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

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 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!

I have owned several sizes & colors of these bags over the years; they were used to haul teaching materials among the schools I taught in. They perform exceptionally well, are so sturdy—-love owning & using them.
