fit so much, I am super happy with my purchase and reccomend the bag to all of my friends!

I recently bought this as a tote for things from work. I want to have just one big bag instead of several small ones. It is so much more than that! The quality is outstanding. The durability excellent. I am going to order a couple of more as gifts!

Very durable tote that has the advantage of a zippered top, which helps contain items if/when tipped over. Well made, very reasonable price. Long straps an added plus.

How many stars can you give a Bean Bag, never enough, quality as you expect. You can count on having this bag for a longtime

Love giving these away as new baby gifts. They are functional and stylish.

I am so very pleased!! We have several locations to go to - cabin, boat, etc, so keeping things that come to our house organized is important. I bought 3 of these totes. They are perfect. I had them monogrammed and that was done exactly the way I had ordered it. They came really fast - I was expecting it to take weeks with the monogramming - it was just over a week!! The products are excellent and hold up under the usual rough handling on a boat and going to a cabin. Very pleased!!

I actually purchased one medium tote for work and one large (monogrammed) tote for play! Got both with zippers to keep my stuff IN the bag when I'm in the car, and I was pleasantly surprised that the zippers are gold-colored - beautiful! Great quality all the way around, vivid colors. Totes are as described. I have no doubt these will last for years! I plan on purchasing more as Christmas gifts.
