Thanks for the weight comparison! Yes MaiTai inserts are feather weight. At least 7RP is still lighter than Samorga. Worth considering. But the price [emoji20]....

I agree. If the price is €100 lower, I would consider it!
I bought my birkin inserts from LUXE_BYNI on instagram but they cost around $143 CAD... They do fit perfectly and work great but I feel like I paid too much
You look like you collect inserts like I do. Thank you for these photos!
Hi girls, I just received the 7 rue paradis insert for my B35 today. I have tried both D&C and Maitai's inserts in the past and had been trying to find something that's lighter and gentler than D&C's yet still hold its structure in the bag. I've been put off to try 7RP due to pricing reasons but I think you will be better off with one insert that works perfectly than spending on quite a few but non does 100% of the job. So this one really does what they say they do. I'm quite happy with the quality and craftmanship as well as the fact that it's in a gentle soft fabric but still helps holding up the bags shape. Here are some pictures I took. I'm also happy with the weight. I can understand that given the need of having some structure, it would be heavier than Maitai's inserts but it's not overly heavy at all. I'm looking to get more from them for my kellys too but might do it slowly as it adds up to get 3 at once at their price point. [emoji12]

Hi everyone, I took some photos of my favorite inserts (full review and photos are here), and wanted to share some photos in this thread that might be of interest/help!
Mai Tai insert vs 7RP (both are for the 28cm Kelly)
7 Rue Paradis insert (in Etoupe, 28cm Retourne) in my Kelly - sits perfectly flush, no denting when the bag is closed. I feel comfortable leaving the insert in the bag for storage. I really like this insert, it's basically the perfect bag insert to me, the only consideration is the price (300 euro).
The 7RP insert sits up still even with items like my iPhone 6+ loaded in the pocket
Divide and Conquer insert in my 36 Garden Party - I don't use D&C for my Kellys because I'm paranoid about then denting my bag, but I love using the insert for my Garden Party - makes it the perfect diaper bag with the wipe clean bottom.
Please let me know if you have any questions on my experiences, I learned a lot from this thread so want to help as well!

thanks so much to you and to all our wonderful members for sharing!
do you have a preference for one? I have a D&C insert for my K which I really like, but I have yet to get one for my B and I don't know if to get D&C again or try the others. Thanks so much!

Hi Katherine, I love your blog - particularly the weekend updates, they are always enlightening. Thankyou for this post. I hope that either Mai Tai or Rue Paradis create an insert for the Bolide 35...
As much as the price point makes me cringe, I think I'm happiest with my 7RP inserts. I don't have quite as many as @TankerToad and if the right silk Fourbi found me, I would take that home but I'm going to factor in the insert into the cost of the bag like sales tax. Fortunately I don't do twillys or charms-is that money saved? 
If they make one for my HAC 32 I'll be thrilled!
I know the price is giving everyone pause but it's really a great size and fit, holds the phone up without collapse. I hope they continue to add variety and sizes! All the previous inserts made me scared of impressions on my smooshy Kelly, this one I'm happy to store inside it!
Here's my collection post

Do you have a favorite? So far I have Mai Tai inserts which to me are a liner. It may be described on her site as that.
I like inserts to keep the bag as clean as possible.
Looking at your collection it would be nice to know your thoughts since your inserts are diverse.

Thanks so much! I was afraid the fav would be the 7RP...that price point! Urgh! But it's how it goes. I mean we are protecting quite expensive handbags so; and I like your way of looking at it: just like taxes.
I think I may have to take the plunge! Thanks again for all the info!
Like others here I'm always looking for the perfect insert or liner.
For the Pico and for the Bolide the MaiTai are the best and almost only choices. The Hermes silk fourbi I love - better than the herringbone canvas which I had and sold when I got the silk- they are beautiful, lightweight and cheerful- as well as functional.
The chameleon is good for a Constance.
The D&C are perfect for a GP or longchamp or Hermes canvas bag.
The rue paradis is nice for my soft Kelly 28-
For Birkins I use the large silk fourbi or the MaiTai
The 40 cm D&C I use for a very soft 40B I have
The 30 MaiTai insert works for a soft 35 Kelly too
I have 2 rue paradis - I may add one more- they are quite nice
