Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone uses a bag base/shaper? Or do you prefer that saggy & casual look? If you do, what do you use? I hav ebeen looking for a base for my City and Giant City bags, but can't seem to find the right dimension for them on eBay.
 
Hi!
I think most Bal girls here love and prefer THE SLOUCH. The slouchier the better :lol: . It's one of the things that make these bags so "cuddly" and comfortable to carry. They just mold to your body and "hug" you. I love that! Lol.
But if you do want the base structured and not saggy, check Etsy maybe? While browsing I found a few that sell base shapers and also do custom made ones, I think.

Hi, if you prefer a structured look, it shouldn't be too difficult to have an insert custom made as Ears suggests.

She is also spot on about The Slouch. I also prefer it. In other design houses, I tend to stay away from structured bags with the City's or larger dimensions because those stick out too far from the body for my comfort/proportions. I've found that they get in the way or more easily damaged because it go out beyond my personal space radar, if that makes sense. But these Bal bags contour to you with a upside of "looking smaller".

Good luck!

I use a shaper for Neo, i couldn’t find the right size either so i ordered different ones from Temu really cheap and tried out until i found the right one.
 
I love slouch in my firsts, city bags, part time bags….in Work and Day I place a felt purse organizer because they are for when I am carrying a lot and like to be able to find stuff easily. Weekender is for travel only so no base shaper either
