Just received my new open-top bag. The large IS large - even larger than I expected. However, I am a high school teacher and have a lot to carry. This bag will hold it all and more, and is sturdy enough to stand up on its own! The long handles are great - I can throw the bag on my shoulder. I can see that I will have many years of service from this bag. My only concern is that it holds so much that I will have to be careful not to overfill it and make it too heavy! :)
ProsDurable, Great Value, very sturdy, excellent gift
I gave this Large bag to my sister for her birthday. She's a nanny and has packed everything but the kitchen sink in this bag. It's packed with toys, books, shoes, full large food containers, it goes to school, the park, the back of her car - and it still looks good and it as sturdy as ever. The monogram was the best thing - she can spot this bag and know it's her bag - and the kids know too. She used to put things in flimsy bags and paper sacks - this bag stopped that and made her life a easier.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Performing as Expected, great gift
Just wanted to say that I haven't experienced such great customer service in years! I ordered the extra large boat and tote for my mom and it's really, really big -- bigger than my mom! LL Bean sent me the large one instead with no questions asked. The company is so warm and wonderful and the tote bags are so perfect as a gift for mom and all the gals in your life. Thank you LL Bean for making such a quality product.
I bought 6 totes for my bridesmaids & had their names monogramed on each. They arrived to the house when they were supposed to & look GREAT! Material is thick & durable. Great buy! Plus - FREE SHIPPING!
