I own several LL Bean totes including the boat and tote. This tote is so sturdy. It has gone in and out of my locker at the gym for at least 2 years now and hasn't even begun to show any wear.
I bought this bag to use everyday for work, shopping etc. It is so sturdy and looks great with my initials monogrammed on it. I can fit everything I need inside, and it stands up easily when I rest it on the ground.
I bought a Boat and Toat 20 years ago and used it every day. It is still in good shape but I decided I need a new one. I love the new one as much as I did my original. I take it to work every day. The fabric is so sturdy and it holds it's shape which makes it easy to load and unload. I would be lost without it. I have even given them as gifts and they love them too.
This tote bag is an excellent value for the price. If you own a boat, you need one of these totes! You'll fit right in with the boating crowd. Everyone has one.
