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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kbous16 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 Jess1414 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 Carla 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 Kathryn 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Beautiful, everyday bag! This was a gift purchased for a professional, and very polished, young lady. She is using it as an everyday work bag and could not be happier with the craftsmanship, structure, functionality and appearance. She loves the longer straps, the zip top, the green color and her custom embroidered initial. Thank you, LL Bean!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Reanna from Buy the tote!! Highly recommend the medium zip top tote w/ long handles. Read tons of reviews & watched videos showing the sizes and I am so glad I went with this size j handle length. It is the perfect everyday tote! Fits my 14” MacBook Pro perfectly with its fitted padded sleeve. I will note - if you had a laptop sleeve that is slightly oversized for the 14” MBP, it may not fit. The one I have is custom to the specific dimensions and made in USA as well by a company called Tom Bihn. The tote fits everything I need on a daily basis, and the zippered portion allows you to pull it up and then gives more room if needed. Love that it tucks into the bag when not being zipped. The long handles also you to easily pull the zippered portion up as well while still being able to easily throw the tote over your shoulder. The tote can hold a ton of weight as well. I use it as a catch all when running out the door to the car or when going upstairs to bed & throw in two 32oz mason jars full of water + my 40oz Owalla bottle + all of my usual everyday stuff including my MacBook Pro. I did get it monogrammed with my first name in the thick cursive font & it turned out perfect, highly recommend adding that customization. The bag also stands up on its own very well. Only regret is not buying one of these totes sooner!
