Bag Inserts List: New Updates post #4,032

[Sycomore]

This probably won't help you but maybe it will help someone else. I have a Kelly40 and I use a birkin35 maitai insert. It fits perfectly. It kind of confirms to me that a Kelly40 is equivalent to a bitkin35. I am sure a birkin40 is a bit larger than the 35 insert.

Thank you for the reply [emoji5] that is very interesting, it does help me a little. At least I know it wouldnt be that small. Oh I wish you had a B40 hehe.

I'm still waiting to hear from MaiTai if she is willing to custom made an insert. I love linen and the colors of her inserts...

Heehee. Me too. Glad it was of some help to you.

Am trying to justify the price of the 7RP compared to D&C, insert which is much less expensive.
Does anyone have input regarding a comparison of trying both of these inserts in their Bs/Ks?
Realize that a 7RP is basically the cost of an H spa for a bag but still cannot seem to fathom that is is so much better than D&C.

Any insight will be much appreciated.

I don't have a comparison pix but I have used 7RP (thanks to my H fairy godmother you know who you are [emoji173]), Maitai and D and C, and I have to say I would put 7RP comparable to H insets, except H doesn't make a size fits 35 perfect and 7RP does.

The 7RP's fabric feels luxurious when you go into your bag and grab things. D and C doesn't have that feel. I like Mai Tai for the price, and the hand feel still is better than D and C. I think it all depends on what you want! Function wise they are all the same though. However I love my 7RP the best, but probably because it's from a good friend and it makes me think of her when I use it so it might be why I am that partial to it as supposed to any other ones. Hope this helps and good luck deciding!!

Thanks xioxio! Looks like I many have to invest in a few 7RP for a few of my bags!

Anyone has the MaiTai insert for Birkin 35 and also own a Birkin 40? Please help me out and let me know how does it fit? Is the insert way too small for the bag? I'm thinking about buying the 35 for my 40 bag anyway.

I tried this and found it ineffective. There's a gap on the side which makes the insert move around and it's just too small. I also emailed MaiTai re: custom order for a B40 insert and they responded (nicely) that they're unable to do that.

I would say just get one! Honestly you don't need one for every bag (no judgement for those who do have one for every bag though). I have one for my 30's and can double up for 32's. One for my 35's and I don't use any for my 25 B or smeller bags. So I think you will be good with just 1 for 35 to start....

I also tried using the largest fourbi for 35 and I have to say it didn't work as well as 7RP which fits perfectly.

Having said that, like today I had to run a few errands and ended up with a pair of shoes (baby ones!), few shirts and a pair of baby pants in my 35, and I wish I didn't use an insert. Without one I am sure they will all fit but with the inset I almost couldn't fit everything inside. So while inserts have their pros, they will take up more room in the bag and won't be good when I am carrying a lot (like on the plane and such).

Hello dear, I don't have 7RP but thinking about ordering one size 30 to try (I know I will get over the price tag once I receive it ).

I love my D&C, it's affordable and serves the purpose for what I paid for (I ordered one for each of my B/K with matching colors ). I will continue use D&C because the design really works for me, it did not cause any damage to my bags mainly because I am a light packer. However I just ordered one MaiTai new revised version to try inside my new K28 (I had older version too for each of my B/K), knowing myself I probably will order another D&C for my new baby as well .

I just took the plunge and ordered a Kelly 28 Sellier insert from 7RP (Anemone). I sincerely hope the quality would be great to justify the price. [emoji28]

I always order my inserts from MaiTai but she does not have one for K28 Sellier.

I have multiple sizes of insert from maitai, including a B25 one, it fits perfectly in my kelly 28 sellier. Will take a picture this weekend

Just received a new B30 insert from MaiTai and I'm beyond impressed. Ordered last Thursday evening and it arrived to the US Tuesday. It fits perfectly in my new barenia B...much better than the Hermes fourbi I already had. I love that the sides do not cover the existing pockets inside the B. And it's super lightweight, beautifully made (as we already knew) and fits like an absolute dream.

Hello everyone [emoji846] any recommendations for insert for a B40? Besides Samorga?

When it comes to Samorga, anyone knows the difference between the double layer insert and the simple insert? I imagine the double layer is more structured but isn't it too stiff?

Just ordered one from DivideAndConquer on Etsy for mine...

I have 7RP, d and c, and samorga

I think it depends on the d and c choice and bag itself. My 30 d and c was too stiff for my clemence and Togo bags and you could see the outline when in the bag. The samorga also showed outline and was deeper, but less stiff. It is made of a felted material

I have a d and c for Kelly 32, it has a crease in the sides to account for the Kelly shape, and doesn't show when in the Kelly

What I love about the d and c is the key fob option as I can never find anything in my bag

7RP holds shape without affecting shape of my. Birkins. It also feels luxurious as xiaoxiao says.

Hope this makes sense

Does anyone have a Chameleon insert for their Lindy 30? From what I have read, some insert brands don't allow the bag to "fold".... Chameleon looks like it might? Mai Tai looks just gorgeous; however, pricey, and are they flexible? Just wondering if anyone has a bag like mine with an insert they love...please share . Thanks so much!

So the Samorga organizer for the Lindy 26 arrived, and sadly does not work for my bag. As you can see from the picture below, the insert is too large for the bag--the long sides have to buckle inwards for the insert to fit, which not only renders the bag unable to fold, but also gives me concern about damaging the bag over time from the insert pressing up against the inside. It is one thing to have a bag organizer that is designed for a different bag to not fit (I knew that I was taking that risk when I ordered the MaiTai B25 organizer to try out), it is another for an organizer advertised as being specifically designed for this bag to not fit. I thought that perhaps Samorga had made a mistake with their manufacturing and wrote them letting them know that what they sent me was too big for the bag. Their response was that their Lindy organizer is "not designed" to allow the bag to be hand/arm-carried because the felt material is "bulky," and that when using the organizer, the bag can only be carried by shoulder. None of this was disclosed on their website or in my order confirmation. To be fair, they are willing to allow me to return the insert, but shipping internationally is a huge hassle and I strongly feel that they should let customers know upfront if they are selling a product that does not allow full use of a bag. At least anyone reading this post can be forewarned now In addition, I should mention that I have two Samorga organizers for my LV Speedies and love them, so this is just an issue specific to their Lindy organizers.

Appreciate your detailed review! Too bad I ordered mine a few days ago and it's on the way
