Product Details

Introduced in 1944 as "Bean's Ice Carrier," the beloved Boat and Tote is still crafted in Maine, one tote at a time. This special crossbody edition celebrates its classic style, legendary durability and the adventures to come.

  • Weight:: 1.2 lbs.

We created this Boat and Tote crossbody bag in celebration of our iconic tote--a new twist on an old favorite. Made in Maine using the same heavyweight canvas as the original, with the same extra-durable construction details and a handy removable shoulder strap. Make it your own by adding a custom monogram; we can embroider a name, initials or a favorite phrase in a wide selection of colors.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Practical small tote A sweet little tote, I can pack my lunch into it and wear it with the cross-body strap as I ride my bike in to work. It fits my food and Klean Kanteen bottle nicely, with a bit of space left over. (It is also quite sturdy.) I do wish there were more solid colors to select from, and I wish there was an exterior patch pocket between the front straps. Still, it's nice, and I am keeping it. I've wanted a small, zipper top tote I could use with my bike for a long time. I am happy to finally have one.

I love the long shoulder strap. I have been using it as my everyday purse. I love the little pocket on the inside.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from 1944 Boat Tote The zipper is very difficult to zip. Not the kind of frustration I want.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Timeless Boat & Tote Absolutely love it. This is my first boat and tote and I could not be happier. I love the zip closure on this as well as the inside small zip pocket. I use it for my daily bag/purse. Simple and classic. High quality.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from No outside pocket Well made product. But thought by looking at picture there was an outside deep pocket. That's essential for me. But probably my fault for not reading its written description well enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Medium zip, long handled boat and tote The medium zip top, long handled Boat and Tote any color is one of the best products LL Bean produces and sells. This tote is excellent for travel. It fits under an airline seat, long handled makes it easy to carry, fits so much and you can customize it! Customize by either putting your name or a phrase on it. Just love mine!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Went from Coach purse to the Boat and Tote! I was ready for a change from my coach purse that I have used for properly 10 years because I’m a die hard, but then I found my Boat and tote it was the right sizes and rugged I also bought the boat and tote zip pouch for inside stuff and it works great! I have no regrets changing over and it looks as classy as the Coach Purse!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great crossbody bag The bag is large enough to organize contents well but not so large it is inconvenient to wear. I think the depth really helps to make the bag functional.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Concealed Carry This purse/tote works perfectly for concealed carrying a licensed, permitted weapon. Nobody is the wiser while I blend in with the crowd. The inner pocket is sized to hold more than just licenses/plastic cards and the accessibility is efficient.
