Is the L.L. Bean Boat and Tote Worth It?

If you’ve been watching Reels & TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen this viral tote pop up quite a few times! I’m a sucker for anything I can personalize and to be honest, the price point on these bags is too good not to at least give it a shot. L.L. Bean allows you to personalize up to 10 characters in embroidery on your bag and comes with multiple customization options! Each tote comes in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. Each tote can be ordered with long or short straps, as well as with or without a zipper closure. Color options are also available for the straps.

I ordered the size Large tote, with Long, Dark Green straps, and personalized embroidery. My bag retailed for $50 when all was said and done, and then my standard shipping was $6. If you subscribe to their email list, you can snag a 10% off discount code too, which will take $5 off (it’s almost like free shipping!). When my bag arrived, it came with a $10 off your next order of $10 or more coupon, which will come in handy when you want to order another one! Because trust me, you will.

For the price and personalization, you simply cannot beat the price tag on this tote. The quality is impeccable, and the size is very generous! My size large bag, pictured above, is the perfect size carry-on for travel, as it has plenty of room for my laptop, makeup bag, plane snacks, a sweater, etc,! You name it, it will fit! I did get the zippered top, as I prefer it for safety reasons when I travel, however, I am considering ordering an Extra Large size with no zipper to use as a shopping tote!
