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. Available in four different sizes with a secure zip top, it also makes a fantastic travel bag.

  • Spot clean.
  • 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.
  • Heavy-duty 24 oz. cotton canvas.
  • Reinforced flat canvas bottom.
  • Natural color with contrast-tone handles in your choice of lengths.
  • Handcrafted in Maine since 1944, one tote at a time.
  • Add a monogram for a personal touch (or the perfect gift).

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The Infamous Tote The infamous tote! My only complaint is the embroidery is so small - especially in comparison to competitors. The bag itself is very structured and I look forward to using it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gorgeous & High Quality! Bought this bag for weekend trips and it’s the perfect size! Super sturdy and high quality. Holds a lot and the zip top gives you even more space. I also got mine embroidered and it’s came out perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best plane personal item/beach bag I bought the large, zip top, long handled Boat and Tote before going on a beach vacation. I used this bag as my personal item on the airplane (10/10 recommend for packing with kids) and then as my beach tote when we got to our destination. I absolutely love this bag and the structure it has. You can just tell this is a quality bag that will last forever!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from I bought the medium size with the long handle and zipper. I loveeee the way it look, the material and the engraving, bot one side of the bottom of the bag was poorly stitched, with loose threads hanging, and I had to fix it myself

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I love it. Have had a large one for years and also have a medium. The only thing that would make it better is it needs a few pockets.
