Smith<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Gwyneth (GPM). Reese (LWR). Carolyn (CKB). Julia (JRF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know, you know. Not expensive, easily ordered online, and once you have one, more are inevitable. Introduced as <a href=\"http:\/\/LLBEAN.COM\">L.L. Bean<\/a>\u2019s Ice Carrier way back in 1944, the Boat and Tote was billed as a bag made of builders\u2019 canvas for hauling ice \u201cfrom car to ice chest.\u201d Today you can spot the iconic tote doing \u201cheavy lifting\u201d everywhere \u2014 from the grocery store to the private plane. Tested to hold up to 500 pounds but most likely carrying a laptop and charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boat and Tote is the antithesis of a matching set of LV luggage but some would say just as obscene in that it\u2019s a status symbol of New Yorkers as they don\u2019t have cars or boats, but they define themselves as being WASPy with the presence of their tote. Boat and Totes strike the right balance of laid-back style and are intense practicality. It\u2019s like a good watch or a great shoe. They\u2019re gender-neutral, utilitarian and well-made. As one style-maker was quoted as saying, \u201cThey never wear out or look bad. They age gracefully, like Blythe Danner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monograms are optional but Reese believes you should.
