Boat & Tote

Introduced as L.L. Bean's Ice Carrier in 1944, the Boat and Tote was billed as a bag made of builder's canvas for hauling ice "from car to ice chest." Tested to carry up to 500 pounds, today you can spot this iconic tote doing heavy lifting from the grocery store to the beach. Still crafted in Maine one tote at a time.
