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

Bag was too large so donated to Honolulu Goodwill. Will consider buying another bag but smaller.

I absolutely love my Boat and Tote(s) I love matching a color to each of my family members! They will last forever! 11/10

Quality materials and style, excellent construction and monogramming, perfect.

As what has been received as the perfect gift will be my first comment. This tote delighted my sister and made trips with her puppy much more manageable since it was intended for Oliver all along. The finishing touch was the monogram. I stuffed it with puppy toys and popped it in the mail. I selected the zip tote making sure items weren't stolen by a very nosy Russell terrier. If only Oliver was just wee bit bigger he could "tote" it himself!

Great size and quality I added initials and it came so quick! Can't go wrong with this!

Over the course of 30+ years we have bought many of these bags in various styles and colors. When our boys were little and would have sleepovers with grandparents, each would bring their own big bag (dif colors) with their name monogrammed on them. It held clothes, toys, diapers, blankies and lots of other essentials. Later, we'd lug them to the beach with towels, toys, etc. I just bought a big one for my granddaughter to match her big sister's monogrammed bag and I bought 2 smaller ones with zippers for family members who travel a lot. They make terrific carryon bags. They are attractive, rugged and indestructible. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

My second Christmas to buy these totes for my entire family. Large ones last year. Always a hit!!

My husband has been using these boat totes for years to carry his lunch & other essentials whenever he goes fishing but he's never had one with a zipper. He likes that feature, says that it keeps things from spilling out when he's on his boat.

My brother and I take extended road trips - 2-3 weeks. This bag is perfect for organizing (and protecting) my books and laptop. It's also big enough to stuff my crushable hat and light rain jacket in. The blue handles help me locate it when I need to grab it out of the back seat of his truck.

Bought these for client presents. Can't beat a classic boat tote.

A classic tote that is very well made with durable fabric.

I love the tote but I bought the X-Large for a carryon bag and it's too big. I will definitely use it when I drive places. I had wanted the zipper one and everything is wonderful and well made, just too wide for flying.

Obviously the tote was superior quality, but I WISH I had NOT ordered the zip top in the small...it just seems TOO crowded for the zipper and material surrounding it. ALSO the handles are VERY stiff, as is the whole thing, but I assume it will soften and get a bit more flexible with use. Loved the WIDE choices of colors for handles and initials!

I have ordered many of these tote bags over the years and they are the best. Very sturdy and well made. I use them when flying and storing my yarn for crocheting and other projects.

We love these LL Bean tote bags! Sturdy and a "must have" for any type of travel or storage!

I use this as my personal item when I travel.. it fits everything and it's so sturdy!

Very sturdy! Well made, as usual! Great gift idea!

This is a heavy duty bag! I don't think it will be ripping like my last 3 bags.

Large and sturdy. Love the navy straps. Exactly what I needed.

I love the size and zip top! It's great for travel with an eight year old.

I purchased this tote because the one I purchased 30 years ago finally wore out. The quality of the new tote is exactly the same.

I love this bag. These are Christmas gifts I have my own and have given 4 previously which were loved by the recipients. Heavy weight canvas and hold quite a bit. Like monogram too

We had the large zip too growing up, it was the pool bag and beach bag and my parents still have it and it works perfectly 30 years later! And now I finally have my own! I got the XL so I could carry anything and everything. Right now I use it to take a lot of things to work with me on some days (lunch, purse, coat, laptop, etc). The regular handles on the XL are big enough to fit I've met shoulder but also make it easy to carry the bag in just my hands. I plan on using it for weekend trips too.

Love this bag! Bought one when I had my daughter 21 years ago, still have it and it looks brand new. Now buying one for her daughter, my first grandchild, and expect she will have it for years to come.

I bought these for my bridesmaids' gifts, and they all absolutely love them! I also got myself one with my new last name that I use almost daily. I highly recommend! The natural bags with the natural color monogram is very timeless and beautiful.
