I want to be sure I understand your observations-
(Please correct me if I am wrong)

I have Chèvre K35 Retourne & originally bought the Mai Tai first release. The updated version came out. I bought that one.
Chèvre can slouch. I want more structure to my bag.
From your experience with 7RP, do you think it will help more so than the MT ? (I understand it's just your opinion [emoji4])

Yes, if you don't mind the price. I think the 7rP inserts fit the Kelly better. Hope this helps!
 
Such helpful reviews @MrsOwen3 and @hazefree2002, thank you!
I would like to splurge on a 7rp for my smaller Kellys. I have a sellier and a retourne but would rather not purchase two inserts. Has anyone used the 28sellier 7rp in their 28 retourne? I would love photos if possible. Thank you so much!

that would be totally fine I think, the sellier will be a little looser in the retourne but not by too much!

So I was trying to get an insert for my Evelyne TGM and ask around, most of the brands doesn't do special order. Samogra would do but their service is not customer friendly. From my friend, I have found this lady located in Taiwan. The company called is B.A.O. (Some of you may already know). Their inserts made with canvas. Their worked prefect for my TGM and even my mom got some for her. Most importantly the price was able $40ish CAD

Hi FatCat - could you possibly PM me the contact information for this B.A.O? I'd like to order one for my Evelyne and I can't seem to find them on the internet! :) Thank you!!
 
I'm not quite loving my MaiTai B35 insert. Not sure if I'm just being too fussy. Even though with the firmer construction I still feel that it's too "soft" that at times the front panel of the birkin will cave in, causing the insert to fold inwards.

Maybe it is because my B35 is relatively empty? I don't really want to stuff my bag full since the bag is heavy.

Goldie riding on passenger seat. If I don't mention you will probably think I am not using any insert. But in actual fact, I am using MaiTai insert.

It looks perfectly fine when I'm carrying it though.

What should I do? Am I being too critical and fussy?

From what I understand, she made the insert to HELP KEEP THE SHAPE but not be so stiff as to be able to "unslouch" an already starting to slouch bag. I think in your case, the size of the bag is the reason you're not entirely satisfied with the stiffness of the bag insert. I'm just guessing of course bc I don't have a 35.
I recently purchased her insert as well. But mine is for a B25 in swift. I'm VERY happy with the insert but keep in mind... my bag is new... and it's small so the insert really helps keep the swift standing up....
