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

Love the bags, there long lasting sturdy. I know I have 3 of them that I have had for 20 plus years.

I already have one of these bags and liked it so much that I ordered one for a friend as a gift. She loves it. I use mine for travel -- it's waterproof and strong and it holds a lot of items. Handles are a nice length -- I can carry in hand or over my shoulder. These last forever -- you will wear out before the tote will.

I absolutely love my new tote bag!! It is perfect for my needs as a busy high school teacher and adjunct professor. It holds *everything* I need for a full day of education: laptop, mouse, and cords; supply case with pens, pencils, and a stapler; envelope folders for each class; two clipboards; and my lunch box and purse! (And the latest novel I'm reading, in hopes of some downtime.) Carrying everything in one bag makes me look less like a bag lady and more like a professional! And, I have no worries about the load. The reinforced stitching makes me confident that this will last. Thank you for such a quality product!

Attractive, quality...good value

THE GREATEST BAG EVER!!!!!! I have no words as this bag is oddly the perfect size for just about every event that comes up (I got medium size with long handles) Must. Buy. More.

I'm a librarian, so I tote a lot of heavy books back and forth from home to work. Other bags give out quickly to the wear and tear. This bag I can happily fill right up with no worries. I got it with the long handles and I really love them. I can carry it on my shoulder even if it is full.

Long handles and zip top make it a perfect tote!

I have been giving these bags monogrammed with names as baby gifts for 25 years. My grown grandkids still use theirs. Love them!!Loyal

I love LLBean bags! I have bought this design for each of my grandchildren with their name stitched on it. The bags stand up to travel, hold a weeks worth of clothes for the children and is nice looking, too!

This bag is the perfect size for a weekend away. It holds bulky winter clothes easily without wrinkling. You can even take your favorite pillow with you for your trip (you will not be able to close the top, but it it is still easy to carry). Very sturdy and stylish. The only thing I would change about this product would be to put a pocket either on the inside or outside.

Great sizes- perfect for winter activities. I like the different strap lengths. Easy to clean interior.

I ordered the x-large tote especially for packing for weekend stayovers with my grandkids. I had the bag embroidered with Grammy and my grandkids love it too. It's a great size for all my things and for the treats I bring to spoil the wee ones! I have several totes from LL Bean and I love them all!

Flat-out indestructible bag and just the right size.

The tote is simple, reliable and lovely. From my perspective, a small size suits to girls best, and middle size can really contain a lot. In addition to the good quality of the tote, the customer service of L.L.BEAN is also excellent. Patient and efficient, the customer service staff helps me exchange a tote even though it has a monogram. And I receive my tote before the estimated time. It 's worth for L.L.BEAN to get five stars. This tote is a gift for my friend who 's in high school. Hopefully she will like this.

I have the Medium, two Large, and an extra large, all monogrammed with my initials. These totes are durable, functional, sturdy, yet classy. I have purchased several as gifts and everyone adores them. I use them daily. I keep some of them already stocked with "must needs" for any trip or outing. Thank you LL Bean for making such a TERRIFIC TOTE!!!

This is a replacment for a bag that lasted 15-20 years. Better than I remember. Thanks L.L.Bean

I bought this as I was always carrying in multiple bags to work including laptop, purse and lunch. I got the large and there is so much room! I have a massive lunch bag, laptop, purse, water bottle, jacket and there is still more room. The black and white look classy and I love the monogram. I also love that it stands up on its own and doesn't flop over when empty. It makes the area around my desk look so much cleaner. I couldn't be happier and I expect to use this for many years to come!

This was this years Christmas gift to my family and friends. Monogrammed for that extra special touch.

Love my new bag

This bag is study, zipper keeps everything inside if the bag is tipped over, long handles make life so much easier, and there is a 1000 uses. I'll be getting a bag for all of my daughters

This is my third tote. I use it several times a week and it is perfect for carrying heavy items and staying organized. I like the zipper for two reasons. One, it provides privacy and second, if carrying smaller items nothing will fall out. It is well worth the price. I wore out the first one which lasted over ten years, and the second got really dirty (my fault) and I tried to hand wash it, but used too harsh of soap and the blue faded out. I will always have the LL Bean tote in my closet ready to go.

This is an excellent tote that I will be making use of.Very well made like all LL Bean products.Good size for me to carry all sorts of things. Loved the color.

We often give this bag, personalized, as a new baby gift. It has many uses as a carry all when going out with the baby, a toy collector in the home, & a perfect holder for children's books. Everyone to whom we have given it, loves this Bean bag.

Have not used L/E for a considerable amount of time, but found my recent purchase with exceptional quality as in the past. Your service rep answered all my questions and helped me place the order with great knowledge about the product. I truly appreciate that L/E has not compromised its service or quality. I will first go to L/E for quality clothing and outdoor gear when necessary. My wife thought the traveling toth was great.

I bought this to replace one that I bought at least 15 years ago and the product is still just as well made. In fact I also have one in a different color. The only things I wish you would add to it are a key fob and a pocket or two, especially one which would hold a water bottle.
