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...

Being Blind on Right Eye




You come across that your running low on your contact lenses and having different grades on your eye from right and left.

Carmina has a funny story when she would be able to go in person to Sarabia Optical in the shopping mall. The sales lady would tell me I am sorry we don't have your contact lens available for your right eye.

I would tease the sales lady oh my I will become blind because my grade is different in both eyes without having contact lens I won't be able to see clearly.

The sales lady would just smile at me saying we can order from our manufacture and can be available the following week.

I would always ask Sarabia Optical what is their promotion for my contact lenses but due my right eye being greater meaning it has astigmatism there is no sale for my Air Optix Contact Lens during this time.

Each box of Air Optix Contact Lens with Astigmatism has three contact lenses inside which is three months to use.


Unfortunately, I cannot wear reading glasses due to my vision in my eye not being balance makes me dizzy. I have no choice to wear contact lenses.

I always request to put a sticker on the box to make sure which one are for my eyes my way I won't forget when it is time to change my contact lens.

Due to the pandemic I had place my order on the phone and called Sarabia Optical and was informed it would be available for pick up on Saturday, May 29, 2021. 

Friday, May 28, 2021 I had received a phone call that my contact lenses we're available to be picked up.

I decided since the family I live with our paranoid not allowing me to go outside and pick up my contact lenses at Sarabia Optical. I called Sarabia Optical to see if I can just wire the money through Gcash and they gave me the payment details.

I had schedule Lalamove to pick up my contact lenses from Sarabia Optical and informing them who is picking it up under Carmina.

Sarabia Optical had texted me informing me the rider for Lalamove has already picked it up making sure I would receive it.
