Not really "Fashion/Beauty" but Lands' End or LLBean Canvas Totes

I am looking to purchase one of the xtra-large canvas totes to double as a carry on/beach bag for an upcoming cruise.  I've heard great things about both.  I'm having a hard time deciding which to go with.  Here's my dilema

Lands' End:

Pros:  has multiple pockets inside, a wider range of color choices

Cons:  most of the reviews indicate they wish the straps were longer so when full and carrying it on your shoulder, it would be more comfortable. 

 

LLBean:

Pros:  has the option of ordering longer straps

Cons:  no pockets inside, not a wide range of color options

 Do any of you own either of these?  What are your thoughts?  I'm leaning toward the LLBean because being able to carry it on my shoulder is kinda important to me.  However, Lands End has better color choices and I'm not sure if I will miss the inside pockets.  Decisions, decisions.

  • We have several lands end ones and they are great. I don't know if the others zip but that is my favorite feature. I LOVE them - no problems or complains whatsoever.

  • I love Lands End  Have one myself and just gave two as gifts  I have no cons to name and I plan on giving monogrammed ones as gifts for Christmas with goodies inside.  Like for H's mom I will give a medium size that has her grandma name monogrammed on it and some stuff inside, like a scarf, gloves, etc.  I like the bags and have always had great reviews!

  • I have two LL Bean ones, with the long strap (this is a necessity!) and a zip top.  They are great!  I don't miss pockets.  I use zippered makeup bags (like the cute freebies from Clinique bonus) to organize things inside.

    Thanks Kris but I really want the zip top one.  I don't know why they don't offer a zip top with the long handle. 

     

     

  • Personally, I would end up using a bag more that was comfortable to carry around but may not have enough pockets (LLB) verses having enough pockets but not comfortable to carry (LE).  Like a PP said, you can use things such as coin purses to keep things separate.
