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

I can try but it's hard in a black bag, and mine is a 32 sellier. To see it in a 28 retourne I am sure Mai tai's photos are better. My two cents: I have one D and C insert that I bought for my older sofia Coppola mm size because it needed a structured bottom to keep its shape. I wouldn't trust the d and c inserts in my Hermes bags. I would be afraid that they would put too much pressure on the leather.

Mai Tai has some of her bag inserts on sale. I do not know if this has been posted yet. Anyone know the reason?

It looks like she's no longer going to make those bag inserts, it says end of line. I'm very disappointed she raise the price on the others.

I couldn't say anything before but please look at Mai Tai's site. Mai tai has improved her inserts. They are even better than before. I happened to have just ordered a k28 and a k35 insert and I received the new inserts this week. They are made of a more sturdy linen. It looks the same but is stronger. And there is a layer of something in between to give it more strength. They are fabulous. They don't flop in even when empty. In fact the construction makes them spring open instead of closed. But they don't put pressure on the leather. They seem like they are more expensive to manufacture, hence the small price increase. I have already ordered two more sizes. By the way, I don't know Mai tai or work for her. I'm just a loyal customer. I think her products are wonderful and I love that she provides such a service to our community with her lovely blog and scarf tying tutorial.

thanks for the detailed report, PbP, how is the weight of MaiTai's insert? Do you know if it is heavier with this newer version? Sorry I don't know whether you have the older version or not.

I do have both versions. They feel exactly the same in weight to me. I don't have an old and a new of the exact same size to weigh. When I get the two new ones I will, but I don't think there is a perceptible difference in weight.

Thank you PbP, I just visited Maitai's website, exploring scarf/shawl tutorials (shawl newbie), when I noticed that she has improved the B35 inserts (ordered some a couple of years ago). I'm also pleased with the news and looking forward reading your feedback when you get the new inserts.

Hi Serva. I have a new version of the k35 insert already. It's fabulous. See my comments above. I ordered a new b35 and k32 insert to replace my old ones which I will use for other storage purposes. Hoping o might need another size after my Paris trip [emoji6]

I'm so glad someone has already tried out the new line. Good to know! I need a little structure in my inserts and have been happy with Divide and Conquer, but I will check out MaiTai's new stuff! Thanks.
