I do think it looks empty, not slouchy... and
I think it looks awesome worn!!! In your case, maybe you need a stiffer, taller inert?

This is awesome!! I love the idea that you make them bicolor!!!! do you have a website??? If so, send me a PM!
Wow! GREAT review!! Thx for the pics! I think I'll bight the bullet and get the 7rP for my chevre SO B30. You're the best thanks again!Just wanted to add some thoughts to this thread on my recent insert purchases. I received my SO Swift Birkin 30 at the end last month and knew I would want an insert for it, she had a little slouch right out of the box which I don't mind but I don't want her super floppy. I have the new version of Mai Tai in my B35 and while I still think the pockets are pretty useless, it doesn't fold over anymore so to me it's more of a liner but it's sufficient. I have 7rP for a 32 Kelly Sellier and a 35 Kelly Retourne and the fit is perfect but we all know, the price is not so friendly.
I started by ordering the Mai Tai, friendlier price point, new design and I hoped it would be fine. It is not good for slouchy, very soft leather. It's too long for the bag, I had felt this way about her old model in my K35. It pushed the sides out even though it has no rigid elements to it. I was bummed but I'm going to give it to a friend with a more rigid leather and see if she likes it.
Then I ordered 7rP in Khaki. I love the color, it's a great green. The fit is excellent so while the price kills me a little, you can see it makes the bag stand up gently without any bulges. I normally store my bags with their liners in them but I won't be doing that for this one. I'm almost finished renovating my master bed/bath and I had a cabinet built for my bags where they can all rest on their backs. I find that is best for keeping them in shape. If only I could get in shape lying down
Photos are labeled for which insert is inside them.

I think your bag looks great. MaiTai makes her inserts specifically not to mark or press the bag's interior. A B35 in Swift, Togo, or Clemence is going to be relaxed - if you want it completely straight, as IF says, you will need a taller, more stiff insert.
Personally I like the B35 a little soft so it is easier to carry over the shoulder
Thanks @Israeli_Flava and @QuelleFromage for your feedback.
Frankly I do not know what I want exactly (omg). I definitely do not want my B35 to be stiff like a tower. I agree a B35 should have some slouch (tho there is no way I can carry it over the shoulder). But as I place my bag behind my table in the office, if the liner is not strong enough to support the bag, I'm afraid the construction of the bag will slouch even faster.
Now that 7RP has a discount code, I wonder if I shd just bite the bullet and order it.

7RP has a €25 off discount code for Mother's Day. Code is MOTHERSDAY2017.
I got my 7RP insert a couple weeks ago and like it so far. It had a faint smell when I first got it but it's gone now. I wish I got a different color because my BZ Kelly and blue insert clash. It's ok because no one sees the interior but me. I ordered the color without much thought so that's on me. Too bad they don't have a feature on their website where they digitally show what the color of the insert will look like in your color Hermes bag.
A big Happy Mother's Day to all the moms on tpf!

You can also check out Divide and Conquer in Etsy if you would like some shape. I have both maitai and divide and conquer. I use the d&c for my swift toolbox since I want it to keep its shape. Get the one with flexible ends so that it doesn't dent your purse. I use maitai for my bags that I only want interior protection.
I recently received the 7RP insert for my Chèvre K35. I have the Mai Tai old & new versions for the bag also. Since Chèvre can slouch, I decided to try the 7RP insert from Mrs. Owen's recommendation a few posts earlier. I find there is a difference in the appearance of the bag. Subtle but definitely more structured (Thanks Mrs O[emoji8]). I know 7RP is more expensive than the Mai Tai inserts. My reasoning to buy the 7RP is the bag is expensive & not to compromise on something functional that may have a positive effect.
I bought a Togo B30 a few weeks ago. Since I need an insert (I'm obsessive about certain things), I decided to buy a Mai Tai for that bag. It is new & I do not feel the need for added structure yet

Thank you my dear! I am thinking to put it on Etsy! LOL!
Quick question for those of you who have the 7RP insert and a B30 - I've seen a ton of photos of the insert in the bag, but in all cases, it looks like people fill up the side pockets of the insert (along the gussets) with stuff so the birkin would likely not close. I likely wont be carrying as much (and frankly want the bag to have a triangle shaped side profile, rather than rectangular, but without the front and back caving in). Are the sides of the 7RP insert soft / would they fold easily if I tried to close the birkin?
I just got a 7RP for my new B, and I love it. There should not be any issue with closing B with the insert in (fyi, the insert is triangle-shaped). The insert is far more malleable than the airbags my B came with, and I have no issue closing her up with those stuffed back in

Good to know that it's triangular and malleable, since in the photos, it looks very square on the ends.
I currently stick with my tried and true Chameleon insert because it's inexpensive enough to buy sight unseen (and easy to return or exchange). I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try out an expensive or custom made insert purchased online. But the nice thing about this thread is that one can piece together a lot of good information to help with one's online purchase. I'm tempted by the 7RP if there is one that fits a 32cm HAC.
They've got one for a HAC 32! I just spotted it on their site--must be new, as I don't remember seeing it before. You can still take advantage of the mother's day code if you want one (MOTHERSDAY2017)
If you haven't seen it yet, here's a review from featherfactor that I found helpful in deciding which insert to get: http://www.featherfactor.com/2016/08/review-hermes-bag-inserts.html
Although hers is for a kelly, you can see from the pics that the insert narrows in at the top.
