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.

Recently Carmina had a relative living in the United States realizing they haven't been paying off their property taxes in the Philippines. Good part the government didn't take the property from them without paying their property taxes for so many years. Being a senior and unable to travel being a caregiver giving you less of an opportunity to fly back home to pay your bills.
