Introduced as Bean's Ice Carrier way back in 1944, the Boat and Tote was billed as a bag made of builders' canvas for hauling ice "from car to ice chest." Today you can spot our iconic tote doing heavy lifting everywhere - from the grocery store to the beach, to the library and commuter train. Tested to hold up to 500 pounds, it'll carry more than you can carry. We promise.

  • Spot clean.
  • Overlapped seams are double-stitched with nylon so they won't rot or break.
  • Reinforced flat canvas bottom.
  • Handles tested to hold up to 500 pounds.
  • Heavy-duty 24 oz. cotton canvas.
  • Double-layer base.
  • Add a monogram for a personal touch (or the perfect gift).
  • Handcrafted in Maine since 1944, one tote at a time.
  • Natural color, with contrast-tone handles in your choice of lengths.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Boat Tote not what it used to be While the tote is still great quality versus competitors, it is much lower quality than what they used to be. Economic pressure finally hit LL bean

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The perfect mom bag The PERFECT mom bag! I LOVE this bag, I’ve had it for a little over a month and it’s amazing. It’s everything I was looking for for a mom bag. Fits: the snacks, diapers, wallet, glasses, keys, water bottles etc perfectly. And I don’t have to lift everything to see what’s in the bag. Would 100% repurchase. Already trying to justify buying another one. Hehehe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Go-to Bag This tote bag has quickly become my everyday go-to bag. It’s super handy, comfortable to carry, and the design is so pretty it matches almost everything. I love how spacious it is without feeling bulky — it fits all my daily essentials perfectly. The straps are comfortable on the shoulders, even when the bag is full, and the quality feels durable and well-made. Whether I’m running errands, going to work, or heading out casually, this bag is always the perfect choice. Definitely a stylish and practical must-have!
