Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Leather Handle Essential Tote Bag

This bag would be perfect if it contained one or more additional interior compartments. It's a practical size, big enough to easily hold a book, a tablet, snacks, and the usual contents of a purse. When empty, it folds easily, allowing it to be stowed into a larger tote bag or luggage, to provide more capacity if/as needed.

Lightweight and great for shopping. It works well for holding personal items and can easily accommodate a few purchases.. without needing another bag. Roomy and slides over the shoulder. Love the rust color.

I saw this at one of the outlets and didnt purchase it. I regreted this afterwards. I found it later at another outlet and made sure to get one. Nice size, great mustard color. I use it daily and have received compliments on it. Not stiff like the regular totes and has a nice zip pocket inside.

This bag is PERFECT The handles have not shed AT ALL. The color (Gingerbread) is stunnin. The handles march well with the gingerbread The size is generous. The bag is well-constructed, and the zippered pouch holds my cell phone and valuables perfectly. I AM confused by ALL those NEGATIVE REVIEWS however. Curious what happened to them versus me. It would have been nice to have a zippered closure for the bag according to my brother. Oh. I love the monogramm. Looks like a college letter.

Pretty tote, thanks for offering it. It's a great bag for everyday use.

This tote bag is perfect for holding everything I need.

All I expected it to be. My wife, the giftee, uses it all the time.

Perfect bag. I carry a lot of stuff so having a light bag that is strong is important to me. This fit the bill and stylish too.

This Tote bag has an upper inside pocket with a zipper to hold my keys, pens, etc., which is why I bought it. Otherwise the keys, etc., sit on the bottom of the bag and are hard to reach. So this is an excellent improvement, and a very good Tote bag, BRT

Love this bag as a casual purse. Great for carrying folders as weak as the usual bag items. Had my initial monogrammed black on black and makes it mine.

Make no mistake: I am a boat-and-tote girlie through and through, but the essential leather-handle tote is a close second. It's lightweight, durable, and the perfect tote for all of my work needs -- laptop and other daily essentials.

Good quality product. Would like one more pocket in it, but is working for me just fine.

This is a great bag to have for travel, etc. I would recommend this bag

Every time I use this bag someone admires it. The khaki color is lovely and I love the zippered pouch within.

Really cute bag with block initial monogram. Very happy with look, quality and size.

Canvass tote is so cute, fits a lot! I even use it as my purse at times!

Lightweight and holds so much!! I'm using this tote as an everyday bag.

I AM NOT SURE WHY ANYONE WOULD NOT LOVE THIS BAG. I LOVE THE CONTRAST IN THE BLACK AND BROWN. WELL DONE

Just what I was looking for, a bag that will last. I needed this for a throw everything into for the day except my handbag items. Perfect!

I gave it as a gift. It was well received and they are getting a lot of use out of it.

Love my new purse. The only problem is it's so deep, I have trouble finding my keys. But it holds my daily necessities with room for my lunch, as well! Otherwise, the handles are just the right length and the blue color is lovely. Maybe I'll get the buffalo plaid for winter.

Such an attractive , sturdy and classy bag ! A must have!

This bag is just what i was looking for, not too big and not to small I love that it is canvas, and very well made, one generous sized zippered pocket on the inside. Wish there was 2 pockets

i look for canvas bags because they are not as heavy. better for back issues. this bag is nice. interior pocket is good size. leather straps are good quality.

Great totelight and just what I need for the Fall. Only thing I'd add is one more pocket on inside, beside the one zipperedbut I still think it's a 5 star.
