If you have upcoming beach trips, outings at the park or are simply in the market for an everyday catch-all bag, you may be interested in our major Deal of the Day: The Lands' End Open Canvas Tote Bag is 40% off on Amazon right now and at one of its lowest prices ever. Lands' End Open Canvas Tote Bag It's an understatement to say we are passionate about tote bags at NBC Select. Our reporter Zoe Malin uses her Lands' End tote bag (a rival to the equally popular L.L. Bean Boat and Tote) practically every day and loves how surprisingly spacious it is. 'My favorite part is the built-in interior organization system. There's spots to put all the little things I typically lose inside my bag and the key leash is such an impactful and useful addition,' she says. 'The center of the bag is big enough for me to stuff bulkier items inside, like books or a larger wallet.' The base of the bag is also durable and water-resistant, so it can withstand a trip to the beach, pool or even recover from an occasional water bottle spill. It comes in more than six colors, too. A popular choice for bag-enthusiasts and a rival to the equally popular L.L. Bean Boat and Tote, the Lands' End tote is an NBC Select editor favorite. Want more from NBC Select?
