Forget the hype behind the Trader Joe’s canvas tote, BEAMS and L.L. Bean have come together to strengthen the design of the 1944-born Boat and Toe bag silhouette.

The L.L. Bean Boat and Tote is one of the American outdoor brand’s most ubiquitous silhouettes, remaining for the most part unchanged throughout its existence–until now. Japanese fashion label BEAMS has reimagined the classic tote bag model by combining elements of the archival L.L. Bean Zipper Duffle Bag with the base of the Boat and Tote.

BEAMS adds a double zip at the mouth of the bag for extra secure storage, while maintaining the deep bottom design and functional outside pockets of the original design. In addition to the sturdy leather handles, the bags also come with a removable crossbody strap for versatile styling. The collaborators are offering two retro colorways including a model with a navy body and green tape and a brown brown model with green tape, each offered in Mini, S, M, L, and XL.


The BEAMS x L.L. Bean Boat and Tote is set for release on Saturday, December 7 at BEAMS PLUS and BEAMS BOY stores and the official BEAMS web store.
