I was given my first Boat and Tote Bag this past Christmas and found it so lovely that I bought another one for myself. The lifetime warranty and the top notch customer service have me so happy with my purchases that I will buy more! A couple of things before you buy these totes: The long handles will go over your shoulder, the short handles will not. The large bag is more of a beach bag or an overnight bag, where as the medium bag is more suitable for hauling books to school and back. The colors always are a little bit more vibrant than they appear on the computer screen.
I chose the blue body with dark green handles and bottom, no zip or front pocket, with long handles. I had to switch my color choices since I had done one up and left it in my shopping cart for too long and lo and behold, they didn't have the body color anymore. The customer service rep called me and was very courteous and helped me choose a whole new set-up and informed me of all the color choices of the thread used for the monogramming. I went with the nickel color for the initial and it is SO pretty! Great color combo, I am so pleased with the purchase, I am going to buy all the girls one for Christmas this year! I am most excited about the fact that it is made right here in the USA, please LLBean, don't EVER change that! Wonderful quality, highly durable bag.
I ordered a personalized bag for each of my bridesmaids and they absolutely LOVED them! Of course I had to order one for myself as to not be left out :) These are very durable, very nice looking bags that hold tons of stuff and wash easily! You can't go wrong!
