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

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect size I bought this about a month ago and I’m so glad I did! I was debating between the large and medium for my every day diaper bag and at first thought the large was too big when I got it but after using it and it being full all the time it’s the perfect size! It doesn’t hurt my arm to carry and fits under my stroller perfectly!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from No pockets ☹️ Well constructed bag but very disappointed that there are no pockets inside the bag. I have another nearly identical zip top canvas bag from another company that has 1 pocket on outside and multiple pockets inside, much more useful and functional.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Boat and Tote Purchase I am excited to replace my current travel tote with this product. I love the structure of this tote and the optional zipper top closer. I went with the long straps so when filled I will be able to carry it more comfortably. I am an over packer! (at time of this review I have not used it yet, but I think it is going to work out great)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exactly as pictured Color and embroidery design came exactly as pictured. Not a bad thing, but the large is significantly bigger than the medium. Almost wish there was an In between but love both regardless. Thank you!!!
