I just received my extra large Boat and Tote bag in the mail. I wanted a large tote bag, large enough to fit everything we (2 parents, a 4 yr old and a 5 month old) needed for a trip to the swimming pool in one bag. This bag is more than big enough! Actually, I probably could have gone with just the Large size. Seriously, I can fit my 4 yr old in it! It's a quality bag...very well made! I'm very happy with my purchase!
Simply stated these are the best tote bags I have owned. I have purchased similar products from other stores but none can compare to Bean's; you can beat these things up and they will not disappoint. I love them so much I have purchased three in the last month for gifts, I am even planning on ordering them for my bridesmaids and filling them with goodies!
I have purchased a number of these bags for myself over the last 25 years. I still have them all. I also give them for baby gifts, wedding gifts and birthday gifts.
They are great for travel, hauling, storing, shopping and going to the beach. At the beach, I empty the bag and lay it on its side for my dog to sleep in out of the sun.
I received the extra large and large bag a few years ago for school. This bag has been through some tough stuff in design school but looks just as great as the day I got them! They are amazing and have always kept their shape! I LOVE giving these bags as gifts too! Also, the colors last and stay vibrant!
