TRUE QUALITY TAKES TIME

Our totes take a little longer to make because they’re handcrafted, one tote at a time, by a small team of expert stitchers in Maine. We’re working hard to get them out the door to you!

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

Behind the Design: Boat and Tote

Known for its legendary longevity, our iconic tote has been setting the standard for over 80 years. Watch below to learn more about its legacy.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Font too small, hard to read. I love Boat and Totes. I have 8 of them. I recently bought a small one as a gift and got it monogrammed with script. I was so sad when it arrived. The bag was the same wonderful quality as usual. However, the script was way too tiny for the small bag. I was very disappointed. I returned and I’m awaiting a replacement in a different font. I really hope it’s better. I have no idea what LL Bean is thinking using such a tiny, unreadable font. I still love the company and buy often, but this needs adjusted. Nobody wants a tiny, unreadable font on their bag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great to carry all sorts of things. I bought this bag because I was needing a heavy duty bag to carry my hair cutting supplies to clients on occasion and this is perfect. So high quality from the fabric to the stitching. Very glad I purchased this. I will be back for other bags in the future. Highly recommend.
