L.L. Bean Boat and Tote |
“Knockoffs of our picks proliferate...if you were to compare any of them with the real L.L.Bean Boat and Tote, it would be no contest.”
— New York Times Wirecutter
I have posted several times about my collection of L.L. Bean Boat and Totes - some of them I have had for decades. It is actually quite chic and a "badge of honor" to have vintage ones that show their age.
You probably know that it has always been popular to monogram them with your initials or name. Nowadays it is quite chic to use a word or short phrase. I have one with tongue in chic "Old Money" embroidered and another with "Noble Rot" embroidered - an extra large one I use to tote my wine tasting paraphernalia. A popular word to have embroidered right now is "Anxious." I leave a tote in my car for Aldi, farmer's markets, dry cleaning, errands, and such.
A head's up that they have really expanded their sizes and colors. Some new favorites -
I love the mini Boat and Tote. It makes a great handbag and is a great gift. It is always on back order it is so popular! Available in 4 colors.
