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

Rated 5 out of 5 by from STURDY!! List of things I carried in this bag this morning on my way to work: a full sized crockpot filled with buffalo chicken dip, a birthday banner and two bouquets of flowers. This bag is so sturdy! The straps and the entire bag is built so insanely well. I’ll probably still be using this bag 30 years from now.
