Everything I have ever ordered from LL Bean has been super good quality. This bag is no exception. I actually already have this exact same bag and it's probably 6 years old and still looks brand new, but I wanted a new one with my new married monogram. These bags last forever. The monogramming looks very nice and the bag is very well made. The color is true to what you see on the screen. Very pleased!
I have wanted a Boat and Tote bag since I was 14 years old. I'm now 43. This Christmas I decided that I would treat myself and I am SO happy that I did. I bought the medium open top bag with short handles. It's more sturdy that I expected and I was surprised to see that the bags stands on its own. I had the bag customized with our last name and it looks really sharp! I use it every day at work. I have a lot of papers and files to carry from office to office and the all fit perfectly. Everyone is always saying how nice the bag is. I use my bag on the weekend too for my trip to the market. I will be buying these for gifts for sure and I know that this will not be my only Boat and Tote - up next, size large with a zipper! *And the customer service was outstanding! Thanks so much!
Love my new bag!! It seems very sturdy and the color is just beautiful!! If I had known it would be so large, (I did, indeed order the large,) I would have gotten the medium size. I'm sure I'll find many uses for it regardless!
I have purchased many of these over the years, both for our family and to give as gifts. Quality has consistently been outstanding. I have carried many heavy and bulky loads without any difficulty. They are attractive and durable. I anticipate that they will last for many years to come.
