Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Leather Handle Essential Tote Bag

This bag would be perfect if it contained one or more additional interior compartments. It's a practical size, big enough to easily hold a book, a tablet, snacks, and the usual contents of a purse. When empty, it folds easily, allowing it to be stowed into a larger tote bag or luggage, to provide more capacity if/as needed.

I gave it as a gift. It was well received and they are getting a lot of use out of it.

Love my new purse. The only problem is it's so deep, I have trouble finding my keys. But it holds my daily necessities with room for my lunch, as well! Otherwise, the handles are just the right length and the blue color is lovely. Maybe I'll get the buffalo plaid for winter.

Such an attractive , sturdy and classy bag ! A must have!

This bag is just what i was looking for, not too big and not to small I love that it is canvas, and very well made, one generous sized zippered pocket on the inside. Wish there was 2 pockets

i look for canvas bags because they are not as heavy. better for back issues. this bag is nice. interior pocket is good size. leather straps are good quality.

Great totelight and just what I need for the Fall. Only thing I'd add is one more pocket on inside, beside the one zipperedbut I still think it's a 5 star.

I love this bag. I'm a teacher, and I started using this bag as my work bag. I love it!

I am using this bag mainly as a purse, rather than a tote. Both straps stay on my shoulder, which is a major plus! While I might not be able to find small items in it easily (it is large), it's a small issue. It's very well made.

Loose threads that have caused the handle threads to come undone, poor quality control.

I bought this tote based on one I bought from LLBean many years ago which was well made and has performed well for many years. This bag, however, is flimsy and poorly made. Unlined, small pocket and "leather" handles are very thin. Very overpriced for design and quality. Returning immediately.
