Built-to-last utility and heritage style in the Boat and Tote Small
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This tote is a classic for a reason. I’ve used it for everything—groceries, trail snacks, car organization, even as a camp kitchen carry. The canvas is so thick it feels indestructible, and the double-stitched seams mean I never worry about overloading it."
Sometimes simple is best—and few pieces of gear prove that more than the L.L. Bean Boat and Tote Small. Still handcrafted in Maine, this iconic tote is built with heavyweight 24oz cotton canvas that holds up to decades of hauling. Whether we’re loading up for a road trip, bringing firewood to camp, or toting market finds, this bag handles it all without breaking a sweat.
Reinforced handles, double-layer base, and overbuilt stitching mean this tote is made to work as hard as we do. It’s not just a bag—it’s a piece of timeless utility that earns its spot in our kit, season after season.

Great Everyday Purse
This tote size is my new favorite. Easy to get things in and out of and the long handle makes it comfortable to carry. The bag looks great on. You will want it in multiple colorways, its an addiction.
