BEAMS Remixes L.L. Bean’s Classic “Boat and Tote” Bag

by

As someone who’s spent years navigating through the bustling city streets with a collection of tote bags that could rival a small supermarket, I can confidently say that the BEAMS x L.L. Bean Boat and Tote collaboration has caught my attention. The fusion of classic American outdoor design with Japanese fashion sensibilities is a match made in bag heaven!

Instead of focusing on the excitement surrounding the Trader Joe’s canvas tote, it is worth noting that BEAMS and L.L. Bean have collaborated to enhance the design of the classic Boat and Toe bag shape, which originated in 1944.

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that the iconic L.L. Bean Boat and Tote design, a staple of American outdoor style, has undergone a fresh transformation! The revered silhouette, mostly untouched throughout its history, is now redefined by BEAMS, a renowned Japanese fashion label. They’ve ingeniously blended aspects of the L.L. Bean Zipper Duffle Bag with the foundation of the Boat and Tote, breathing new life into this classic tote bag model.

The BEAMS design features an additional secure double zip at the bag’s mouth, preserving its deep bottom design and useful exterior pockets from the original. To enhance convenience, these bags come equipped with a detachable crossbody strap along with robust leather handles for varied styling options. Lastly, the partnership presents two classic color schemes: one navy-green and another brown-green, available in Mini, Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Large sizes.
