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 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.
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.
great info thank u!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!

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!
Thank youIn 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
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.
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!
This thing is so tiny, with an insert you wont have room for anything else + it’s tiny and rigid so it wont loose shape overtime
All my bags are retourne and Inserts dont leave dents on them even if I store them with insert in + stuffing !Hihi, thanks for replying 😊This thing is so tiny, with an insert you wont have room for anything else + it’s tiny and rigid so it wont loose shape overtime
