My 32K D&C insert with flexible ends in color red. D&C weights approx 7oz (almost 1/2 lb) compares to MaiTai insert B30 only 4oz.

Very nice looking and well made D&C insert for more structure use. Pockets are more sturdy, good for organizing if you carry lots of small items. Size is slightly smaller so it fits well inside the K32. It comes with a plastic liner in case of spillage.

I will report back when I receive the MaiTai insert for K32.

Thanks for the picture! Your D&C pockets look more roomy than mine! I think that's better! Your insert looks perfect in your K! [emoji7]

I'm looking for a bag insert for my Etoupe B30 Togo [emoji169] After reading all the posts in the thread (thank you everyone for your contributions [emoji120]), I think the Mai Tai one is the best out of all in terms of easy to get a hold of, seems to be lightweight and helps hold the bag shape a little. But I have the following concerns, was wondering if anyone with user experience of the Mai Tai insert can help:

1) What is the material of the insert? I don't think I could find it on the site [emoji85]

2) Had anyone experience color transfer? Would their natural colored one be the best choice? Anyone own it in natural that can share thoughts? [emoji15]

It's my first B so I would really want to avoid any risk [emoji85]

Hello! My MaiTai insert for my Kelly 32 Iris is in lilac and for the Bolide 31 Gold, I ordered the beige one. Both are made of linen. No color transfer. Well-made though a bit soft thus won't leave your bag structured.

I have a D&C insert in light blue with chevron pockets for my TB26. It's stiffer, made of canvas material, no color transfer too.

MaiTai is easier to talk to and ships internationally. Even asked if she can upload my Kelly with the insert in her website, though have yet to see if it's there. Connie of D&C is straight forward, not flexible, and doesn't ship internationally. When I ordered the insert for my TB26 from her I specified the size of the pockets but now she won't do it anymore. I wanted to order a spare on for my TB26 and for Evies too but it seems that she's not anymore as flexible as she used to. It's just order from her site on Etsy, choose the colors, pay thru PayPal or credit card. Though she left a note along with my insert that says: happy organizing!

Thank you for letting me share my thoughts Nyetnof! Hope I was able to help.

Hi xtnxtnxtn [emoji5]️ thank you so much for your thoughts! It certainly helps me a lot. So far I can only think of getting the MaiTai one, because DC doesn't ship to where I live. Although at the same time I'm a bit skeptical about the MaiTai one for 2 reasons so far.. [emoji52]

1) I wanted to get one that would fit my B30 now and potentially when I get a K28 Sellier even though I might be able to use it with my Herbag 31 now if I got it. Unfortunately it seems like MaiTai don't do K28 size insert yet.. (Yes maybe I'm thinking too far 🙄)

2) the B30 ones, she doesn't do it in natural or the light grey.. I'm just not too sure about the 4 colors available as they are quite dark

Sigh [emoji15] maybe I needa do more research before deciding which one to get [emoji51]

The SM at my local H store actually recommended an insert found at Container Store. Has anyone tried these inserts recently?

That is the one that I purchased and it is working out great. My only concern at this point is color transfer to my lighter colored items. I am less concerned about the outside but more the inner lining. I aggressively rubbed some white toilet paper against and it may have shown an ever so slightly pink, but I will do it again. It appears that they are sold out now since they clearanced them for $6.24 [emoji15].

The insert is very convenient to transfer from bag to bag.

If you read back on this thread, there are lots of posts regarding D&C.
I have one for my Evie and love it ! It's very well made and used to be customisable, but that may not be the case anymore. At any rate, they are totally awesome.

Divide and Conquer Evie insert with custome pockets, fully packed.
Silk'in compact, Ulysse Pm, Bastia and Evelyne Cardholder. Pen, Lipstick, hand lotion and phone (goes into the empty slot) and an Envirosac, in case of rain. I have a tiny pouch at the bottom for a few emergency supplies . Umbrella goes on top :)
Love how everything is easy to grab out when needed ❤️

Your evie is so neat and organized! I was wondering though from the H perforations if you can see the liner color and would you suggest a liner that blends or contrasts? Do you have a photo of yours from the front? Thanks!

Update on my D&C: I've been using it for over a month now, and it's really helping to keep my B35 structured. It does add some weight to the bag, however. My B looks as great as the day I brought her home in October.

I went with Silvergrey , as it matches the Hardware, is light ( easier to find things in light bag insides ) and neutral. It would bother me if the red, wasn't the perfect match ( f.example). Will post pics in a sec.

I am reporting back that MaiTai insert for K32 weighing about the same as B30 approx 4oz. Where as the K32 D&C insert approx 7oz. My personal preference is using MaiTai for Birkin and D&C for Kelly as D&C is a bit heavier but since I can carry my Kelly using shoulder strap thus I have no issue with added weight of the bag insert. HTH

Yes Nyetnof. I did a little research for my tb too though not for the MaiTai inserts. Haven't used them yet but they're soft unlike those from D&C that are stiff and keeps the bags structured. You know what you can do? Find a courier company in the states that ships to your country. Have D&C ship it there. Like LBC and Johnny Air ships to the Philippines. Try FedEx dear if you really want the D&C insert. Good luck dear!
