Decades after she came into the spotlight, and decades after her death, Carolyn Bessette has continued to be a fashion icon. She’s inspired so many trends in the 2020s, and has remained a style it-girl since then. And while many of her staples have been discontinued, we found one accessory she was photographed rocking. And the best part? You can buy it today for $35.

In photos obtained by Carolyn Bessette Kennedy Lookbook, we can see her rocking the L.L. Bean Boat and Tote on Nov 30, 1997 in Hyannisport. So, yes, clear as day, we can see her rocking the staple tote!

The L.L. Bean Boat and Tote is a versatile bag, which is available in four sizes and 12 colors. (However, we’re partial to the classic black and white one, especially since Bessette wore it)! The reinforced bag is perfect for holding heavyweight objects, making it a must for travel.

It’s the classic tote you can bring anywhere, and it’ll work with any outfit!

Now, along with Bessette loving the bag, shoppers can’t get enough of the iconic tote. One shopper said, “The absolute best tote! I’ve owned well over 15 L.L. Bean Boat and Totes in various sizes. These rugged and heavy-duty totes are by far the most durable and the best tote bags on the market. The sturdy reinforced handles are the key. We use all of our totes daily. Groceries, camping, trips to the beach, and for everything in between.”

Another shopper said, “These totes are great for so many things. I love the variety of sizes. The large is great for packing towels, etc. for the beach. Also great as a teacher bringing stuff back and forth from school.”

“Bought this for my daughter and she loved it. She uses it all time. It is perfect for shopping and and specially casual outings,” another shopper added.
