I had a sad incident in which a lip stain exploded inside my bag last week. Completely ruined my bag. Fortunately, it wasn't expensive, but I won't be repeating the same mistake. What bag inserts do you use for designer handbags?

I'm using the bag inserts from MaiTai Collection for my Birkins, and they're amazing. You can buy cheap felt inserts from Etsy or Amazon, but honestly, I'd invest a little more to get a quality insert that would last and fit better, especially for high-end bags. 

MaiTai Collection offers inserts for all kinds of Hermes bag styles and sizes, and they come in various fabric options. Mine is in the Jean-Paul Gaultier Collection in Skin Taupe color, but you can choose from so many different fabrics, some including collaborations with renowned designers like Etro, Ralph Lauren, and Liberty of London. It fits PERFECTLY inside my bag, and it gently keeps the bag in shape and prevents it from slouching. 

They are relatively easy to clean. I vacuum any dust, hair, or cookie crumbles (!!!) periodically and spot clean with wet wipes. MaiTai recommends dry cleaning the insert when it becomes heavily soiled or is due for deeper cleaning.

7 Rue Paradis inserts are amazing for keeping your Birkin (or any other Hermes bags) organized and in top shape. They’re specifically designed to fit inside Birkins, giving you compartments to store everything neatly while protecting the interior from spills or wear. The best part is they don’t add bulk or distort the shape of the bag. They come in a range of colors, so you can choose one that matches or complements your Birkin. It’s quite expensive, but a worthy investment if you want to maintain your bag’s value and keep it looking pristine.

I like Samorga bag inserts - they're called "Bag in Bag". They’re made from high-quality felt, which offers great structure and protection without being too bulky. The felt is lightweight yet durable, so it helps keep the shape of your bag while preventing sagging or wear. They have tons of pockets and compartments to help organize everything. They also come in a variety of sizes and colors to perfectly match your specific bag, making them super customizable. And it's much cheaper than other insert brands. 

The "Bag in Bag" comes in 2 thicknesses - 1.2 mm and 2mm. The thinner one's lighter but the 2mm insert gives the bag more structure and protection.
