Rated 5 out of 5 by jazmine Custom Large Tote
I ordered as a gift for my son. The bag was much more durable than I expected. Wonderful craftsmanship. The personlization looked great and he will enjoy it for boating and RVing with the family. Large enough to pack the whole days necessary items. Fantastic gift item for the upcoming holidays.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MeowMedic Small boat tote bag
I love the quality of this tote and the size in small, since I plan to use it as a summer handbag. HOWEVER........someone really needs to take this one back to the drawing board on design. Why on earth would you put the colored handle on the top and natural color canvas on the under side that will be in constant contact with body oils, skin lotions, and or any other substance that we may touch during the day???????? I thought about this before ordering, and will treat it with scotch guard, but will probably put fabric paint on the under side handle, to keep it from looking so disgusting. Great bag for the price hands down, but please think this one through if you're a busy mom.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CapeCodMomof4 Amazing!
I have owned many Bean Boat & Tote bags through the years, and they last forever. The quality is outstanding, and that's no surprise. However, the thing that continues to amaze me about L.L. Bean is their service. I ordered my latest bag on Tuesday evening, and it arrived (beautifully monogrammed) on Friday morning. I just loaded it up with the kids' beach gear, and we're off to the beach! Amazing service. Thank you, L.L. Bean!

The only real boat & tote bag. I inherited some from my parents that are at least 40 years old and have at least 15 "new" ones. I hope some of the great colors come back - Wild Berry, Glen Green, etc. - but I buy at least one a year for myself and give as gifts for friends. I use the small as a handbag and the older ones for storage - so much better looking than those plastic tubs . . .

Rated 4 out of 5 by VLMAY Salmon Thread Color: Beware
I ordered the bag in Ember and got it monogrammed. The monogram thread color (Salmon) is MUCH too light for the bag and looks strange with the Ember color. It really does not look good. The bag itself and the Ember color are wonderful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Judyxteach Great gift idea
I have given at least 10 large totes personalized as baby gifts....everyone loves them! the quality is top notch and the tote is so practical. It holds so many items and is great for sleepovers.
For Christmas I bought 7 small totes for friends...great to carry to the pool or even to hold coupons.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bpuck Love the zipper!
This bag is an excellent deal. The extra large with the zipper is perfect for hauling swim gear for a family of five. The only thing that prevents me from giving this five stars is that it needs a pocket somewhere. An exterior pocket similar to the one available on the custom tote and an inside zipper pocket to hold cell phone, keys, wallet, etc. would make this perfect! How about it, LLBean? Think you could make this improvement? :)

I received the small boat and tote today. The colour is great, and it has such a sturdy design. I'm pleasantly surprised that it has arrived already since I only ordered it 3 days ago and it was monogrammed, too. Wow! It's beautiful and I love it!

I was given my first Boat and Tote Bag this past Christmas and found it so lovely that I bought another one for myself. The lifetime warranty and the top notch customer service have me so happy with my purchases that I will buy more!
A couple of things before you buy these totes:
The long handles will go over your shoulder, the short handles will not.
The large bag is more of a beach bag or an overnight bag, where as the medium bag is more suitable for hauling books to school and back.
The colors always are a little bit more vibrant than they appear on the computer screen.
