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...

Sarang Kimchi and Mrs. Lee Mat Kimchi from Sarang Mart


Carmina had served kimchi for Christmas Day and a family made a comment where I had made my purchase.

The family member said you should try a different that is not authentic from a Korean Grocery Store.

Even though the family member kept complaining where I had purchase the kimchi they kept eating it with their home made pork barbecue with lettuce to wrap it up.

Everyone has their own taste buds.

Another family member had suggested to try purchasing kimchi from Sarang Mart off in Kalayaan Avenue.

Carmina had tried to purchase two types of kimchi sold at Sarang Mart not sure which ones the family member was referring too.

Carmina sent one container of Sarang Kimchi for Mom Violy to try. Mom Violy liked how it tastes not being too spicy for her to eat for PHP 165.00 ($3.24) 700 grams (big size).


Carmina had tried Sarang Kimchi to her it was a bit too spicy for her.

Carmina prefer the Mrs. Lee Mat Kimchi it has a different taste seems different from all the makers who puts different ingredients for PHP 187.00 ($3.66) 400 grams.



Whatever kimchi you prefer they have it at Sarang Mart all you can do is book it through Grab Mart to have it picked up since we're not allowed to go outside again for the meantime.
