I agree - I had a little sticker shop when I looked at the 7RP Birkin inserts but compared to the price of the bag, I was willing to go for it. It’s been great so far in terms of protecting the inside and keeping its shape. For my Evelyne I went with one from Etsy that @themk888 recommended and it’s great so far.

I think it depends a lot on the bag/leather, but I was looking for structure without denting and 7RP works for my Clemence bags in that sense.
I have a structured GP in Negonda that I recently bought a MaiTai insert (trying again!) for because I just needed a bag liner to keep it clean and didn’t want to spend the big bucks if I didn’t need it help the bag keep shape.
Still debating what to do for my Togo B25 as the 7RP prices do make me throw up in my mouth a little every time.
Ha yep good to know thx! I have 2 b30’s; one in Togo and one in box leather. So I’m thinking of getting one that I can use in both.. maybe I will try them mai tai since I’m not really looking for structureI think it depends a lot on the bag/leather, but I was looking for structure without denting and 7RP works for my Clemence bags in that sense.

I've had Maitai inserts for both B35 and B30, they're beautifully made and a pretty good fit. I don't use the one in my B30 often as I like her looking slouchy! But when I do it does help to make her look a lot more structured and does protect the interior if I want to carry things that may scratch the inside.
For storage I'd go with a bag pillow over bubble wrap. TPF rules mean I'm not allowed to recommend the brand I would like to, but lets just say there are pillows out there that are not made with polyester (plastic) and from the reviews are a very good fit for Birkins and Kellys.
They're also hand made with natural materials unlike a lot of the others available on Ebay, Etsy etc. which seem to be frequently a variation of the same imported pillow just with a different label!

In case in one is interested, the bag pillow referenced above is "It's All about the Bag" found on Etsy. I'm not a seller, just a happy customer... I got two when I lived in the EU.

They also have their own website now Help! For those of you who live in the EU, what organisers are you using for your Garden Party 36? I have the all-leather in Negonda and have read that I should look for something stiffer to hold the bag’s shape but all the options I see here are in the US
I don't have a GP and I'm not sure how stiff you are looking for, but Mai Tai are made in France, have organisers for the GP and certainly help with structure, but in a softer way. A too structured insert can leave indentations in a softer bag, so that might be better than something that could create those little bumps where the top edge of the organiser finishes over time.
Hello Everyone!
I have just got my Mini Kelly II Sellier. Any recommendations for which brand bag insert? Or do anyone not using a bag insert for this bag?

I have read so many pages of this thread - can someone help me with a question? What is everyone talking about when they say the bag inserts are leaving “dents” or “marking the bag?” I am about to bring home my first beauty and am now freaked out with all the dent talk 🙄.
PS
Planning on a mai tai because it seems a consensus favorite - for a K25 sellier - not actually jazzed about the colors/patterns though. Do they change often or it is what it is?

For me it means the insert pushes against the leather due to improper fit/material, thus leaving a 'mark/fold/dent'. Congrats on your new bag!
All my Clemence leather bags get dents from bag inserts, but if you have a bag in Epsom leather, I think you don't have to worry about dents in general. I use an insert from Mai Tai for my K28 in Togo (retoune), which does not leave dents. If I am wrong, someone, please correct me!
Congrats on your K25!
