Happy 80th to Our Iconic Tote!
Introduced in 1944 as Bean’s Ice Carrier for hauling ice “from car to ice chest,” our legendary tote has been loved ever since. There’s still nothing that compares to the original—from the heavyweight canvas to the double-stitched seams. Still made in Maine, one tote at a time.
