Bag Inserts List: New Updates post #4,032

[mygoodies]

I was looking for an affordable bag insert for my Togo B30. So I ordered the Red Emma 28 insert from Cloversac.
http://www.cloversac.com/product/purse-organizer-insert-emma-28-red/

They're based in Singapore and shipped worldwide. So I thought I share it here for those who are still looking for one

It took about 2 weeks before I received it (I live in Europe). Overall I'm very happy with the quality and the base shaper. I don't use the smaller side structured cards as I like the sides as is. It definitely gives my bag the structured look which I like. I don't like when my bags slouch. My bag is still brand new so I can't comment on how it will be after a period of time. But the insert does look well made and sturdy! So hopefully my B30 will retain its shape!! Here are some pics I took earlier today. HTH!








And here's how the front looks like with the insert inside:

Oh really ? I guess we trouble Connie too much and now she got fed up
Yes, please show me the soft sided D&C for the Evie when you get it. I need one, the hard top/ indentation stresses me. What are the pockets like in the standard Evie insert ?

Cool! I like the fact that it has the middle compartments for bulky things. Not everything has to go in the side pockets. I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mr. Lee!!! Yes, I ordered Samorga inserts for my Celine micro and trapeze. I used the one for the trapeze whenever I use my Lindy34, kept my stuff organized, the bag is less slouchy which is not how it's supposed to be, and very heavy!! I was on a trip to Japan when I used it! Had to take the insert off bec my shoulders and arms are literally begging me to. Lol!

Anyway, blueboxes. The D&C insert with flexible ends is for my TB26. Have yet to order one for my Evie. I'll take a picture of my insert and post it soon. Btw, Connie of D&C is getting hard to deal with. She used to be flexible. Not anymore. She'll sent me a link of another insert maker when I asked her to customize pockets for the insert I want to order for my Evie?! Well, whatever it is, guess we'll just have to deal with it. We need the inserts for our babies. Haha!!

Me too, when I asked her to customised the size, she didn't seven send me a link, she asked myself to look up for other seller. Sad that I don't have a chance to buy one form D&C.

Thank youuu dearie[emoji253][emoji253] I'm still over the moon!

I definitely recommend the Emma 28 for yr gorgeous B30. The 20 would be too short imo. The 28 fits snugly up till the sides of the bag. I've been using it the past week and very happy with it. Its very light and the removable middle compartment is perfect for the bulky stuff such as my sunglasses case, keys etc. the things that I don't want to put on the side parts since I don't want those things leave an indentation on the bag after a period of time. I just like to keep my bag as structured for as long as possible

Downside is that Cloversac only has 2 color choices, red or beige. But I wanted a red anyway so it was perfect for me

So does it mean that we should order 1 size smaller than the bag from D&C?.. :worthy:

Sorry for the late response; I missed the notification!
I think if you have a sellier Kelly, it's probably a safe bet to get 1 size smaller (e.g. 28 for 32cm), but otherwise Connie's listed dimensions should be right for retourne. In my experience her inserts are usually a smidge smaller than the bag.

Anyone have the D&C insert for a K28? I searched the thread and haven't seen specific reviews on it. From her measurements I am concerned that it'll be difficult to close the bag (I keep my Kellys closed and strapped most of the time).
FWIW, I have the MaiTai insert for the B35 and like many others, I find it pretty but useless - it flops over on itself. It seems that it will only work if there are a lot of things in it. It is also difficult to close the B. The craftswoman at my local boutique really did NOT like the insert because of this

Not sure if you are still considering it, but the K28 insert didn't make it hard to close (I got it with flexible ends). I'd take a picture for you but right now the Kelly is with my mother If you want I can measure my insert for you? In my experience the insert can be a little off from her dimensions -- once it was 1cm more in the depth and was actually better because it was a tighter fit and didn't shift around. My concern ended up being the dent it sometimes makes along the top edge, so I stopped storing the bag with the insert and went back to air packets.

Me too, when I asked her to customised the size, she didn't seven send me a link, she asked myself to look up for other seller. Sad that I don't have a chance to buy one form D&C.

Yeah I have the same experience -- I used to able to ask her to change the pockets/insert dimensions (very politely!) and the last time I asked about a year ago she just told me to look elsewhere. I noticed that now it's in her store info that she no longer takes custom requests. It's unfortunate because I really liked her inserts (and miss her friendliness).

This thread has been very helpful. I bought a D&C for my B35 and didn't love it. I find the pockets too constricting and there's a lot of space in the middle where things just get jumbled up.

I was going to buy a fourbi or a maitai insert for my B30 but then decided to see what I could find in a store rather than ordering something I may not love online. Surprisingly, the Container Store has these in.bag inserts that went on sale for about $12.50 (regular price ~$25) so I decided to try it.

I have to say that I have been very pleased with it. There is some rigidity so it doesn't flop over and it fits perfect in my B30. The side pockets are larger and more accommodating than the D&C. There are also pockets on the outside and a zipper for expansion of needed. I wish the colors were better but for $12.50 and how useful it is, can't go wrong!

I even transfer it to use in my B35 and my LV neverfull. When it wasn't so full it also fit in my K32, but I haven't tried to put it back in there yet. It's worth checking out!

Wow that looks really nice, I'm going to check this out, thanks for sharing.

I have the same issues with most inserts in the market. Thanks for sharing this one. I'll stop by the container store to check it out.

One thing to comment here is that I would prefer a beige color for an insert as it is also prone to color transfer inside your bag. I once had a black insert that transferred color to my wallet and a pocket perfume leather case.

That is a good point. I wonder if the color transfer concern depends on the material or dye itself or both?

That is a good point. I wonder if the color transfer concern depends on the material or dye itself or both?

As I work in a test lab, let me give a simple explanation when it comes to color transfer.

1. Color : The darker the color like black, the easier for it transfer so as much as possible avoid buying black purse insert. If you must own a black purse insert. Check the color fastness as black color transfer most easily.

2. Material : Some material can hold dye better than others. Generally plastic or synthetic material such as polyester or nylon can hold the dye much better as it is plastic however within polyester, they can be graded from 1 to 5 as well with 5 having no color transfer at all.

3. Dye method: The dye method also play a factor but it is too technical so I will not go into detail.

Color transfer can be due to washing, rubbing etc. For purse insert, we normally look at rubbing as the external of your purse insert will keep rubbing the interior of your handbag.

You can conduct color transfer test at home yourself.

A simple test that you can conduct at home is to use a white sock and rub vigorously onto the surface of the purse insert. I took these pictures below previously while testing for color fastness of a red fabric. If you find color transfer onto the white sock, this mean the material has possibility of color transfer. As you can see from the picture , there is a slight red stain on the sock.

Thank you for that great explanation! I will test it out and see what happens!

I wonder if this is a concern with the maitai inserts since they also come in a variety f colors......

Tinklemd: I don't have any color transfer issue with MaiTai Taupe color insert. I just ordered the dark grey insert for my K32, I will report back....

Has anyone has any color transfer issue with D&C insert? I ordered one too for my K32, yes I am ordering two inserts for the same bag...
