Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Nor'Easter Tote Bag

This tote is very solid and durable. Like that is it waterproof. Very roomy and holds files and binders well.

I bought this to be a gift. It was very nice and well made. The cream, navy, ochre color was pretty. It was very large and would be too big for a small woman (like me at 5'2"), so I ended up choosing another (the large insulated).

This tote is amazing. Such high quality, lots of room for everything you need for nice day trip. And very comfortable to carry.

It's quite large and is very durable. Nice looking also. I like that is a cross body also.

Great bag, we had it monogrammed and it is beautiful.

Beautiful bag! My daughter is an RN and uses it as her work bag. Was a late Christmas present and she's thrilled and it's just what she wanted.

Ordered this bag for my husband and had it personalized- Boat Stuff. He loves it! Has lots of great dividers + pockets so hopefully he will have an easier time keeping it all in order, and looking nice at the same time : ) I like the waterproof bottom, too.

Beautiful. Strong. Sturdy. Lots of room. Good solid zipper to keep it closed. Very well made. Nice inside pocket for keys and phone and a pocket inside that zips. I could not be happier. Worth every dollar.

This is so nice for my wife and I as we are using plastic shopping bags too often. It holds everything we need to carry. We love the pockets inside. It's well made for how we use the Tote Bag. Thank-you for making a bag that we will use for a very long time. Randy and Sandy Folkerts.

I bought this great quality tote in the gray color. It has a waterproof bottom - inside and out, along with stash pockets (phone, sunglasses and kindle), and a long shoulder strap. This large tote will be great for the beach to hold towels and many accessories.

Sturdy well constructed bag. Very attractive and big

This is a fantastic bag! Not only is it very stylish but the color combination is so attractive! It is very well made, durable, and easy to load and carry! I love the inside pockets that keep small things from going to the bottom of the bag! I can't say enough good things about this bag! I absolutely love it!!!

Excellent quality and attention to every necessary detail. Initially thought it might be too big but ample space was filled quickly Highly recommend.

I bought this bag for my wife and she loves it. It's big, sturdy, and stylish.

Love this bag. The zipper makes it even better than the other bags that I use

Great tote and strap makes carrying it a breeze. Would definitely recommend

I love tote bags. This one will be perfect for traveling as it has pockets inside for separation, which do not interfere with the space allowed. You can shoulder it or carry it. Can't wait to be able to visit my son in NY and use it. Thanks Beans for making this durable tote bag, also a great carry on for plane travel.

This bag is simply amazing for the beach, the boat and every trip in between! The perfect size for my family of 3. Love the pockets inside. Such a must have. I was using a large sized boat & tote before, which was great, but definitely not waterproof on the bottom. A few times things have soaked thru. No zipper top was a problem a few times. Also, having the longer strap to carry over the shoulder helps with a full load. Which is why I knew I needed this bag. I purchased it in gray, with our families last name in a darker gray. Its stunning & so versatile! Just get it, you will NOT be dissapointed.

Used this for a beach trip but it could have so many other uses! Very sturdy and like that you can use the short handle or long strap to carry it. The stash pockets were super handy (these were large enough to fit my kindle in one and phone in the other).

I've been using a medium boat & tote for years to hold all of my teacher's guides, planners, etc for our homeschool. It was getting a little cramped for space, but the large boat & tote was bigger than I wanted. This is the perfect, in-between size! Love that it has a zipper, interior pockets (!!!) and the waterproof bottom so I don't need to worry about my books getting water damage. My medium tote is 17 years old and still looks nearly perfect, so I know this one will last too. Quality is amazing!

Heavy duty well built bag that has so many uses. Just get it, you will use it more than you think!

I'm very happy with this bag! I chose it over the other normal totes for a few reasons - the shoulder strap, the internal zip pockets, and the waterproof coating on the inside/bottom. I love having the should strap, and I love that the bottom is a darker color so it doesn't show dirt. It's clearly very well made and high quality, and very spacious - it fit enough stuff for my family including a toddler for a beach day. It would also fit 3 LL Bean beach towels but not much else. I love having the pockets, but I wish they were a bit longer. As you can see from the pictures, the two front pockets really aren't big enough to hold anything important securely - I mostly kept phones/wallet in the zip pocket and then put powder and sunscreen sticks in the front pockets. Overall, love this bag, and planning to buy more as gifts!!

I bought this to replace an older boat and tote that I wore out carrying it every day. I love the coated bottom the zip top and the little pockets. I am mixed on the shoulder strap so far. I really wish the regular handles were a couple of inches longer. The long strap can be too sloppy when carrying it in tight spaces, if you don't zip the top it turns into a funky shape to carry. I miss my long handles on my old bag. I hope as this bag softens I will find it easier to carry.

Love this bag fits everything! put all my school supplies in along with my lunch.

Love the bag but needs pockets inside & outside. Mine does not have a shoulder strap.
