I'm using MaiTai's insert. My Evie PM is REALLY soft due to being completely soaked in a flood, so I wanted to try to give it back a touch of shape.

If you had a brand new one would you use an insert from the beginning or no? I like it without one but don’t want it to lose its shape
Without going too far OT, it's a soft bag and is not meant to have a lot of structure, so that it can mold to your body. If you want a stiffer Evelyne you might want to see if they are still available in Madame or Epsom, etc. They don't tend to "lose shape" per se though.
Beyond that, it's really a matter of choice w/ an Evelyne - I don't usually worry about protecting the interior of unlined bags, and some people like/don't like seeing the insert through the perforations, especially if they wear the bag with the "H" outside.
Thank you! I love the shape and feel so have decided to go no insert, but appreciate all the suggestions here in case needed in the future
I know they are very expensive but I have tried them all and had some bad experiences. For my Hermes, I use 7rp. They are hands down the best imo. For other brands, I have good luck with Zoomoni too.Hi! I’m so sorry as I’m sure this has been answered a dozen times … but does anyone have the answer for what is the best insert and compartment for Birkin 35’s and 30’s? I want something to protect the inside of the bag from my wallet, lipstick, sunscreen (I know) … I would appreciate it very muchThank you!
Has anyone tried the insert from Luxe GooDZ for a birkin 30? I just ordered it via instagram & am hoping it's a good one for my new to me vintage box b30..? thx!
Do you think a MaiTai insert would be good for my "new" vintage box 30 in noisette? I shouldn't store it with it inside though right? Thx
Yep! I use MaiTai on all my Birkins: gator, Barenia, chèvre, Box, etc. I do NOT store bags with the inserts inside - I use a bag pillow if the bag needs a little structure.
great to know thx; I'm gonna order one then! If I just store it standing up with bubble wrap inside, will that help the slight dip in the front? thx!
is this a good one for it? LINEN COLLECTIONCOGNAC/TOILEYour bag: B30 / Birkin & are these better than rue 7 or the felt samorga ones? thx
I would personally use a pillow, or stuff with soft acid-free cloths, as it's a better shape than bubble wrap (also, personally I do not like plastic off-gassing inside my bags).
I like these and also the slightly stiffer ones like the Gaultier fabric. The pure linen ones are SO soft that eventually they can lose a bit of shape.
I can't speak to 7RP, because I think they are overpriced, and I tried felt inserts and don't love them. YMMV
Thx any recs for a pillow to use? Good point about bubble wrap. Ok I’ll check out the gaultier fabric as well. Yes the 7rp is so expensive wow 🤯I would personally use a pillow, or stuff with soft acid-free cloths, as it's a better shape than bubble wrap (also, personally I do not like plastic off-gassing inside my bags).

I agree - I had a little sticker shop when I looked at the 7RP Birkin inserts but compared to the price of the bag, I was willing to go for it. It’s been great so far in terms of protecting the inside and keeping its shape. For my Evelyne I went with one from Etsy that @themk888 recommended and it’s great so far.
