I know my MT B30 insert is much too long for use in my B. I actually use it in my B35. It’s about 1.5” longer than my 7RP. I’m sorry, but glad to hear your bag is straightening out. 3 days is hardly enough to permanently alter it. Hoping it snaps back fully.

Yes the MT B30 is a bit longer, but now I find the 7RP is so sturdy in width that it slightly opens the side straps (sangles) when I try to cinch them up. So I went back to the old model of MT, but i dont like the color I have and it definitely flops inward. I have so many darn inserts. I do love my MT B35 inserts very very much. Also for my K28 sellier and retourne, I use the 7RP K28 sellier and it works perfectly for both.
Do you find that your B30 slightly opens up if you know what I mean? The bag I have is togo leather.

Yes! If I use the 7RP I open the bag up almost completely so there is no pressure anywhere. If I want my bag closed tightly with the straps pulled closed, I opt for the Hermes Fourbi. It fits loosely in my B30.

Hi ladies,anyone owns 7RP insert for Kelly 25 retourne. Can it be used in Kelly 28 retourne?Is it too loose?

I wish I had read your post before I purchased the Mai Tai insert for my bag. The MaiTai insert created permanent marks on my brand new Kelly 28. I waited for almost a year to get this color :’( I contacted MaiTai but they are not welling to resolve the problem. I can’t even get a refund for the ~$140 (+ shipping) purchase. According to MaiTai, “the insert’s material is so much lighter and softer than the bag's leather, and adapts to the bag's shape by crumbling/folding inwards” and they sent me the picture of the black insert. I took pictures of the pink insert I received which I can feel and see the hard corners from outside of my bag when filled with minimum amount of items.

I was told by MaiTai that there’s nothing wrong with the insert I received. According to MaiTai, all his/her Kellys and Birkins have small bumps/dents in their side panels caused by the pressure of the interior leather pockets of these bags. She also provided the picture below. I don’t agree with MaiTai because my mom checked her vintage Kelly and she didn’t see any damages on the back of her Kelly.

Thank you for the advice. I don't usually carry more than a car key, a card holder and an iPhone 7. I haven’t been using the insert for the past 3 days and the dents/bumps already going away. I also took the bag to a reputable leather craftsman and a nearby Hermes store. The Hermes SA thinks the insert is a little too snaggle (when the bag is closed) and stiff (the review I read before I made the purchase actually stated the opposite). The SA recommended stuffing the bag with air pillows and store it side way with some soft support under the handle. The leather craftsman was very helpful, he showed me another Kelly28 MT insert from a customer, which is softer and less structured than the one I received. I’ve attached pictures of a YouTuber’s rose insert and the pink/beige insert I got. I guess “too soft” is no longer an issue for MT inserts.

Just got my 7RP insert and immediately compared it to the MT insert for Kelly28 retourne. Very different.

Wow! Those don't seem to be for the same bag! Have you measured the MT insert?

I just Ordered a MT insert for my b30 because i felt the D&C insert to be too stiff. Was really hoping the MT would be softer and not fit as tight. I’m really disheartened by these pics. Anyone with a recent MT insert for B’s know how they fit lately?

I find MT inserts too large for my B30 and B35.

I agree with TeeCee77.My MT insert is big for my B30.So I bought a 7RP insert for my B30 and find it a good fit.

I have MaiTai inserts for B35, B30, GP36, K28 retourné, and K28 sellier. They are all relatively recent and all fit perfectly. My only issue with MT inserts is getting my drycleaner to keep their shape.
I have D&C for B35, TB26, and GP36, and the D&C inserts are not as nice but do fit well. I find the D&C leaves marks in the TB, which is Swift and soft.

I think if you use your bags with the straps fully open and loose the MT is fine. I like mine pulled tighter and none of the side sticking out, so I find 7RP to fit my preference better, though much pricier.

I have mai tai inserts for k28,32,35 and b30,35. I have used them for several years. I usually keep my bags closed. I have had no issues with them leaving any marks or indentations on my bags which are in a variety of leathers.
