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

I bought this bag to carry my baby's toys when we travel. It's been perfect for that. I love how structured the bag is so it easily stands upright and keeps it shape. The zipper portion ensures nothing is going to fall out as we're moving about. It's the perfect size to carry a slew of children's toys and I'm so happy my baby will have this for a long time because it's clearly made very well.

BUY THIS BAG! I have friends that have this bag and have seen it all over social media for years. I finally decided to see what they're all about and I will never look back. I'm so happy with the quality and the size. When it first arrived I thought it looked a lot smaller than I would have expected but once I started filling it, I was amazed. It fits a lot on its own and the zip top only adds to it. I've already used it as a weekend bag and it held everything I needed. And I can't wait to use it in the airport in a few weeks. Would definitely say the long straps and zip top are the most practical and look just as cute. And when you're not using the zip top it's easy to fold inside and it looks exactly like the traditional open top. Also, I originally picked one saying for my monogram but changed my mind. I quickly called customer service and he was so nice and helpful and changed my order within minutes. Worth the hype, worth the wait. I've already gone back to purchase more lol 1000/10 recommend

Love this bag! Arrived earlier than expected! Great quality

Received my bag about 4-6 weeks after ordering. The text came out perfect and the bag looks great. I ordered the medium with long handles and it's a great size for a carry all bag. I can toss my wallet, keys, small diaper pouch and snacks for my older child with plenty of room. I will be ordering another during the holidays

Great beach bag! Fits many items including towels and beach accessories!

I was looking for a big, sturdy, stuff-hauling tote to carry both my stuff and my almost 4 year old's. And I got exactly that. I learned the bag was the super viral bag of the summer and most colors were backordered but the regular handled green was in stock and that makes the perfect first bag in my collection. And yes, I've already ordered another one.

10/10 I love these bags so much. The material is so thick and durable. Highly recommend the zip top. Even if you don't wanna use it at that time, you can fold it in and you won't even notice it's there. But it keeps your stuff secure and extends the size of your bag. I really feel like all of these bags are deceptively large. They don't look excessive in size but really do hold so much. This bag is perfect for an everyday catch all whether it's just for your day to day things, travel, or for work. Also, 1000% recommend the long straps for more comfort and practicality

We use this xl for the beach and other outings. It holds everything for mom dad and two small kids. Love how it holds its shape. I have some bean bags 30yrs old in perfect condition

She is a vision, a dream. She is my day to day bag to and from work, for errands etc. perfect summer purse

Large fits everything, veryvsturdy, holds shape, love the long handles

Love this bag for the beach, it's huge and not heavy. Feel sturdy and got lots of compliments. Embroidery was well done.

I purchased this bag about 2 months ago and never looked back- it has been such an amazing investment piece and we've used it a ton in just these few weeks. It's great for a long weekend trip, pool/beach bag, carry-on, grocery/market bag...you name it! So versatile and extremely durable and well made. No doubts in my mind this bag will last a lifetime if taken care of. We got the zip top with long handles and that's an elite combo and makes it more functional, at least for us- highly recommend!

The extra large zip top tote is amazing, it's huge and built very solid. Its great for just about anything you need to haul around. It's worth every penny spent and I will be ordering another. A+ product!

The Boat & Tote was purchased to fulfill a specific requirement. It is a perfect size and has the right features to meet our requirements.

The perfect bag for travel, the pool and everyday use!

Absolutely love this tote. The perfect tote for the farmers market we go to on Saturday mornings.

These totes are such good quality and this particular size is perfect for daily use! It's refreshing to buy a product that I don't have to worry about. I know this tote will endure anything I (ahem, and my toddler) can throw at it.

I love this tote! It's a classic purchase. Will use this forever. Have it in various sizes and love them all!

Love these bags. Please bring back the original custom colors so we can create colorful bags again. We loved those.

These totes are the best hands down , sturdy. Nice range of colors . They're roomy, light weight and can carry lots of stuff great for camping and a day at the beach. They would make great gifts for your college student. I have several customized totes open and zippered. I recommend them highly.

I have purchased four of these totes over the years. I finally retired my original toteover thirty years old and unfortunately it was so stained I couldn't get it clean enough to use outside the house. I still use it though, I store out of season hats and scarves in it.

I love the length of the long straps and the durability

My absolute favorite bag! Looks huge but don't be concerned; it fits just the right amount! Perfect for a big beach/lake day, weekend getaway, or for carrying all your gear to activities. A bag everyone should have!

Perfect bag to fit EVERYTHING! My mom has one and I have always been so envious. Was between the long and short handles but got the short and fits perfectly over my shoulder without hanging down too low, perfect to travel from the city with.

Got this tote in the natural color in size medium for work. Great quality canvas and love the option of zipping up the top closed or having it as an open tote. This would probably work well in the large size as a carry on when traveling too.
