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.
  • Handles tested to hold up to 500 pounds.
  • Reinforced flat canvas bottom.
  • Double-layer base.
  • Heavy-duty 24 oz. cotton canvas.
  • 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 5 out of 5 by from Best wedding gift ever We were given two of these as a wedding gift in 1989, and have used them every week for grocery shopping since then. People in check-out lines often admire them and comment on how big and sturdy they are and how many groceries fit in them. It was only last month that they needed to be replaced and I'm pleased to see that the new ones are every bit as tough and well made as the old ones. If they last as long as the first two, they will most likely outlast me!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice gift Straps are a little stiff, but the bag works well as a tote for garden tool/seeds that we needed. Purchased as a gift, and my Mom loves it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Practical, useful, versatile I bought this for my daughter-in-law for our family beach trip. She loved it. It was so practical and useful - and the monogram was a beautiful personal touch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth it! I am so happy with my bag!!! It is beautiful. It hold so much stuff. It’s perfect for the beach/lake. I will say the straps hurt a bit on your shoulders if you’re carrying a lot of stuff but I feel like once it’s good and broken in they will soften up. Other than that I am so pleased with my purchase!
