Wow! This doesn’t seem normal, especially on a stiff leather like epsom. Did they possibly make it a tad too large? I only have 7rp inserts for my sellier kelly 28 and 32, chèvre and barenia, and they are perfect with no pressure points. I think my friend has one in a swift Birkin with no problems either. Has this happened to others? Maybe because it’s handmade?My apologies, ladies, for the delayed reply (somehow I completely missed your posts!)
This is my B30 with the insert. Not ideal at all. However, the customer service has been exceptional from 7RP.
I have been looking for other options for my B30 and narrowed it down to D&C. Howeve, can’t see many photos of it here as I’m struggling to judge if the B30 insert tapers towards the top at all. I decided against MaiTai as the insert all’s are very thick and I don’t like that.

Not sure what went wrong there, but it seems to me that the tapering of the insert towards the top needed to be greater. Also the corners needed to be less pointy and stiff. But then again, I only have one B and can’t try it in another bag, so maybe it’s just the way my bag was made.

Thank you for sharing! Yes I agree with @dharma i have 3 inserts from 7RP (Birkin & Kelly) and no problems either, same with my friends too. I’m sure if you reach out to them they will try resolve this for you. My Birkin insert tapers in really well and the corners are structured but definitely not stiff.
On a different note can I ask with your Epsom it looks very nice and stiff and leather looks smooth and even. Is the back of your Black Birkin nice and flush too? My 1 year old blue Epsom Birkin looks a little lumpy, is that normal? Not even sure I am describing it correctly. This is the 1st time I’ve bought a Birkin in Epsom, normally I just stick to Togo.
Customer service at 7RP was exceptional as I also bought a K insert and had a similar issue with it (although not as extreme as the B insert), so ended up returning both. These inserts were beautifully made and very nice to touch, but I was concerned it will dent my bags in the long run since I could see the corners protruding on both bags.
Not sure I can understand what sort of lumps are you referring to. Could you post a photo?
Has anyone tried the 7RP insert for the Evelyne? I recently watched Mel in Melbourne review one in a bag comparison video (GP & Evelyne), and it looks perfect. I bought the 7RP for my B30, and have zero complaints. They’re just so darn pricey. Ok, so one complaint.
I have not. I’m holding out. The price is crazy even for H standards. I found a cool store on Etsy that looks like they make nice low profile inserts. I ordered one for $35 and should get it next week and will report back. If you end up getting the 7RP let us know how you like it!
As much as I like the 7RP, and how well it seems it would work with its rounded edges, I don’t think I can bring myself to pull the trigger. Will look forward to seeing and hearing about your new insert.
I agree with the rounded edges! This is the one I ordered. They were kind enough to make me one without a zipper pocket. Sounds like you can customize as much as you want. https://www.etsy.com/listing/502371...V49kApG--_4SszLraMfACjneYeAp5pOQaAlrWEALw_wcB
Yep I just received mine and love it. Yes it's pricey but considering I was this close to selling it because, while I love the look and feel of it, it was not as enjoyable to use because I kept digging around for anything....this insert is beautifully made (I already had one for my B30) and makes me love my evelyne again

Please do a review of it when you get it. I’d love to order one if it works for you.
Love your evie, is it box leather? The insert looks so nice with it. I also ordered Lilas for a black bag and it’s such a nice combination and helps you see your stuff more easily!
Oh gosh, I’m sorry I missed your question. The MT evelyne insert corners aren’t really square in the sense that they’re not poking out or anything. The fabric is quite soft and the MT insert doesn’t protrude at all and doesn’t create any dents or bulges. The Clemence leather of the evelyne is definitely thicker and hardier than the fabric used to make the MT insert so the leather doesn’t seem affected whatsoever by having the insert inside. I just leave the MT insert in the Evelyne even when I’m not using my bag.
I hope this helps! And again, I’m sorry for my delayed response. [emoji253]
Oh, in case this helps anyone in the future:
The 7RP L’insert for the HAC 32cm also works well in my Chevre Mysore Birkin 30cm and Vache Liegee Birkin 30cm. It doesn’t leave any dents or bulges despite the size difference. I don’t know if it would be different if my B30s had a softer leather. Also, even though the height of the 7RP HAC32 L’insert is taller than a 7RP B30 L’insert, it still allows me to open the zipper pocket and access the slot pockets easily.
