This tote is perfect for work, play, and casual outings. I have the large one for work. As a college professor I carry around a heavy load of books and papers. The durability is first-rate. I’ve had my large tote for three years now and it looks brand new. I use the smaller one as a daily purse. I can’t praise the craftsmanship enough.
I bought this boat and tote in the small size in the cedar green color. I intended it to hold my gardening tools but it was too cute to keep in the shed. The cedar green is a pleasant color and the "K" monogram was perfect. I now keep it in the car to contain my 1 year old's car toys that were previously all over the seats.
These are great bags, I had a housewarming gift that needed to be gift wrapped and I had the brilliant idea that an llbean tote would be just the thing to put the gift in. The tote can be used as well as the gift.
