I got my first Evelyne in May and been using it without an insert, but I see many people do. Is it mainly preference and for organization? Or can the inside of the bag get damaged more easily since it’s untreated leather?
All of the above for me... 1. I was scared my keys, pens, sunglasses case (very angular) would stretch, stain or slash the delicate inside, 2. I wanted a zipper insert so I could travel without worry of pickpockets, 3. I just needed more compartments... everything sinks to the bottom and it drove me crazy b/c my hand couldn't reach the bottom of the bag unless I held the bag up, 4. I like the look of the bag when it's fuller/stuffed, versus saggy when a bunch of stuff sinks to the bottom.
