Bag Inserts List: New Updates post #4,032

[ouija board]

I use the Chameleon insert in Large for my 30cm Birkin. Not luxurious like the other brands, but is very lightweight, fits well without pushing on the leather, and most importantly, fits in multiple sizes of my bags. My only complaint with the brand is that they don't make an insert that fits the Evelyne PM.

Read about MaiTai's inserts. They and 7 rue Paradis seem to be taking a lead among forum members. MaiTai's prices are significantly lower than 7RP.

I have several D&C inserts and I like them a lot - however I don't think they are designed to be as gentle on a bag's interior as Maitai's are. I will keep using D&C inserts for the Garden Party but on a Birkin or Kelly I prefer an insert designed with no exterior seams. I wish MaiTai included key fobs and other features as D&C does.

I have no experience with Daffy's Dream but you can search this thread

Thank you for the tip QuelleFromage! I will check out maitai [emoji7]

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is doing great! I have my very first B30 and would love a bag insert. I can't decide between Divide and Conquer, Daffy's Dream on Etsy? I am torn because Daffy's Dream has multiple colors, but D&C has just one and she is well known. Also, I am open to any other well known brands for Birkin 30. Thank you!

Congratulations on your new and first Birkin! I've received mine less than 2 weeks agora well and as you did, started looking for the "most perfect" insert before I start using it. After reading so many comments and watching YouTube reviews I ordered the MaiTai in taupe and I couldn't be happier. The insert is incredibly well-made, arrived within 2 days and you can't tell that you're using an insert as it's follows the bag's shape without denting it. My B30 is in Togo. I strongly recommend it. Wear her in good health [emoji4][emoji92]

Has anyone found an organizer or liner that they particularly like for a Lindy 26? I just got my first lindy, and am thinking about getting an organizer or liner to protect the inside of the bag. I am worried, though, about making the bag too structured so that it doesn't fold into the fortune cookie shape easily. I did some searching through previous threads, but didn't see anything specifically addressing the Lindy 26 and foldability.

From what I have found, the options are:
-Divide and Conquer: I emailed Connie with my question about whether her organizer will still allow folding, and she said that if I was concerned about too much structure, I should not purchase one of her organizers (even with the flexible ends).
-Samorga: I have two samorgas for my LV speedies and like them a lot, but I suspect they may be a bit stiff for what I am looking for.
-Chameleon unstructured: never used a chameleon in one of my bags before, although I'm a bit hesitant about the nylon material (would be open to trying if anyone really likes it, though!)

Anyone have thoughts about the above or about other organizers?

Thanks much!

I use my MaiTai 30 Birkin insert for my Lindy (30) as well and it still folds easily into the fortune cookie shape. I really like the MaiTai inserts so maybe those are something to check out if you already haven't.

Thanks! I had looked at her site, but didn't see a listing specifically for a Lindy 26. It looks like the Birkin 25 insert fits, though, so I may give that a try.

I'd love to hear how it works out for you. I'm looking for an insert for my lindy 26 too. Thanks!

I have to share this story because it is yet another reason why you NEED a bag insert...I was at a client dinner tonight at a steakhouse. When our lovely waitress was serving the sides, down and into my bag they went...yep...delicious and quite greasy brussel sprouts into my lovely B30. Luckily, I had my bag insert and no greasy sprouts even touched my B30. Thank goodness! Running to buy an insert for my little B25 now.

Yikes! This just makes me cringe! SO glad your bag is OK.

I know! I had to keep my cool in front of the client, but I'm not going to lie, my heart was raising as I was very discretely removing the sprouts from my bag and checking to make sure it was okay. Within a minute, the manager came with his card saying they would take care of any expenses associated with cleaning the bag. They were very nice about it.

OMG - this may sound nuts but I'd prefer it if the waitress dropped the sprouts on me rather than the bag [emoji37] Glad your B30 survived unscathed.

FYI, I asked MaiTai about her inserts for the 28 Kelly sellier and none of them would work as of now, although she is planning to make something available. I hope soon, her pieces are so pretty as well as functional. [emoji254]

So the MaiTai insert that I ordered for my Lindy 26 arrived The insert isn't made for the Lindy 26--instead, it's for the Birkin 25, but is listed as fitting the Lindy per customer feedback (http://maitaicollection.com/collect...for-other-bags-and-styles?variant=16818992449). I let MaiTai know when I ordered that I wanted it for the Lindy and she warned me that the dimensions may be a bit off, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyhow. There wasn't much information I could find about inserts for the Lindy 26 (and MaiTai's sounded like it might fit the bill--not too stiff, nice construction, etc). The insert is beautifully made, lightweight, and came very nicely packaged. It is not, however, a great fit for the Lindy in my opinion. It fits inside, but is much smaller than the bag (see picture). In addition, the bottom is stiffer than I expected--while the Lindy can still fold, I have to kind of "encourage" it a bit to get it to.

I want to emphasize that I think very highly of MaiTai and the insert--I have no complaints about the quality of the product. It just isn't the best fit for my Lindy. I have ordered the Samorga to try out, and will report back if that works out better.

I have my new Mai Tai inserts now. They are also all lined up on a shelf with proper daily necessities ready to go thanks to the inspiration of PocketbookPup!
I like them a lot, but the padding does take a lot of space out of, say, a Kelly 28. Interestingly my very vintage K28 (1952) appears to be a tiny bit smaller than the newer ones and the insert doesn't really fit.

Another note....This isn't a critique of D&C at all, but just a note on the D/C Garden Party 36 insert. You know how she says the "no-collapse" guarantee does not apply if you carry a laptop in the bag?

She means it My insert is flooped like a pancake
