Has anyone sold their 7rp inserts? I had to let go of my bags because they were sitting unused in my closet and now I’m left with all these new inserts that I never used, I co-signed half of them with Ann’s Fabulous Finds but I’m still left with several of them in my closet. My daughter suggested I use them to store her makeup 💄but the thought of using such expensive inserts for makeup storage makes me sick.

Hi. Where does Mai Tai sell her inserts? And does it keep the structure in the corners of the Bolide? Thank you.

Thank you. I looked at hers and they are very closed at the top so opted for one on Amazon. I didn’t think she me ever had a Bolide or dome bag before bc they do open wider when unzipped.

For anyone considering a Mini Lindy insert from Amazon, I ordered a DGAZ and a KINGS IN BAG to see which would fit better. I didn’t want a felt insert because I didn’t want the bulk in such a small bag. I was surprised to find that they were identical, the only difference being the branding. They were both approximately the same price, around $45ea. DGAZ was 10% off, KIB was 20% off so I kept that. It’s not as beautiful as a MaiTai insert, but it fits well, doesn’t take up precious real estate, and serves its purpose. I would have wanted a brighter color but didn’t want to wait for a custom order.

My Bolide 30 is Epsom (my only Epsom bag) and doesn’t need structure. Larger Bolides in soft leathers like Clémence aren’t meant to be structured. I think this kind of soft insert only helps a little anyway - it’s meant to shape to the bag and not vice versa.

Warning! Do NOT buy bag pillows from "Studio on the Robee" on Etsy. I just received two pillows that do not fit the bags they are made for - at all - and the seller says they are not returnable as they are "custom made" - which they are not, as they look exactly like the gray poly pillows that DGAZ sells except 2x the price. :facepalm:

Hi! I’m so sorry as I’m sure this has been answered a dozen times … but does anyone have the answer for what is the best insert and compartment for Birkin 35’s and 30’s? I want something to protect the inside of the bag from my wallet, lipstick, sunscreen (I know) … I would appreciate it very much :) Thank you!

I found reading this thread very helpful, and would encourage everyone to go through it before deciding what’s best for them. Some very helpful comments.

I now have experience with 3 different inserts. I’d hesitate to say one’s better than the other….they are different in their style and construction as well as price.
To answer your question, I have a Mai Tai for my Togo B30. If I find myself owning another Birkin in the future (doubtful), I’d buy another Mai Tai insert. But I went a different direction for my other H bags, and no regrets.

Update: I bit the bullet and got a Evelyne TPM insert from WhiteFox as I was impressed with what a great job she did on the Mini Lindy insert.

I went with one with a zipper but no internal pockets, given how narrow the bag already was, and because I wanted some security for my commuting.

I chose Rose Cloud as I fell in love with the shade and decided I wanted a different colour insert to the Gold leather to create some contrast, and I think it worked perfectly.

Since I had continued using the Etsy insert while waiting, there is still some indentation on the bag - I’m not sure if that will ever go away, but I’m hoping that the thinner linen insert will go some way to ameliorating this. Only time will tell I guess!

Given that I chose an insert with a zipper, I decided that I would leave most of the items in the organiser loose, rather than bulking them up with superfluous pouches to categorise items.

I’ve also included some comparisons with the old insert. The linen is definitely of better construction compared to the thick felt.

I am a fan of the Whitefox inserts. Soft, not too structured, and wonderfully made. Here are some pictures of my E29 with the insert. The only thing I’ve learned is that clemence leather wants to collapse in. So any insert does raise the risk of creating creases on your leather. So I’ve opted to store my E29 without any insert.

Pic 1 - insert which beautifully follows the natural curve of the base.
Pic 2 - bag lying flat
Pic 3 - bag with insert lying flat. Note the bulging at the top. I should add when the bag is carried vertically, this bulge is less noticeable, but still present.

In summary, whitefox is great, but be aware that Clemence leather can be unforgiving with inserts.
