Hi @odette57 , do you mind sharing a pic of how the K28 mai tai insert fits in your K32 sellier? As I have been contemplating between the K32 insert or the K38 insert as I like 'em real snug, just OCD that way

Sure I will when I get home today. However, I have a maitai for B30 which is actually a little smaller in specs than the one she has for K32 retourne and it is big for my K32 sellier. Mai tai doesn't have one for K32 sellier and she suggested to @Pocketbook Pup to get a K28 one instead.
I haven't gotten around to ordering mine yet. I should order. I'm post when I get it.
Hi,
Does it fill the bag or is there room at the side? It is so difficult to take photos of the inside of bags. Thanks for trying.
Thank you so much @odette57 for taking the time to take this shot. From what I see on this pic @Pocketbook Pup, I think there's still gaps on the side if I'm not wrong.
Before reading this thread, I ordered a K32 insert from IG @luxe_byni (I always use her inserts because they're so lightweight but also really structured and stiff so they fix all the slouchy-ness of my B35 and Toolbox; I will post a different photo for this reference) without knowing that the inside of a sellier is different than of a retourne. That was when I panicked and asked you for a shot of your MaiTai insert because I was so sure my insert was not going to work.
I just got my inserts from @luxe_byni this afternoon, and to my surprise, it fits like a glove, it wasn't too big for my sellier!! I feel so relieved because this insert is actually quite pricey than most and I didn't need it for structure, so your MaiTai insert was actually enough just to protect the interior.
Thank you again

Thank you again
Thank you for the info. It did look from the photos like there are gaps on the sides with the Mai tai 28 insert which makes sense of it's 26 cm. I'm guessing that the interior of a 32 sellier must be about 30-31. Hopefully it will be close enough. I really like her inserts and I don't want to pay too much for an insert.
Yeah it is hard to take a picture inside. It wouldn't really call it a gap because it is still touching the sides. It is not snug on the sides but it stays in place and I feel it to be protecting the interior enough.
I received my bag insert from 7RP and the material is extremely soft but very structured. It fits my Kelly 28 Retourne just right, I think it could be just a little smaller in length because it makes the sides of the leather pop out a little but I could easily push the leather back in to normal shape. Wouldn't say it's a 'perfect' fit if my leather is pushed out. Quality is definitely good but when I showed my partner the insert, he said it feels nice but definitely not worth €300. I do agree with him. It didn't give me wow factor. I might explore other options.
Hi ladies,can I check with those who owns a dark coloured 7RP insert,will there be any colour transfer to your lighter coloured leather SLG? I'm thinking of getting one 7RP insert in purple colour but is worried that there will be colour transfer to my SLGs. Appreciates your input. Many thanks.
Has anybody purchased a k28 insert from divide and conquer? If so, did you order standard size or custom? I have a snug fit birkin insert but find it a bit to tight. I don't want that to happen in the Kelly so I don't know if I should order the standard or custom size. Thanks
I've been a visitor to this thread for some time, but have decided to become a member today to share my feedback re the Birkin 35 L'Insert I have purchased from Rue Paradis.
Reading the descriptions on their site, I was disappointed to see that the RP insert leaves a large gap when I fitted it into my B35 Birkin. Rue Paradis claims that their product is "designed to fit your bag with absolute perfection".
In reality, the insert is practically swimming in my bag. I am not happy to have spent 400 EUR on an insert that does not even cover the base of my bag.. the protection of my Birkin's interior leather was one of my main concerns when making this purchase.
Otherwise the quality seems fine, but I agree with the poster above.. the 'Wow factor' is definitely missing, and the price tag compared with others is certainly high. I would at least hope that it is functional and conforming to the seller's claims.
Since the gap is so large I thought that perhaps I have been sent a smaller insert by mistake, but I checked the width and height, which both correspond to a B35. I would say that the insert is 3-4 cm too short:
I like the structure the long panels provide, but when you cinch your bag to close it, the stiff end panels fold towards the center of the bag which I don't like because they push against my small leather goods etc.
Reading little.bears comment above makes me think that if my insert was the correct length, the end panels would push open my bag in the same way she says hers does when it's cinched. As much as I would not want that to happen, a too short and 'swimming' insert is not satifying at all.
I hope this review is helpful, I certainly wish I would have known about these issues.
