Great purchase ! For toss and go - get your zip top ! If you intend on wearing bag over- your - shoulder then long handles. I did spring for embroidery- it was perfect!

I also got the small ,zip top, with long handles to toss my purse in, and both bags fit under the seat in front of me in the plane . Excellent quality and construction .

I got this blue , medium , zip top, with Long Handles for my 14 year old son to use to carry his iPad Pro , and Quest. It arrived in time for our trip to Boston, and he used it for his airport bag. Perfect bag ! Fit his lunch kit, iPad in it's case, assorted odds and ends, water bottle, and journal - with room to spare . It slid perfectly under the seat in front of him on the plane. I did get embroidery , it came out perfect ! First time to use recommended color thread and it matches perfectly !

You can't go wrong with a Boat and Tote ! If you are like me and toss things when you are in a rush - get the zip top. If you intend on wearing it over your shoulder , get the long handles . I use a teeny tiny purse for everyday use and bought this small bag for the airport . I had plenty of room to toss my purse in, car keys and extras like my battery pack , charging cables , ect. It is the perfect size, plus my leather purse is protected when you have to put this under the seat in front of you on the plane.

My favorite gift to customize and give, always a hit, top quality, I've had mine for about 30 years.

Amazing quality! Absolutely worth every penny. And it looks fantastic too!

Really good quality and nice embroidery. The zipper was a little tricky the first time, but works fine now.

I absolutely love my bag! I ordered size large with extra long handles. It's perfect. Great quality!

Wonderful structure and quality. Light blue monogram turned out perfect!

Such a great bag. I use it as a weekender bag for weekend trips and overnights at my bf's. It's so versatile and takes me back to my childhood days. I got my initials on it and it just completes the bag.

Amazing Quality! Absolutely love it! I am considering getting another one in a smaller size to use as an everyday bag!

I have bought several of these over the years for myself and as gifts. These are great, made well and perfect colors.

Outstanding quality, use it to care blankets/gloves for high school football games

Our nanny loved this as a gift! Very durable and looks so nice!

Can't go wrong with this tote, a great gift that the recipient loved.

Inspired by @ironicboatandtote, such a good purchase!

This bag will be used by a school teacher for the workbooks and grading take home papers. The zipper is a perfect add-on to keep things safe and clean.

Awesome bag, just as described. Great sturdy material that seems like it will last forever

I purchased this as a gift for my recently engaged friend. I embroidered the last name she decided to take and she loved this gift. It is very useful and the quality and construction of the bag is great!

An article either in the Boston Globe or New York Times featured boat and tote bags with unconventional monograms. My man friend recently had his 1972 BMW worked on and made road-ready after ten years in the garage. BMW- riders are called Airheards, so I had the idea of getting him a monogrammed tote for the back of his bike. Can't wait to give it to him!

I needed a new one, have used the same one many times over the years, perfect size, the zipper is great, works for everything, even for carrying a dog on the subway!

The medium tote wish long handles is amazing!! I use it for work, for travel, for hauling groceries in NYC and it keeps its shape SO well!

You can never go wrong with these totes. 1,000 and 1 uses. Thanks LLBean for always putting quality first.

Perfect bag for my husband to take his work equipment to work!

I went with the medium zippered tote and long handles this time for traveling. I have several LL Bean totes. They're durable and last a long time. The monogram makes me just love them more!

Strong & functional multipurpose bag. I use it as an overnight travel bag. It just needs a pocket.
