Anyone ever made a BASE SHAPER?

#31
Thank you LaurieLou! :heart:

I don't like saggy LV anything and ordered an All-In-One Shaper by HippieGal for my Speedy 35 too. Luckily, my mono BH doesn't need any shaper whatsoever--and comes ready-to-use. :biggrin:

When I got my speedy, she had some wrinkles in it from the folding, I had a base shaper I bought, and I use that when I go out- but when shes at home, she has the shaper, two magazines and about 3 pairs of sweatpants in her to make sure those wrinkles come out, shes totally stuffed and gorgeous to look at! I like the shapers, but I think they could be more stiff- I have the ones with the sides with compartments and stuff-

My husband actually made me one for my speedy. He makes prosthetics for a living and uses leather a lot, he just sewed two pieces of leather together with yellow stitching, similar to the yellow stitching on LV's. It came out great, and looks like it came with the bag!

Some of the LV boxes come with a stiff brown cardboard that is removal. I've used that before as a base shaper and it's perfect.

Others have suggested opening a CD case and leaving it flat on the bottom. I've used that before as well and it works too.

I'm considering buying Speedy next - so this thread is very informative.

I made this from a piece of cardboard, some magazines, and some wide, clear packing tape. Voila! Personalized bag shaper! I ended up rounding the corners per someone else's suggestion, FYI.

I bought Speedy 30 for my SIL 2yrs ago & today she mentioned abt the Speedy's bottom sagging issues.
I looked at it & cut a pc of plastic base & wrap it up with the only material at my place-(nobody look in2 the bag anyway} until i can find another matching material.
Now she's much happier esp looking at the way it hangs with a load of stuff in it. I must teach her to stuff the bag when it's not in use to retain its shape.
Just to share how sturdy is the base:- I placed heavy IKEA bowls for demo.
