Sure! Here you go - hope you can make out the charcoal-blue insert
The height of the insert is not as high as the bag and it has four side-pockets...handy for keeping things organised 
Hooray for the Halzan...

She looks amazing! I almost bought the same one last month but opted for another Evie. I tell myself that if the Halzan ever came in Bleu Nuit GHW, it’s an automatic buy. Please let us know your thoughts after carrying her for awhile.
I actually returned an evie for this! Will keep you posted after trying it for a bit longer- but so far, I LOVE how practical and spacious it is!
Thank you so much saptae! It’s very helpful for meSure! Here you go - hope you can make out the charcoal-blue insert

All- you are making such a fine case for me to choose the Halzan before the Lindy as my next leather.
Had one of mine for 3+ years & carried it everywhere, still looks new. I highly recommend using an insert because I saw a lady wearing one with a droopy bottom & it wasn't pretty. I would worry more about the bottom than stretching the strap.
Do you mind if I ask what brand insert do you use? I just got mine and I’m scared of the droopy bottom already!!!
I have a mini halzan in swift leather.. kind of regret because the leather is so fragile. A little bit water will sink in a cause a damp patch spot on the leather, giving me heart attack. Luckily it dries off and disappear. But I always have to be extra careful when going toilet to wash hands..
Enjoy your bag.... i have a 6year old swift lindy which i use alot including for traveling. It has been in the rain many times (couple times caught in a downpour) and it is fine.
Sorry about the late reply. I was on a trip overseas. I just use this one from amazon. It fits perfect on Halzan 31. Light weight & RFID blocking. Perfect on a travel bag.

Hi All,
I've had my Halzan 31 for about a month. I love it. I'm a one handbag kind of woman, and will probably carry it almost exclusively, as I live a pretty casual lifestyle, as a professor, writer, personal trainer, and single mom of two boys. While I love, love, love the practical construction of the Halzan 31, what I was not living was that my notebook was causing my bag to sag on the bottom. I am a writer and have carried a notebook since I was nine years old. I basically carry a handbag to have something in which to put my notebook. If the bag cannot support my notebook, in my opinion, it serves no purpose.
I considered getting an insert and even tried one in the bag. But I actually love leather. I love the way it feels. I love the way it feels to reach my hand into my bag to get my things. I am not trying to keep my bag pristine or anything like that. So, the insert seemed like overkill and made the interior of the bag smaller.
So, I hacked a supportive bottom for my bag. I took a bottom out of a Henri Bendel "bonus tote," removed the satin cover, cut it to size, rounded the edges (God forbid the pointy edges poked a dent in the leather), and temporarily covered it with a scarf (I'll come up with something more permanent).
But look at the difference! That saggy bottom wasn't cute and I think it would have caused a permanent problem over time.
