Bag Inserts List: New Updates post #4,032

[DrTr]

Thank you for the explanation! The bag I need the insert for is basically a puddle without insert and content and falls over on the ground… so the Joy in bag sounds good for my purposes. But I’ll see if I can find YT videos for Divide and Conquer. Will report back if I order.

I have a MaiTai too, but the wide sides with the 2-3 pockets are now caving in when I put my phone or even just my key holder in it. It’s been a year or two since I bought it.

Here are some photos of D&C inserts. Felt inserts from Samorga or Joy or Zoomoni don’t provide as much structure as these do in my bags. I ordered the cream one for a clemence Victoria 35 and it keeps the bag fairly structured. The pink one is custom for my kelly 28 retourne but I prefer MaiTai’s gorgeous fabric inserts for my K and my B. I dk if you can tell from the photo, but the bottom is some kind of plastic insert on the inside of the organizer to keep any marks or gads! spills from getting through and it stands easily. She also flexs the ends of the inserts so they don’t push out on the bag. She’s thought of everything.

Connie will also custom make a size and walk you through inside bag measurements, she really is a wonder! I’ve never had any color transfer issues, and she has listings in her shop for common bags. She has multiple colors to choose from too. You can also add handles for easy transfer, a key fob that shows on my cream one, or a water bottle loop. The inserts dont take up much bag space. I also find her pockets very useful in different sizes so they truly organize more easily than MaiTai’s. I wish MTwould leave at least one side not sewn in the middle pocket so my phone would fit but I love everything else about her gorgeous fabrics and impeccable sewing. HTH!

PS I think her inserts averaged $50-$70 US. Only bad thing is she doesnt Ship internationally, only in US.

Just received my insert from MaiTai for my K28 Sellier… very happy with the craftsmanship, it’s such a beautiful insert and I’m so glad I decided to get it! I kept going back and forth over the different options for about a week, and my husband finally decided to get this since even he said it looked much nicer than the others I was looking at. It took about 2 weeks to arrive to the West coast, which isn’t bad. I’m finally ready to remove the stickers and start wearing Miss K now!

I’ve posted photos for those interested in how the size compares to the bag itself: It is a little smaller, and there is a bit of space if I shove it to one side once inside the bag, but due to the style being Sellier and folding in, I see why it needs to be a bit smaller. If you do need a more structured insert with more pockets, this may not be the best option. I plan on using my felt divider from my other inserts inside, which should do the trick for me.

Hope this helps!

Thank you! Didn’t have them on my radar yet. Did you have the opportunity to compare them to Samorga?

sorry I don’t have Samorga insert because most reviews I read years before were not recommended it, and I don’t like the material.

Your Kelly is lovely and that insert looks just beautiful in it! have fun removing the stickers and venturing out in the world with her! I use MT inserts in my K and B’s and my Bolide as most of them are structured enough not to need more support than MT. Later today (up WAY too early with my pup - she’s NOT in favor of the time change so let’s get up at 4:30 am ) I will try to take a fam shot of different MT inserts for anyone interested. I tend to think of MT as more a soft slightly structured bag insert than an organizer but like the soft fabric especially in my leather lined H.

Glad your dear H ordered for you, but it is important to protect care for and use our bags the way we wish. Taking a week to decide is nothing. Except of course if it delays your bag from being worn. Glad you are happy with it. And DH is right, it’s much nicer, better fabric more meticulously made than others, it just doesn’t provide enough structure from droopy bags for those that want. Your K is now perfect!

Thank you for your kind words! I’m so excited to finally get to use her! The lack of “organizational” functionality doesn’t bother me at all, it’s such a pretty insert and I can’t wait for more bags and more inserts from MT lol… I purchased an inexpensive felt insert a few years ago and it came with a detachable 3 compartment divider. I just put it in my other inserts and it works perfectly!!!

Does anyone have both 7RP k25 retourne and sellier inserts? Is there a noticeable difference in size between the two? I know the retourne is technically smaller, but when I tried my k25 sellier insert in my k25 retourne it didn’t seem to bulge, so curious if I really “need” both. TIA!

I took some pictures of some inserts I have. I forgot my MaiTai bolide insert but it’s similar to her others, just more specific to the bolide shape. Hers are my favorite for my H bags with the exception of my clemence Victoria 35 that tends to slouch, I use a D&C for that as a shaper and as an organizer. The large here is the JPG fabric for my Victoria, the smaller are for my Birkins. I love the fabric on all of them even though they each are a bit different. MT ships her inserts with acid free tissue to stuff them and a lovely grey dust bag. As others have said, I use hers as inner bag protection and a soft shaper rather than an organizer. I will show a few more in my next post. These all fit perfectly in the bags they are made for.

Here is a purple Samorga 2mm felt I purchased for a smaller bag and I really just wanted a bag liner. I’ve started buying 1.2 mm felt for very small bags just to protect the inside as organization isn’t needed and less felt is better in small bags. The small fuschia is one for my CHANEL Boy from Zoomoni. (I had ordered a boy insert from Samorga, but they sent the wrong size, and argued with me back and forth over email 4 times, didn’t make it right, so I finally gave up, use it in my WOC as it was way too small from my Boy and have left Samorga behind for good). Zoomoni now has a 1.2 mm felt and they left a pocket out for me as a custom order for my Boy and it’s great. I don’t prefer felt inserts but they work well in small bags.

Hope this helps anyone looking for good inserts. I’m a bag, pochette, insert, pouch in pouch woman

You are not alone, except I use whitefox for bag liners.

Can I ask where do you all get bag pillows for your birkin and Kellys?

I've gotten pillows from Fabrinique on Etsy. Great quality and fast shipping. (https://www.etsy.com/shop/Fabrinique2)

Retournes are actually bigger, so a sellier insert should fit fine in a retourne, but possibly not the other way around.

Hello! What does anyone recommend for an insert for Halzan 25 evercolor gris Meyer.

I’ve seen samorga, xoppia, xtugo and zoomoni in an online search.

Thanks so much! Xtugo maybe seems the nicest?

Edited to add has anyone ordered on white fox in the live master website which seems a little confusing

Thank you!

I have a MaiTai insert for my Halzan 31 and am very happy with it. I bought the one that she makes for the Evelyn 29 and it fits perfectly. Maybe you could email her to see if she has one to fit the 25 if you are interested.
