I love this so much. My introduction to the Boat Tote was with my MIL bought the mini version for each of my kids so it's never felt like *fashion* to me. When the Tibi one released I was underwhelmed again. Now the Boatkin did pique my interest but I blame being too online right now.
Thank you Kelly !! And I feel the same way about the Boatkin —it’s intriguing but I think it’s a product of the moment. I honestly think the general public is going to get Birkin fatigue here pretty soon… lol
That was very thorough and a fun read, Emilee, thank you! I'll stick with my cheap Indigo Books bonus-with-purchase "Cool Cats Read" tote, lol (yes, it's covered in cats). It seems very silly to spend so much money on a bag that probably cost under $100 to make.
When the Tibi one came out my first thought was: how could I DIY this? Also: the best place on Earth to get boat and totes is by FAR the L.L. Bean outlet! They always have tons of 'em for ~$15, it's a gold mine honestly.
I like the Boatkin it’s super fun and clever, I like the RL one too very sim to the Picotin imo, I love canvas totes and glad they are really having a moment. I’ve debated the Garden party many times, Always useful and fun!
I love the Nor’easter version for travel! Zip top and waterproof apron for the win. I am also a fan of Rue de Verneuil and they just did a cute collab with La Ligne!

yes to everything you said —I love a sleek, simple color blocking with a true primary/saturated color so the RL & the garden party are perf
