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.
  • Reinforced flat canvas bottom.
  • Double-layer base.
  • Handles tested to hold up to 500 pounds.
  • Overlapped seams are double-stitched with nylon so they won't rot or break.
  • Heavy-duty 24 oz. cotton canvas.
  • 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 3 out of 5 by from Font too small, hard to read. I love Boat and Totes. I have 8 of them. I recently bought a small one as a gift and got it monogrammed with script. I was so sad when it arrived. The bag was the same wonderful quality as usual. However, the script was way too tiny for the small bag. I was very disappointed. I returned and I’m awaiting a replacement in a different font. I really hope it’s better. I have no idea what LL Bean is thinking using such a tiny, unreadable font. I still love the company and buy often, but this needs adjusted. Nobody wants a tiny, unreadable font on their bag.
