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...

Carmina was able to go back and try the Hot Star Large Fried Chicken that Mom Violy couldn't remember what she ate seven years ago.

How do you want to eat your Hot Star Large Fried Chicken? 

Do you prefer XXL Crispy Chicken Ala Carte thigh part, Chicken Subwich or Chicken Wingettes?

Carmina's favorite is the Chicken Wingettes you have an option for 5 or 10 pieces with or without fries. You have an option to pick from the following flavoring Salt & Pepper, Chili Pepper, BBQ, Spicy BBQ and Teriyaki. 

Carmina had ordered 5 Pieces Chicken Wingettes BBQ Flavored with Fries and gravy comes for your dipping sauce for PHP 219.00 ($4.29).


Chicken Wingettes remind Carmina the chicken wings that Mom Violy use to buy that come frozen all you need is fry it at home in the deep fryer.

Carmina went back to memory lane. The best part the Chicken Wingettes were crispy when it had arrived even if there was barbecue flavoring on it and the fries.
