The Find: How to Fix a Shapeless Tote

Aug 6, 2024

One of my favorite bags is my Cuyana Classic Easy Tote. I bought this as a birthday gift for myself, and it’s a wonderful bag for all the things an attorney needs and all the things a Mom needs. The only trouble is, the bag is complete shapeless and the insert Cuyana sells is $98. Luckily, Amazon sells a similar product for 80% less that can work in any slouchy tote bag.

This felt insert from Amazon is designed to fit in a LV Neverfull, but it comes in seven sizes, so you can find one to fit in your bag.  Amazon also has other styles for different bags.  

Buying an insert for your bag accomplishes several goals: 1) an insert gives a shapeless bag form, which helps prevent wear marks caused by slouching; 2) it prevents water damage or staining inside the bag; and 3) it helps you organize your items so you can find them more easily.  For less than $30, you can protect your favorite bag.  

I highly recommend picking one up for your totes.  I bought a second one so that I can use a regular purse as a baby bag now that Sloane is transitioning out of diapers.  The organizer keeps me from ending up with a purse filled with fruit snacks and Goldfish crackers.

    You recommended one of these a few years ago and I bought one for my Goyard equivalent of the LV Neverfull. It made my spacious tote seem more manageable. This is an excellent recommendation that keeps on giving!

    Hi there! Which size of the Cuyana tote do you like? The classic looks enormous but the smaller one being called “small” is giving me pause – I’m using it for a work bag for laptop, power cord, phone, a notebook.
