I have a collection of the Large size zip top with long handles that we use for groceries. Holds everything and doesn't tear. Ever. I run them through the washing machine & line dry from time to time.
The small size with long handles and a zip top also makes a cute, durable summer purse.
I just received my custom tote bag the other day and absolutely LOVE it. You can see the quality of the LL Bean product. The material is the heaviest of any of my canvas tote bags. I like the fact that my tote bag was made in the colors I wanted. And I got the bag quicker than expected. What a special treat!! I can't wait to take this bag on trips or when I need a sturdy carry-on! This bag fits the bill for me! LL Bean quality is trustworthy! Thanks!!
these bags are constructed well , I would recommend that you put some padding on the bottom if you have camera equipment like some plastic bubble wrap you can sew over clothe over it.
I took opted to the long handle great on cruise that I had.
I got the medium tote zipper top in cirrus blue. I love the color!! It seems to me to be close to perwinkle or at least in that range. Just a great color and bag.
