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...

Loot Bag

When I had arrived back to Manila and I was unpacking my belongings separate the ones that need to be washed. I had separated the shampoo, conditioner, bath wash soap, body lotion, soap, brewed coffee, sugar packs and tea bags that were given by the hotel during my stay. Each day my room was cleaned and they had replenished my supply I kept it to accumulate. I have sixteen employees who work for my parent in-law’s business and every time I come back from my trip I make sure I have something to give to them that looks like a loot bag of goodies. Funny Story: I gave four employee’s their loot bags that had either one tube of shampoo, hand lotion, chocolates, wafer cookies, brewed coffee with sugar pack and hard candies at night before I was going to sleep. Morning came and I went downstairs Manang V had informed me a funny incident that had happened to her last night when I had given her the loot bags. Manang V said, she didn’t really pay any attentio...

Reaching Out

On the plane I was watching Gilmore Girl’s One Year Television Series my all-time favorite show I realize how much a mother and daughter relationship they have together. I am thankful I have that kind of relationship with my mom this was the first time my mom and I didn’t argue or fight during our recent trip. My mom became expressing to me telling me what Yann is going through that I need to be there for her even if it means she had made a bad decision in her life. It was her choice and even if she is suffering making the wrong choice we can’t scold and question her surrounding because she is no longer a child. People make the wrong decision in life when they are desperate and feel so helpless. People fall in a trap feeling there is something there when in reality our brain has made it seem it real but only a fantasy. People fall to believe the past relationship and his family will fall back in place how it use to be even promised they have made. In real...

Day 6: Time to say good bye to Sydney, Australia

Staying in InterContinental was a good experience everything was all walking distance and it is not hard remembering where you need to go and come back to the hotel. I had test my mom to see if she would remember herself going back to our room as we kept going out and returning. Funny Story: In every situation you run into a funny story that comes by when I always travel with my mom and she doesn't mind me telling the whole world.
