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

I bought the zippered tote as a Christmas gift for my son and daughter-in-law. They live in Texas and bring their own shopping bags for grocery shopping. They loved the bag and thought it was a great gift. My son used the tote initially for their two-day trip to his in-laws.

I purchased a medium, zippered tote with a name inscription. It was delivered on time and the tote was as advertised. It is heavy and well made. I would recommend this without hesitation.

The L. L. Bean canvas tote bags are a tradition. They are well made, attractive, and useful for many, many purposes. I bought these for my grandchildren as luggage for overnight sleepovers.

I love the zipper aspect of this bag. I have a smaller one that is just open and this one is an added bonus. Great Quality. Love this product!

This tote is so great! Durable, cute, spacious, simple. I travel as a coach and teacher for many single night trips, and this bag is perfect!

This bag will hold up to anything! I got the extra large and boy is it big! I use it for my art/painting supplies. I have several of these bags in different sizes and love all of them.

I purchased this boat tote for my son to use as a catchall for his daily trips to daycare. The size is great for corralling his lunchbox, diapers, hat and coat, and other essentials. The zip top is perfect for keeping other little hands from depositing items into the bag throughout the day. I know he will get a lot of use out of it for many, many years to come. Classic purchase and the quality never disappoints.

First priority - made in USA. I ordered this bag for a gift. It is such a nice bag. And I am very pleased with it. Regular length handles are a perfect length...over the shoulder or by my side.(I'm 5'2") I wish I had gotten it monogrammed with the order. I decided later to have this done locally. -It cost a lot more. So hind sight is 20/20. My advice is get it monogrammed when you order. I do have plans to buy another bag for someone else.....MONOGRAMMED. :)

Our family owns and uses at least 8 of these bags, and we use at least one of them almost every day. We were give 3 graduated size zip-top bags when our 18 year old was born. We used them to cart around all her baby gear and she's still using them to bring her stuff back and forth to college. They've been school book bags, laundry bags, grocery bags, gear haulers, luggage...you name it. I've now stolen the baby gift idea and it is my go-to gift. Maybe not as cute as a little outfit, but a lot more practical - years worth of use. I think my oldest one is 30-40 years old and it's still going strong. Highly highly recommend....and I LOVE the fact that they are still made in the USA in Maine.

I have several tote bags from LLBean. They are indestructible. I've even washed them in the washing machine. They are so strong and can hold so much. Love them.

It's a perfect back for carrying heavy items.

I've got a few of L.L.Bean canvas bags and I'm happy with all of them. This is a great bag and a great price. It is sturdy, well made, the color is better than I thought it would be and from experience, I'm sure will last for years. I've wanted one with a zipper for some time so I'm glad I finally ordered this one. One thing I will recommend is to make sure you know exactly what size bag you want. This is a big bag. It will work perfectly for what I want it for but it is bigger than I thought it would be.

My small zip-top boat and tote arrived today and I could not be happier! I ordered mine with monogramming and also gifted these to my family this year and everyone was thrilled with them. I'm excited to finally own one myself and look forward to maybe purchasing a larger version in the future - thanks LL Bean!

I have this tote in several sizes and I love them all. They're made with very heavy canvas and good quality zippers. I keep two extra large totes in my truck for consolidating all my grocery bags, and I also use these same two on my motorcycle when I go to Tractor Supply because I can fit three 25# bags of kitty litter in each one, stack them, and strap them onto my passenger seat. The uses are endless for these rugged, handsome bags.

I love these totes, they hold up thru the years!!! I have several in various sizes and colors; a couple I've had for over 10 years! I have even washed them and they still look great. I have both the zip top and open top, I use the zip top ones for traveling and also for taking class supplies to/from classes (I take a lot of Quilting/crafting classes and I load these up) also I've recently started using the open top totes for my grocery shopping. The only reason I bought another was because I liked the color...you can never have to many colors!

My mistake in ordering the extra large boat tote. We've had a large one for years, virtually indestructible but canvas gets a little soiled. Ordered a new one as a gift for my husband to go on our new boat we just ordered, but it's really too large and will be too heavy once filled. Have sent it back to exchange for the large size, same as our original one.

The bag came earlier than expected and was perfect

This is a great tote! Very study, and makes a wonderful gift! it can carry a great deal of weight if you're looking for something practical or can make a great bag to keep in your car for trips to the farmers market or other local locations! Wood highly recommend customizing with the monogram option.

The boat & tote bags are of the highest quality. You won't find a sturdier bag. Use them at the boat in the summer & to store things in winter. I own several and have also given them as gifts. Always a hit.

I ordered the small bag with the long handles, zipper, and a monogram (initials). My bag is navy/white and the size, quality, and colors are exactly what I expected from LLBean---the best!!!!! I ordered this particular size to hold books for a class I am taking and it is absolutely perfect. The long handles allow me to carry it over my shoulder, the zip top protects everything from falling out, and the bag is so sturdy I know it will last for many years and many more books. I have other LLBean boat and tote bags for other uses and they are all wonderful, but I think this one is my favorite because it's so cute and the initials monogram looks so pretty.

Well made, heavy material. Very nice quality. A bit larger than I expected. Best of all, made here in the USA!

Tote bag was a gift. Recipient loved the gift!

I purchased the medium Zip-Top for my husbands commute to work. He stuffs it with lunch, water, etc. The zippers prevents disasters. A great investment!

EVERYONE AT THE PARTY LOVED THIS SURPRISE GIFT

This is the second one with long handles and zipper that I purchase as a Christmas gift for my sister. She wore the first one out, meaning till the handle frayed! She had everything one could imagined in there! I ordered the same one except in a different color. She does still use the other one, but it now holds all the dog balls for throwing! I want to say that I bought it about 12 years ago. I also have different sizes of these bags! Love the Bean Bags!!
