The Birkin 25 — nicknamed the \"Baby Birkin\" — has the tightest interior of any Birkin size, which means the front and back panels collapse against each other faster than on larger Birkins when the bag is left empty. This insert holds them apart. Handmade in Lynchburg, Virginia. Acid-free fill, safe against leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"fab-dims\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBag exterior (Birkin 25):\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 × 20 × 13 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabrinique insert:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sized to occupy the Birkin 25's cavity without pressing on the closure or corner stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Togo, Clemence, Epsom, Swift, and Box leather Birkin 25s.
