Bag Inserts List: New Updates post #4,032

[tonkamama]

It depends on the current shape of your Kelly. The newer edition of MaiTai inserts definitely aren’t “liner”, I have one for each of my quota bags and very please with the quality and pricing For shaper, I just keep the insert inside my Clemence Kelly while storing and it gives enough support

Thanks for the suggestion! I’m very keen to try them out

My 7RP came from my Evelyne. I would not normally spend so much on an insert for an Evelyne but I needed a good colour match due to the perforation holes and it wasn’t available through Mai Tai. I am very happy with it. My most recent bag insert purchases have been 7RP and Mai Tai. I like them both much better than Samorga - IMHO better quality, functionality and construction.

Would love to see a picture of the 7rp inside your Evelyne, if it's not too much trouble

Thank you so much! This is super helpful. I wondered whether the old and newer versions were different since the website photos show how it’s more structured but the older reviews say they are more like liners.
At their price point I’m definitely gonna give MaiTai a try

Also, has anyone tried their regular post option? Or would it be best to pay for EMS? How long has shipping taken for you guys? Thanks again!

My latest purchase with regular post which took about 3 weeks due to current situation.

I received 2 inserts from Mai Tai via regular post last week. To Germany it took only a few days from ordering to receiving them. They look beautiful and I am eager to try them out.

Thanks! That sounds good, I’m happy to wait.

Amazing! Show us some photos? Shipping is fast within the EU I guess. Unfortunately I’m all the way down under haha...can’t wait till we can all travel again.

Hopefully I can take some on the weekend

Might be a dumb question since it's already so tiny but anyone know if inserts for the Mini K exist? And if so, any brands you recommend? Mine is sinking a little on one side and want to prevent further shape loss

I had one made for mine. I love WhiteFox Bags on etsy. She’s made a few others for my harder bags and they are great. I fear they are more of a liner and may not have the stiffness you are looking for.

I cannot imagine side sinking on a mini K (Sellier)? perhaps you can start a thread asking opinions on the sinking issue?

I think all you need is a well custom made bag liner (with pockets) for your mini K to protect the interior. I 2nd whitefox, Julia is easy to work with, I had one made for my KC and Constance. I haven’t received them yet due to flights got cancelled in Russia. I will report back once I received the inserts.

I had the exact one made for my MC also!! Julia is amazing. I’m also waiting on a set for my Evie TPM and Mini Lindy!

Thank you so much to the both of you! I'll definitely reach out and see if she can have something made for mine.

It's not "sinking" per se (I'm just dramatic, lol,) it's more like creasing down the vertical middle of the left side, though I don't know what's causing it since the bag is otherwise so structured. You can kind of see it in the below photo (where my hand is) and this is with the bag aleady stuffed to support it from the inside! So weird... but not happy about it, so want to see what I can do to alleviate ASAP.

Oh that is interesting, I see it. I store my mini K with the straps undone. Mine is particularly “full” so it’s quite a chore to do the straps closed. Any chance you think that may be contributing? Definitely give an insert a try!

I store mine fully stuffed with the straps done and the included felt protection, but for some reason, those creases still happened. Really not sure. But fingers crossed the insert helps!

Hello! Newbie here. I just purchased my first Kelly 32 in gulliver leather. I apologize if this was already answered (I tried going through the 200+ page thread as much as possible), but due to the softness and age of the leather, the bag has started to lose its shape in the back. I just purchased a bag pillow from bag-a-vie to keep the bag shape when not in use, but will need a structured insert while I use it. Someone recommended Samorga, and I have also read about 7 RP and Divide and Conquer providing good structure.

I don't want to ruin the bag, and possibly crease it from the insert, but at the same time I am a little shell shocked to spend 450 euro on a 7 RP insert. Any recommendations here would be greatly appreciated. I am attaching photos of the bag and loss of shape. Thank you for reading!!
