Update: I bit the bullet and got a Evelyne TPM insert from WhiteFox as I was impressed with what a great job she did on the Mini Lindy insert.

I went with one with a zipper but no internal pockets, given how narrow the bag already was, and because I wanted some security for my commuting.

I chose Rose Cloud as I fell in love with the shade and decided I wanted a different colour insert to the Gold leather to create some contrast, and I think it worked perfectly.

Since I had continued using the Etsy insert while waiting, there is still some indentation on the bag - I’m not sure if that will ever go away, but I’m hoping that the thinner linen insert will go some way to ameliorating this. Only time will tell I guess!

Given that I chose an insert with a zipper, I decided that I would leave most of the items in the organiser loose, rather than bulking them up with superfluous pouches to categorise items.
I’ve also included some comparisons with the old insert. The linen is definitely of better construction compared to the thick felt.
