The same mai tai inside my lindy

I love MaiTai's inserts and this looks so pretty! Does the insert still allow the Lindy to fold up like a fortune cookie?

I've been using a soft 'Purse To Go', but it's getting a bit old and I'm not a huge fan of the color....but it does allow the bag to fold in, which I like!

Yes the mai tai insert is mooshy and allows lindy to fold up still. Love it!
 
I ordered both D& C and MT insert for my vintage 28 Kelly in evercalf. Hands down MTs was a winner. It is slim, elegant and lovely in the graphite with white stitching and not puffy at all. Her packaging arrived impeccably. The DC was too stiff, but I am using it for my plumes and it fits my 28 plumes just great.

BTW, the DC did seem to create visible creasing when I tried it in the evercalf Kelly, and MTs does not. So I am glad I ordered both. I love the softness and elegant look of MTs.

What do you think is the best insert to help maintain structure on a clemence B30? I was looking at a D&C, but some ladies had mentioned that it left marks on their bag. But I don't think any of the others have the stiff bottom and that bit of firmness that I was hoping for. Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated. :smile:
Hello MJ, I have both MaiTai and D&C for my Togo B30 and Clemence K32. Both work great and D&C with flexible ends did not create marks on my B30 cus it's made slightly smaller than the actual bag size. However D&C are little heavier than MaiTai insert if weight is an issue for you. If you worry, my suggeation is to take the insert out when you get home, but I left it inside without any issue. I think the problem with marking is that the insert is stuffed with bulky contents, I always "empty" or at least not stuffed the insert with bulky items before I put them back in storage position on my shelf. My K32 is clemence leather and I feel the newer clemence leather are stiffer and stronger, thus far my K32 Clemence are holding up like new. :smile: HTH :hugs:

Hi tonkamama!! Thank you so much for that great information!! I think I will give the D&C a try...I don't carry much at all, just a cardholder or small wallet, compact, sunglasses, lipgloss, iPhone... So I think it would be fine. Glad to hear your K32 Clemence is holding up great! My B30 is new so it seems to be the stronger stiffer Clemence as you mentioned.

Thanks again for the helpful insight! :)
