Very happy with my Senamon inserts! My Herbag 31 insert just arrived today, fits perfectly and the bottom doesn’t sag. Shipping to US is pretty fast from Turkey, I ordered it early last week.

Just received my Mintra faux suede (Light Brown) B35 insert. Here a before and after (in reverse - clearly right is before, color of insert IRL is closer to the left photo).

I've been using a D&C and I prefer the faux suede fabric of this one substantially more. It definitely gives the insert a more premium vibe. What I like less about this is that it is a rather soft insert - I thought it would be slight more firm; to be fair, though, it doesn't flop over. I know a lot of followers of this thread prefer a softer insert in order not to leave marks on the bag. This one won't. However, I prefer something a bit more structured/firm. Also, I took the plastic bottom protector out of my D&C and put it into this one (the fit is nearly identical) to give the insert a bit more structure on the bottom (see right photo). You can DIY by taking any thin plastic and cutting it to size. Protects the bottom and gives the insert more structure. The fit is loose so the bag has space on both sides of the insert and can easily close. I enjoy the outside pockets as well as those on the inside however - as you can see in the left photo - they are rather shallow/tight so it they have a harder time with round containers (in this case, hand gels). This may be a plus as they may stretch out over time. The D&C pockets were a bit bigger but likely too big as items could fall out of the pockets.

All in all, absolutely good value for price (around €50 for the B35 version). I will need to see how it does over time. The D&C has been used for 8!!! years and is still going strong. I did consider the MaiTai (and still would) but she didn't have the color options I was looking for. And, as always, I find the 7RP a gorgeous insert and likely it hits the sweet spot as it appears to be more structured on the sides, and is in the fabric I prefer most, but pricing is just not something I find viable for an insert. Even their original prices at ca. €250 (ie half of the current price) were on the far high end compared to other inserts. I may have considered one at 1/2 the current price but this is a very personal choice/opinion.

Can you please post a photo of your birkin closed with this organizer filled the way you have it? some organizers fill the interior so much they bulge and push when filled with stuff, and worse to close them. Thanks!

Here you go, front and back. It doesn't bulge/push. Bag itself is well used and 8 years old so leather has softened. You may notice a dent like line on the back photo but this is because the zip pocket of the bag itself has a hard case in it. If I take it out, you see nothing (obviously). The one thing with any filled bag is that when it is tightened/closed, insert or not, you'll likely see things like that if they are hard (note: the case just fits into the pocket so it literally cannot move; if it were smaller, you wouldn't see it). Because of the fit of the case in the pocket, I see this case whether or not I have an insert in the bag. Just wanted to give you a fair assessment.

Hi all,

Does anyone has pictures of Mai tai insert in their Kelly retourne? Their inserts are highly raved but looks a tat bulky/puffy.
Do they take up much space in the bag?
Do you store your bag with the insert? Will it leave any marks, or is it preferred to remove the insert when not in use?

Sorry for the multiple questions but will like to be sure before making the purchase.

Thanks a lot!
 
Evelyne TPM insert from Senamon. Shipping from Turkey to the US only took a week. Great quality, perfect fit!

I think it is recommended to take out the insert when not in use but, I don't take it out. I leave it in there empty. I have Kelly 28/25 retourne and I have maitai inserts on both and I just leave them in there and no marks or dents. I store my bags standing up.

Does the insert takes up a lot of space in the bag due to the puffiness? Thank you

I can try to take some photos (although I believe there are some already in the thread). I find the inserts don't take up much room even in a Kelly 25. They are quilted but not very thick.
I do take out the inserts when I put the bag away, and use a bag pillow, but I don't think the inserts would hurt if left in. They're very soft, one of the reasons I still use MaiTai.
I have MaiTai inserts for my Birkins, Kellys, and Garden Partys. I think I have about eight or nine inserts, and am about to buy another as I want a print one for my Barenia Birkin (now that we are leaving the house again!).
