Bag-a-Vie Pillow Shapers are as versatile as you need them to be. Use one or stack (Classic Collection) them horizontally or vertically for that perfect fit. Bag-a-Vie is designed to Mix and Match sizes in any bag, just the way you like it.

Note about measurements: sizes given are measured flat, the fiber fill makes the measurements smaller, the size of pillows expands when placed inside a bag.

Use the measurements for reference or if you don’t see your bag below, just drop us a note and we’ll be glad to recommend the correct size for your bag.

Essential tips

CLASSIC AND CUSTOM COLLECTION SHAPERS:
When your Bag-a-Vie Purse Shapers arrive, remove from plastic bag, massage with open palm to flatten, as inner fibers may shift during shipping
ALWAYS store in a dry safe place away from direct sunlight or hot lights
DO NOT over stuff the bag by using the wrong size Bag-a-Vie
DO NOT place plastic air pillows inside your leather bags
DO NOT store in boxes, always allow air flow
Store your bags in their dust bags, laying down or use a HandBagHanger (bags that do best hung) whenever possible to prevent sag
ReFresh and Regenrate your Bag-a-Vie Purse Shapers in the dryer once a month to disinfect and renew their moisture absorbing quality
Replace your Purse Pillows every 2 years, more often if you live in a high humidity area. Surface clean only
CLASSIC COLLECTION SHAPERS:
Our classic collection was created to be universally sized to fit most bags, check sizing or ask us for suggested sizing in your collection
Mix and match for that custom fit if one shaper is not adequate for your bag
Be sure to alternate positioning between uses for best results (when using more then 1 shaper in a bag)
CUSTOM COLLECTION SHAPERS:
Our Birkin Pillow Shapers are made by design to store your Birkin without closing or locking the bag. Storing your bag closed will in time mark the leather and hardware and stretch the straps. Will also leave an imprint of the flap if closed.
Place your Custom Shaper Pillows inside and press with open palms front to back to secure shapers in place and allow them to mold inside
Gently pull the straps in to secure but DO NOT close or lock, allow moderate support from within and store
DO NOT close your HERMES Birkin or Kelly bags
Whenever possible store your Kelly and Birkin bags laying down to prevent creasing on a soft surface if possible
