L.L. Bean Signature, the elevated line designed by Alex Carleton, won't officially launch until March, but the company's just released two bags as a sartorial appetizer to the main collection of affordable tapered flannels, cotton trenches and chinos. The first bag is a salt-washed version of their classic tote bag. The second is this handsome, vegetable-tanned leather bag, $189 (with free shipping). A rugged alternative to the traditional tote.
