Meet the Boatkin bag — the easygoing canvas boat tote that started as one shopper's favorite and became a Planters Exchange staple. Roomy, relaxed, and finished with warm gold hardware, it's the bag you grab on the way to the office, the gym, or the pickup line. Browse the full lineup below: two silhouettes, fifteen color combinations, and a price that finally makes sense — each one shipped the same day from our shop on St. Simons Island.
Two silhouettes, fourteen colorways
The Boatkin comes in two shapes so you can match it to how you carry. The Original opens from the top with a gold turn-lock and comes with contrast or tonal straps — quick to reach into and easy to overpack in the best way. The Zip-Top adds a full-length zipper and slightly longer handles, so everything stays tucked in for travel and busy days. Between the two styles there are fourteen color combinations, from soft naturals to bright pops.
Made to be lived in
Every Boatkin bag is cut from sturdy cotton canvas with a soft, unstructured shape that only gets better with use. The gold-tone lock and hardware give a casual, grab-and-go tote a polished finish. And it's roomier than it looks — a laptop, a change of clothes, a water bottle, and everything else disappear inside.
How to choose
Reach for the Original if you like open-top access and a lighter, breezier carry for errands and everyday. Choose the Zip-Top if you'd rather have your things fully closed in for travel and busy days. Not sure on color? Naturals with navy or green straps are the most classic; the brights are the ones people stop you to ask about.
