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.
  • 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.
  • Handles tested to hold up to 500 pounds.
  • 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Colors don’t match photos Beautiful bag but the purple is a lot darker in person than in the photos online.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfectly Sized This bag is perfect for everything I bring in support of my Praise Band electric bass and mandolin. Mics, cables, pedals and more.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Order a size down Whatever size you believe you want, order a size down. So huge for a large unlike the pics. Threads aren’t perfect either so that’s the reason for low stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Holiday tote. I bought this primarily as a beach bag for a Fiji holiday. It was perfect to pack for a day at the beach or by the pool. It was super comfortable to carry whether it was half empty or super full. It also looked great as a tote for shopping. I had quite a few comments and compliments and loved telling the story of the bag. I'm super happy with it. It's such a great purchase and I know I'll be using it for years to come. It's the best combination of classic style, comfort, usability and quality.
