L.L. Bean Boat and Tote

From the Beach to the Subway and to the office, this is my favorite bag.

I already love the New England aesthetic and as a functional, frugal minimalist, I like a bag that can used at any time!

This bag will outlive me and I’m so in love with the brand.

If you’re looking to get started, I’d recommend getting the Medium size with a zipper and Long Handles for optimal use

Co-sign on this sturdy and minimally stylish bag!

Minor tip: If you spray it with Scotchgard, it'll be stiff for a little while but eventually soften up and be a little water resistant.

“I’m also simplifying my life by realizing no one in the house adheres to the concept of a hamper so I just scoop up everyone’s laundry in an xl boat n tote and let them put it away!”

“We received this as a gift last year and it’s been great to have when we need a large durable bag for a trip or running errands. It’s not full water proof but pretty water resistant, which I found out by accident when I spilled my water bottle and the bag was totally fine!”
