Your insert appears to be a thicker felt. I wonder if a thinner felt would create less of a seam? I experienced the same with one of my other bags, then replaced the organizer with a thinner one and, voila!

I'm not sure I would for the Mini Evelyne, given that her inserts, though less rigid, are still quite thick?
I’m looking for a thin insert for the Arcon which is unlined and has an unusual shape and not sure who to go to 🤔
You could try WhiteFox, I got her linen one for my Mini Lindy, and it's much thinner compared to a lot of other ones. Perhaps she could do a custom order.
Thanks for sharing. Didn’t occur to me that we shouldn’t leave inserts in during storage. Did the pillow works in providing support, and will it stretch the leather?
Agree! I’ve a few of her inserts for Togo, Epsom and Clemence bags and they work so well. No indentation and they offer adequate support. Hope it works the same for swift.
Oh my! I see the problem now. The insert is shorter. I do have an Evelyne but in size 29 and the insert is longer, almost reaching the top. Didn’t give me any indentation.
Thanks dear! MaiTai, it is.

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! Glad you found it useful. Yes, I do think it helps to preserve the...

I use the 27.
Maitai left indentations on my Birkin 25 Togo and Kelly 25 Mysore Chevre after a year or so. I now take inserts out after use.
Thanks to the advice in this thread I finally invested in some inserts for my H collection.
I ordered MaiTais for my K35, B30, and K25 and a DGAZ insert for my 24/24 mini.

For my K35, I will be more comfortable filling it up and the insert should help keep the Clemence leather from getting too stretched out. But as the shape of the insert is quite square, I do see a line in the middle of the bag from the insert. Another thing is that I find the pockets too small - instead of 3 tiny pockets on each side I would have preferred two larger pockets. I also wish the insert was higher.

The same applies for my B30, although the insert distorts the bag way more than with the K when fully closed. It bothered me at first, but since I never close the bag when carrying it this is not a big deal. However, I certainly would not leave the insert in during storage for this reason.

Surprisingly, the insert for the K25 is much better - the shape is more trapezoidal and even the fabric is nicer (unfortunately MaiTai did not have the same fabric options available for each model). I do not notice the insert at all from the outside, but that could also be because the bag is more rigid than the others. The downside is that the insert is thick, so it eats up quite a lot of room inside. Without the insert I could fit my long silk'in wallet but with the insert I have to switch to a calvi.

Finally, DGAZ was the only viable option for the 24/24 mini as I hate the feeling of felt, so Samorga and the like are a no go for me. Took longer to receive it as it came from China. The material is satiny and the shape is quite square, which I thought would be visible from the outside since the bag is quite soft but actually it's OK. It seems to fill the bag up well and while I am not sure that I will use the pockets much as they don't seem very secure because of the material, overall it should do the job of protecting the inside. Just to be safe, I will keep the insert outside to prevent the square corners from leaving any indent on the bag.
