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.

Mary Ann's Favorite Breakfast Toast Bread with Butter and Fruit Jam


Mary Ann and Carmina have been talking about what we normally eat for breakfast. Mary Ann mentioned that she loves eating toast bread with butter and fruit jam.

Carmina asked Mary Ann what is the brand and flavor jam did you use in Germany that you were able to purchase from the Philippines.

Mary Ann said she had purchased the Sweet Marmalade from Kent PO Manila Lazada Philippines. Carmina had notice Kent PO Manila Lazada Philippines had a variety of other fruits jams and decided to try her favorite fruit Apricot.

Carmina asked Mary Ann if she has ever tried the real fruits used on the jams. Mary Ann said no it is too expensive and the inexpensive way for me to eat the fruits is from the jam by adding to my toast bread. 

Carmina wanted to try out and see what Mary Ann suggested to eat her toast bread how it would taste.

Carmina's order had arrived yesterday.

Sweet Orange Jam Imported Maribel (Marmalade 50% Fruits) for PHP 179.00 ($3.44) 450 grams




Apricot Jam Extra Imported Maribel for PHP 169.00 ($3.25) 450 grams




Carmina was able to try what Mary Ann had instructed her what to do spread the butter place it on the toaster oven or frying pan, toast the bread and add the jam of your choice.

Yes, it is true it is not sweet when you add the jam to your toast bread.
