Can anyone tell me if the Fourbi silk insert helps maintain the shape of a B35? If not, would you recommend D&C or MaiTai?
For maintaining shape, both MaiTai and D&C work...
MaiTai - perfect size, some thought its more like a bag liner, you still need to stuff it with something inside like airbag/tissue while in storage. Works great if the bag is newer.
D&C - perfect size, you can leave it inside your bag as is in storage (I prefer the flexible end). I think it will reshape a used bag.
I don't have Fourbi but it looks soft and not perfectly made for B35 may do the work as MaiTai but Fourbi is expensive.
Based on your purpose, I would suggest D&C. HTH.
Thank you so very much for the detailed response - extremely helpful! You rock!!
Update: Just ordered two more inserts from Connie at D&C, she is a joy to work with and an excellent communicator. Am gradually replacing all of of my inserts with D&C, love how they hold the shape of a B/K without stretching it or making it too rigid. 
I have ordered two now, one for my GP 36 and one for my new GP 30 (pic attached). Both are "natural" color and have the flexible sides. For me, they are perfect and D&C's service is unmatched!Thank you for posting this photo. Surprisingly, there aren't many photos that show an overhead view of GP inserts. Yours looks like a nice match for the lining of your Garden Party. Do you know what Connie calls this color you ordered?
In your photo, it looks like the sides of the insert behave nicely when your GP is snapped. Did you ask for the flexible side panels or did the regular panels have enough bend in them?
Last question: Did you order one of D&C's standard sizes, or did you ask her for custom measurements for your insert? What size is your GP?
Many thanks for your assistance
Thanks, BG! I appreciate this information and you seem delighted with the insert.
Did you have to give Connie the desired measurements for your GP30? I see she has a standard listing for GP36 but I did not find one for GP30. If you have a link, I'll follow it
I didn't give any measurements. I just ordered "as is" (for both) from her Etsy listings. Hope that helps!
hi ladies I've just received my bag inserts from the MaiTai Collection today and they are SUPERB! I got 4 inserts from them, 2 for my Garden Partys, 1 for my Lindy and 1 for my Picotin Lock. When the parcel arrived, I was surprised by how light the four inserts tgt with all the packagings can be! the inserts themselves weight like nth and are very stretchy.
However I do have one question, do u guys store the inserts inside the bag or separately on their own? storing them inside saves a lot of space but I'm kinda worried that they will stretch out my handbags as time goes by?�� I know they are soft like butter but just wna make sure that no damage will be done to my H bags![emoji16]
Here is a photo of the insert inside my etoupe Picotin lock 18, I have a pen case, cigarette case, tissue paper, a lil pouch for my hand sanitizer, pills, earphones etc, my cosmetic bag (forgotten to include my wallet!)

This Nike Studio Kit 2.0 in Medium size fits perfectly into my Evelyne PM and almost comes up to the top of the bag, also has two inside pockets, one outside zip pocket and the whole thing zips closed. Much better than the Tintamar I ordered and doesn't mark the soft leather

Don't worry, Mai Tai will not stretch out, but I recommend to take all your stuff out of bag before storing. I always empty my bag when I get home..

Am sure this is up for debate, i.e. the correct way to store H bags but I store mine in their original boxes with the inserts ~ completely empty~ inside of them. So far they look perfect.
