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.
  • Double-layer base.
  • Handles tested to hold up to 500 pounds.
  • Reinforced flat canvas bottom.
  • Overlapped seams are double-stitched with nylon so they won't rot or break.
  • Heavy-duty 24 oz. cotton canvas.
  • 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 Slate tote This classic tote is surprisingly beautiful. It is very well made and has an iconic quality. It exceeded my expectations to meet a practical need. I’m glad I bought it rather than a cheaper version.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Boat & Tote Bag The boat & tote bag is constructed with heavy material & should hold up for years to come. I got mine engraved & that makes it special & I love the red color.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Stiff and thin I must agree with some of the other reviews. Has the material changed? The quality? The bag is thin and stiff. I have one from another company that I have had for years, and it is soft and bendable. My daughter wanted the Bean tote because it was advertised and apparently was the one going viral. I hope she likes it, but I am not pleased with it myself. I bought her the little keychain to give as a gift, because the bag was on backorder and I didn't think it would get here in time for Christmas. The little keychain feels more like what I would expect the big bag to feel like. It is the soft and thick material.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from LOVE IT 💚 I absolutely love my large L.L.Bean Boat and Tote—it’s hands-down one of the most useful bags I own. I use it constantly for work and tutoring, and it holds everything without ever feeling cramped or flimsy. I can fit my laptop, notebooks, folders, a planner, pencil pouch, charger, water bottle, and still have room for extras like snacks or personal items. The canvas is thick and sturdy, so the bag keeps its shape even when it’s packed full, and the straps are comfortable enough to carry from the car to the office or between tutoring sessions. I also love how classic and versatile it is—it looks put-together for work but is tough enough for everyday life. If you’re debating the large size, it’s 100% worth it. This bag truly does it all and makes staying organized so much easier.
