L.L.Bean Boat & Totes

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.2441622&w=500&h=412&fv=clip_id%3D4374548%26server%3Dvimeo.com%26autoplay%3D0%26fullscreen%3D1%26md5%3D0%26show_portrait%3D0%26show_title%3D0%26show_byline%3D0%26context%3Duser%3A1666722%26context_id%3D%26force_embed%3D0%26multimoog%3D%26color%3D00ADEF%26force_info%3Dundefined] Just in time for summer, Mary Rose MacKinnon of L.L. Bean sent me this video featuring some great footage of their Boat & Tote in production. Pick yours up today. Once I get my ducks in a row, I’ll be picking up the Maine Inland Fisheries & Wildlife Hunter’s Bag; a portion of the purchase of one of these bags will be donated to the MDIFW.bat

    Very cool. I’ve been considering getting a custom tote from them. Too bad that Maine Inland Fisheries bag isn’t made in the US.

    I’m with David. You can find a bag made in the US. And send a few buck the Fisheries.

    Keep up the great work.

    Inspired post. I actually just got a couple of our several totes out of the attic a couple of weeks ago. Perfect for warmer weather outings. I know the video is set in a factory, but there is something comforting about seeing all of the hand crafting that go into making LLB totes. Cheers!

    Everybody should own at least two or three b&t bags. I have two large ones that I’ve been using for my groceries for almost 20 years.

    WM J Mills for life… literally. If you bag is ever messed up or anything except not losing it, then will send you a brand new one, no cost at all. Oh yea and that stands forever.
