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.

I have friends who use to come over and drink at our home and she would always request for Krispy Cream donut. I asked, her why she wants to eat something so sweet. She said, it removes your hang over the next day. I am not a drinker so I didn’t know if it was true or not. My friend slept over our home and she woke up like nothing happened to her. That is when I had believed what she had told me was true. It doesn’t have to be a donut it can also be chocolate to remove your hangover. One day my employee told me he has an overhang from drinking last night. I couldn’t stop laughing at him. I told him next time eats chocolate and it is not called, over hang. It is called, hangover and we both laughed at each other. Q. Why does anything sweet cure your hang ove...
