Base Shapers

Keep Your Bag's Shape Without Losing Space

A collapsed base is what makes a bag look tired long before the leather does. Ours are cut to the exact footprint of your style and sit just one to two millimetres deep, so the shape is held, the base is protected, and nothing is taken from what you can carry.

  • Cut to the exact footprint of your bag, or made bespoke from your measurements

  • Just 1-2 mm deep, so the shape is supported without losing space

  • Protects the base and lining from chain straps and daily wear

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it take up room inside my bag?

No. Each shaper is between one and two millimetres deep, so it supports the base without eating into what you can carry. If anything, a bag that holds its shape is easier to pack than one that has collapsed inwards.

How do I know it will fit?

Each shaper is cut to the exact footprint of the style it is made for, so you only need to choose your bag by name. If your style is not listed, our Custom Order Base Shaper is made from your own measurements.

My bag is not listed. Can you still make one?

Yes. Our Custom Order Base Shaper is made to your measurements, so almost any bag can be fitted. Send us a message if you would like help measuring, and we will talk you through exactly what we need.

Which colour should I choose?

Either match your bag's interior so the shaper disappears, or choose a lighter shade to brighten a dark lining and make everything easier to find. Beige Cream is the most popular for dark interiors, and Midnight Black is the most discreet in a light one.

Is it safe on the lining?

Yes. The shaper simply rests on the base and is not adhered to anything, so it lifts straight out whenever you want. It also takes the wear that would otherwise fall on the lining, particularly from chain straps in storage.

Can I take it out and clean it?

Yes, it lifts straight out. Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it dry fully before returning it to the bag.

Do they work in a bag that has already lost its shape?

Often, yes. A shaper supports the base and helps a bag sit properly again, though it cannot reverse a crease that has set into the leather itself. If you are unsure, send us a photograph and we will tell you what to expect.

How quickly will my order arrive?

Each shaper is made to order, and orders are dispatched within three business days. Orders to the United States typically arrive within five to eight business days once dispatched.

What if it is not right?

Every order is covered by our 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Please note that return shipping is not covered, and bespoke custom orders are made specifically for you, so we would always rather help you get the measurements right first.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes, we ship daily.
