Here is a pic. I believe I ordered the color Beige. In my opinion, the fit could be a little bit more snug. I would prefer the insert to be more flush up against the sides of the bag in order to maximize space. On the other hand, this insert fits my Gucci tote extremely well (second pic), an added bonus.

I was inspired by this thread to try out the small Cuyana organizer for my Anjou PMs. While the fit isn't absolutely perfect, I still think it's really good! I prefer for organizers in my totes, especially the less structured ones, to be slightly smaller to avoid an overly boxy appearance or any lines of demarkation. And this does just that.
I also tried this out in my Artois PM. To my surprise, it fits. It's definitely more snug, but it works! Overall, I'm really pleased. It's a nice alternative to the felt organizers I have in some of my other bags.
Now about the organizer itself. The small one has one pocket that runs the length of the long side, one on the short side (which in the Artois is a little difficult to access due to the zipper), and an elasticated loop for a water bottle or whatever. It's made out of PU leather. I do have to mention that the weight difference with and without it is noticeable. By no means is it a deal breaker, but something I thought I'd mention. I hope this helps someone out!

Do you remember what color this insert is? It matches the interior perfectly, but on their site the closest color I see is Dark Stone/Blush and it looks much darker than yours. TIA!
Yes, it's just the blush. https://www.cuyana.com/bags/totes/t...92.html?dwvar_10051392_color=dark-stone-blush
Is there any discounts available for cuyana? I'm thinking about ordering the insert for my Artois.
Has anyone tried a Cuyana organizer in a St Louis tote? Wondering if the larger size organizer will work with a St Louis GM…
I love it. I just bought my first artois. May I ask if you had to customize your measurements? If so do you mind providing them
Are you able to still fit a 13” laptop in your Artois PM with the Samorga insert? That’s my biggest concern right now
thank you for sharing, I had a similar experience and they would not accept a return, despite mentioning it was not a good fit to me after the fact. Very disappointing. Not trying to slam Samorga, I like my other organizers, but they could do a better job specifying this will not be a good one for the Artois MM. Better try to repurpose it…
Funny you mention that, I just had a more recent experience with Samorga last week. Over the summer, I ordered an insert for my new St Louis GM and made the bad choice of ordering in the thinner 1.2mm felt. When the Insert arrived, it was just too small. i Guess you could say the base was close in size but the insert itself is shaped in a sort of rectangular shape whereas the St Louis GM has more of a tulip shape (sides flare up/outwards vs straight up and down) so there was tons of space on the sides between the bag and the insert. I decided to leave it alone since it would be a hassle to get any resolution. Anyway last week I decided to order a new insert in the standard 2mm felt (word to the wise: 1.2mm is just too flimsy for larger bags). When I ordered I decided to include a note letting her know that the one I’d ordered this summer wasnt A great fit. I just wanted to let her know to ensure a better fit with the second one, I wasn’t asking for a refund or anything, I was paying for both and was very cordial. The response the next day was basically a “too bad so sad”, she said she knows the dimensions fit and have no intentions of modifying this insert. Left a bad taste honestly. I’ve ordered at least two dozen inserts at this point but her business has gotten so big and caters to the Instagram personalities that customer service to a regular lady like me has gone out the window. We will see how the second insert fits! Fingers crossed.
