Wondering how to give your favorite luxury bag a second life? These restoration spots in the Philippines might just be your best-kept secret.

If you're looking to restore your designer bags to their former glory in the Philippines, especially around Metro Manila, Mom Violy can recommend E Restore Leatherworks for affordable price. Mom Violy went to visit E Restore on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, with Carmina. Getting a Louis Vuitton bag repaired—especially the shoulder strap—can be tricky and pricey, so finding a reliable place like E Restore Leatherwork in Greenhill's is a win. They’re known for handling luxury items with care, and it’s great to hear Mom Violy had a positive experience. One-week turnaround for a luxury bag repair—especially with color-matching the shoulder strap—is quite efficient. And ₱4,000 for restoring a Louis Vuitton piece sounds like a fair deal, considering how meticulous that kind of work can be. Mom Violy said she can bring all her Louis Vuitton and still be original. Mom Violy also purchased some cream to take care of her bags purchasing at  E Restore Leatherworks . Price may varies depe...

Day Trip to Balanga, Bataan in the Philippines

In any breakfast there are people eating dried fish from variety of selections. Every time I am in town in Balanga, Bataan. I would stop by Balanga Public Market Bargain.

I have a regular seller where in Tagalog they call it, "suki". Someone that sells something is what we call it and we always buy them in order to get a good discount or deal.


I have been going to this person for a very long time. I visit them twice a year.


The name of the supplier is Boots.


Contact:


Boots: 09999984868


Len: 09994832299


I was able to take a picture with my suki when I was there so I would remember how they look like.

This is Ma Caramela who is selling it.

They also have dried pusit (squid), dried daing (boneless bangus milk fish) and many more.
Some people ask me why I would travel two hours just to buy dried fish first of all the dried fish are really fresh and it is inexpensive. Not only visiting this place you can see new surroundings.

Close by the Balanga Public Market Bargain are some restaurants to eat.

Lunch at Fortune Hongkong Seafood Restaurant in Balanga, Bataan.

For the first time I was able to visit the Tourism of Bataan when my Tita (Aunt) was looking for certain cashew nut. I am not sure what is the difference from any cashew nut in the market.
