Coastal & Nautical Series · Vintage L.L. Bean Medium Tote · One of One
Low tide, high spirits.
A yellow fish swims across the top of the front panel, stitched right over the handle and lettered Tidewater Flats, Open Derby '89, like a trophy patch from the summer someone finally landed the big one. Just below it, a Summer Adventure badge catches a windsurfer leaning hard into the breeze, sail up, cutting across bands of orange and gold water. At the bottom, a little surfboard rides along with palm trees silhouetted against a yellow sun.
Set on ocean-blue canvas with olive trim, the whole bag reads like the inside of a beach shack door, every patch collected one sunburned trip at a time.
Around it, the souvenirs that come home in the bottom of a beach bag:
A California Surfing Team crest in cream, orange, and aqua, topped with a golden shell
A Malibu banner with a palm tree rising over the waves
A scalloped Summer badge with palms swaying over the water
A Wave Riders patch, a surfer carving through a curling wave
A sunburst badge with a surfer silhouette, board tucked under one arm
A script surf patch in orange and cream, straight off a boardwalk souvenir stand
