Bag Inserts List: New Updates post #4,032

Is it possible your Birkin is a bit bigger? Birkins are handmade and sometimes there is some stretching of leather
I doubt it but maybe?
My 7/P is a darn close fit on all three of the bags I ordered them for
They are expensive - so hopefully you find something you like better!

As suggested by so many, I contacted RP7 and had a reply within 24 hours. The brand manager wrote a very nice email, confirming I received a Birkin35 insert. She suggested to refund the order. The refund was credited within minutes.

She explained:

“To perfectly fit most Hermès Birkin bags, L'Insert B35 must be 31 cm long. That is […] the most suitable length to make L’Insert functional while keeping the matching Birkin 35 fully functional too”​

Also she said:

"L'Insert isn't a liner […] When designing it, we didn't intend for it to line all inner sides of its matching handbag […] it was designed to use the inner available space in the most efficient way […] while keeping the bag functional, open or closed, full or empty."​

These explanations make me understand better what the 7RP insert is about, what they can do and what they can’t. The insert seems very good for organising. But since it is considerably shorter than the bag, in my view it does not double as a liner and does not protect reliably the interior of my bag. When I toss things into my bag, I don’t want to worry if they fall into the gap or not!

If only this would have been more clearly stated on the website the hassle and disappointment of this purchase could have been avoided. On 7RP’s site, the fit of the insert is described as "snug as a bug" and that it is “designed to fit your bag to absolute perfection”. From this, I didn’t expect to find it leaving a large gap in my bag. And especially not since 7RP says on their site that “L’Insert protects the inside of your bag from scratches, stains and liquid spills”. I prefer to have the entire base of my Birkin protected, and will look now for an insert which organises and protects.

A final remark..I looked again at the earlier pictures of 7RP B35 inserts shown in this thread, and (as the posters say) they look flush against the bags (snug fit). Maybe at some stage the 7RP B35 inserts were longer than the 31cm they are now? I am curious why they are shorter now. It certainly would help with the problem little.bear encountered with her 7RP K28 insert a few pages ago.

I'm so sorry you had this experience with them. I just recently ordered one for my 35cm Birkin (received it last week) and the fit is perfect. There's barely any room for s slender object to fit between the insert and the end wall of the bag, which is as flush as I'd want it to allow the ends to be drawn in.

However, it's good to hear that they stand behind their product and have refunded your money!

Thank you for the thought. But the problem is not with the bag. The base panel of my Birkin 35 measures 35 cm and the 7RP B35 insert is 31 cm:

It's great that your insert fits. The gap in mine is so big that an overstuffed wallet fits inside:

That's exactly how I like an insert to fit in my bags. The snug fit that I see with 7RP inserts in other people's bags is too tight for my comfort. But I use inserts for ease of changing bags, not for protection. I learned the hard way that a bag insert doesn't offer much protection when you spill soup inside your bag!

Hope you find an insert that works for you!

Hello dear, I have a B35 with both MaiTai and D&C inserts and do plan on getting one from 7RP, I did a quick measurements:
MaiTai is approx 34cm - soft bag liner/organizer
D&C is approx 30.5cm - hard bag insert/organizer with plastic liner
Both inserts fit perfectly inside my B35 and won't leave marks on my bags during storage. I alternating both inserts for different usage purposes.

If 7RP measures 31cm (which is 0.5cm bigger than D&C) that leaves only 2cm on each side bottom, 7RP definitely will work for my B35 as a bag insert and organizer and won't stretch or leave marks on the leather, I don't want an insert that is too tight on the bottom which eventually will stretch out my Birkin.

I also think it all depends on how we carry/use our Birkin, based on the photo you posted, it was shown wide open and the insert was pushed to one side leaving the other side with gap... my personal preference is to "drop" the insert in the middle of my B35 while the leather parts on the sides fold inward naturally which leaves no or minimum rooms on the sides. Hope my picture (D&C insert) helps explaining further and that you will find your ideal insert soon

+1... if the insert is "full length", the sides of the bags wont be able to fold in naturally... personally i also dont like it when the insert fits too snug, bag looks boxy. Anyway glad that you got a quick resolution Giakoma.

Hi Ladies
Do you have the measurement of B25 & K28 Sellier from 7RP insert?
TIA

I bought both the Mai and D&C inserts and love them both! I use the d&c in my clemence Birkin and I think it really really helps to keep its shape. I use the mai insert in my Togo Birkin and Kelley. It's soft, light and doesn't add any weight

I am desperately looking for a bag insert/organizer for my Evelyne PM III. Divide and Conquer no longer makes them, so do you have any other suggestions? Thank you!

I got this one off eBay for under $5.00 USD on the recommendation of a member in this forum (can't remember who, or find the post now). It works well has zippered compartments for extra security. One note: If you wear your bag "H" out, the color shows through (see photo) so you'll want to be mindful of that. I wear that side toward me, so I just bought my favorite color. This insert also works well in Marwari PM, so it does double duty in my collection.

Thanks so much, MommyDaze!

I wanted to report back that I finally got around to ordering my Mai tai collection Kelly 28 insert fit my 32 sellier. It arrived today. It fits perfectly. I highly recommend it.

Can you post pics? I'm looking for an insert for my k28 retourne but couldn't decide if I should get the d&c or maitai. I used d&c insert on my bs and k35 and recently noticed that the sides of my bags where the insert top are a bit stretched. I'm not sure if it's due to the insert or age of the leather. These are the only two reputable companies I know of that makes inserts for k28. Thanks
