Hi everyone! First time owner of an Hermes bag - I got a Picotin 18 today! :)
Could anyone please recommend me a nice, reasonably-priced insert (not 7rp) and a pillow for the Picotin 18 as well?

I mentioned inserts to my SA and she said that it shouldn’t be necessary since the bag naturally keeps its shape, but it seems that everyone online is saying the opposite.

I would recommend the one from Samorga. I have one for both of mine (Barenia Faubourg leather), and my SA was so impressed with how the shape is still perfect. I don't need any pillows in mine, but if yours is in Clemence you might want it.

Attached is with and without Samorga insert.

Beautiful color! Cool, thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look into Samorga - the material seems thin though, do you think it holds up the bag shape enough?

Also, was the crease at the bottom left prior to getting an insert?

Thank you! It depends, what kind of leather do you have? If you have Clemence you should check with others on the forum that has that.

The picture without the insert is the day I received the bag from the store. The crease was always there.

Attached is my second Picotin in Barenia Ebene with Samorga insert, as well.

Wow I love that dark chocolate color! Thanks for sharing - helpful as a reference :)
Yep I have Clemence, hopefully someone who has the same material can get back to me

I recently purchased a GP30 and had luck previously with Zoomoni on non-H bags and thought “it’s not a Birkin” so I ordered the Zoomoni. It was too wide and very tall when it arrived and I was concerned with possible stretch especially at the base. I ended up ordering the 7rp anyway. Just thought I’d share because the 7rp for the GP I think is relatively new offering for them. It is a perfect fit and honestly superior.

Really happy with the maitai insert for my bolide 31. Use it as liner primarily to protect the inner leather. The side pockets don't hold more than a lipstick or an LV key pouch, so you have to tetris your small things in the center. It's not much of an organizer, but as a liner that doesn't create bumps in the leather, it's great. I store it upright with the insert inside. I do wish it had a divider in the center for better organization.

Hi there! I got mine from MaiTai. Have only owned the Picotin for a few months so not sure if an insert is really necessary to keep its shape, but I wanted to keep the interior clean and also to have a few small pockets to hold items like lipstick/eye drops instead of having everything in the one large compartment of the bag. Don't have a pillow but the MaiTai insert came with a paper ball stuffed in it, so that's how I store my bag. Hope that helps! :)

Hi all,

I truly love my 7rp inserts, far more than Samorga/Mai Tai, for my Birkin and Kelly bags. But I cannot seem to find a fabulous quality insert for my SO Kelly Pochette. Can some of the O.G.'s on here please recommend the best option. Quality and fit is my top priority. Thank you in advance!

Guys, I am in love! I’m so glad that I trawled through this thread for recommendations before going with the MaiTai insert for my Birkin 35. I ordered it on Tuesday and it arrived this morning, to my delight! It came beautifully packaged with its own dustbag and stuffing…

It took me a while to decide on the right one, but I eventually decided on the Liberty Far Away B35 Tana Lawn cotton insert!

What sealed the deal for me picking the Liberty one over the other fabrics was that the entire insert was made from the same fabric so you can see the beautiful pattern in all its glory, as compared to the other special fabrics, where they only show up on the pockets. I don’t know if I’m making much sense, but there you go… Also, considering how much 7RP charges for their insert in the same Liberty fabrics, the MaiTai one is a veritable bargain!

I think the colour goes beautifully with my Vert Cyprès B35!

It fits it perfectly inside, and it does help preserve the structure without being too harsh on the leather, compared to some of the rigid felt ones I’ve seen.

I now have a full complement of products to keep my favourite bag in shape haha.

This is an amazing review! Thank you! I just got a birkin 35 and am worried about the slouch- does this prevent the slouch? I can see yours is holding up its shape really well. What leather do you have? Mine is togo.

Thanks!
