The Outdoor Brand for Everyone
It all started in 1912 – with Leon Leonwood Bean and his groundbreaking Bean Boot. Over a century has passed since then, and even as we’ve grown and evolved, we’ve never strayed from his trailblazing spirit. It can be found in our culture of curiosity and innovation, paving the way for our problem-solving products; in our commitment to long-lasting quality, proven in the lab and in the field; and in our mission to make it easier for everyone – families and adventure seekers alike – to get outside together.

“The one thing I learned throughout my lifetime is the fact that outdoor recreation…has added years to my life span.”
Leon Leonwood Bean, My Story, 1961
L.L.Bean is still family-owned to this day, putting us in a unique position to put our customers first. It's why we're dedicated to doing things right every day, delivering the same friendly, personal, knowledgeable service we always have – from Toronto to Tokyo, online and in our stores.
See you out there!
