I got a china blue medium w/elderberry handles and bottom and zip top. The china blue is darker in person so looks kind of like a dark lilac almost.. but still very beautiful with the purplish elderberry as accent colors. I have bought several LL Bean bags but didn't have a short handled one w/a zip top. I am obsessed with these bags and wish I could have all the sizes in all the colors. I have all the sizes now, and with different length handles. If you are wanting to carry the bag over your shoulder, you should definitly get the long handled one. They are all perfect in my opinion!
You can traipse all over creation, but you will never find a sturdier, better built tote than the LL Bean tote. These are the only suitcases that my husband and I have. Our totes have traveled on planes, trains, and cars. We can stuff them full, without the worry of having a broken zipper. If you are looking for a bag to carry anything in, look no further! The only challenge you will have with this tote is deciding which color to order!
I purchased 3 of the medium size bags for gifts, and am very happy with them. I had them monogrammed with each child's name and they are just perfect! The quality is excellent, the size is just right and I'm sure the children will love them. Thank you, LL Bean, for another excellent product. (Perfect for adults, too)
