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

Use these zippered canvas bags in several sizes for gigging as a musician to contain cables, tape and repair tools, and other miscelaneous items. Great for beach or sailing and car-camping trips.

Heavy duty and well made. Use it all the time.

I bought this bag for two daughters, they both loved it,, its a nice kind of practical gift!

This is an amazing tote bag! I bought the large with the long handles. I definitely recommend getting the long handles. The handles allow the bag to swing easily over the shoulder and the size and construction of the bad are great! I can take it to the beach, grocery shopping, or for short trips. The teal color is just the color I was looking for along with the monogram!

This bag is perfect for everything from pool/beach stuff to library books to groceries. The large is great for a full day outing (towels, snacks, clothes, sunscreen, books). I prefer the zip-top, because it provides a little more privacy when I'm swimming and/or it's not right on my shoulder. I've washed it many times and the dark green color has not faded. I also love the personalization options. I'll be using this bag forever.

I bought this tote as a gift for someone who requested the zip top to keep the gulls out of it at the beach. No complaints about the bag itself. Biggest complaint was that there were no regular handle zip tops on the floor in the store. Being local, I prefer going to Freeport rather than order on line. So - buy the zip top! But don't trust the stock in the store.

exceptional quality. Have many use for all purposes. last forever, can even wash in the laundry

These bags are awesome. They are made extremely well and still look great after lots of use. I feel comfortable carrying the bag by the straps even when it's really heavy. I got my monogramed and it turned out perfectly. I would recommend getting the longer straps if you plan to wear this bag on your shoulder. I have the regular straps and I really wish they were long. Still an awesome bag that you'll have for life!

I love love love your boat and tote bags! I have 8 grand children and I buy a large bag with zipper and have it monogrammed with their name when they are born. Their parents love the bags and use them all the time. Especially when they spend the weekend at grandma's. I also have a small one for my lunch, and a medium one for my books, IPad, and stuff. This year for Christmas I have ordered the older grandchildren the rolling duffel bags for their vacation trips. Love your luggage too.

I have purchased about 10 of these bags over the last few years. Some were gifts and some I use to transport charts. I use the ones with zippered tops for short trips and they work great. LL Bean has always provided the best service and products, these bags are excellent.

I bought my first tote back in the '80's and I still use it. The totes are the most durable, functional items I have ever purchased. I own several sizes now, and am always on the lookout for another one, or another reason to add another one to my collecton. Lucky for me L.L.Bean continues to develop new colors and designs for its longtime customers.

The tote bag is strong and a perfect size. I bought it for my daughter and she loves it.

She hasn't gotten it yet, it's for christmas present

Construction and look of bag is on point. Sad that there are no inner pockets and the main reason for purchasing. My brother-in-law has the same tote- that he bought years ago, with inner pockets.

Excellent quality and a perfect gift idea :) Thank you

She's gorgeous . I purchased the small zip top with long handles to use as a purse, and it's the perfect size. Very nicely made (thank you, Dale!). I know this will last for many years to come. I do wish there were an inside slip pocket or keychain ring/loop, but was aware of this when purchasing.

Only issue is that l wish it had an outside pocket. I also liked it when the totes came in different colors, not just the handles

Great quality tote. However, pockets on the inside would be helpful.

Same wonderful LL bean quality as always. I do wish they would add pockets, both interior and exterior. I'd love to drop my cellphone in a front pocket for ease. I have ordered many if these over the years.

Great product, very sturdy, I really like that it has a zipper closure.

I love the bag; however, the straps keep falling off my shoulders, and the zipper is bulky when zipped up, making the bag look funny.

This is my 3rd tote from LL Bean. I love the quality! Unfortunately, my monogram was incorrect.

Love the bag but the monogram came messed up twice. Returned the first and decided to just keep the second as the wait times just kept getting longer. The strange part was the monogram was messed up in the exact same way on the letter "r"on both bags. The large is a perfect pool bag and the zip is perfect for making sure nothing falls out. Just wish I got a nicer monogram.

First time trying a long handled tote. It works great as beach tote and holds my work laptop & folders as needed. Took advantage of the free monogramming to add my name to it. I would recommend this bag as a great midsized tote!

Holds everything! I purchased this to consolidate all the tote bags I usually carry, and it's been a great solution. My only recommendation would be to make the straps just a bit longer to be able to more easily carry it over the shoulder when it's full and heavy. It's current design is more of a handle.
