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's favorite food from Mediterranean is gyros. It can be any type of meat to explore eating Greek.  The best part when you cannot enter inside a restaurant while being on lockdown. You can have it delivered to your location. Oh my! What a huge Chicken Gyros! Carmina has never seen something that was 11" Super Chicken Gyros in Pita Bread that taste delicious with all the flavoring from the chicken, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and fries PHP 292.00 ($5.73). Carmina had requested the sauce to be on the side prevent having it get soggy being delivered from Grab Food Philippines. Carmina wanted to treat herself from a busy day by ordering a dessert of Loukoumades Honey & Cinnamon. It was a bit oily when holding on to it although it was soft when you bite into the loukoumades. There was cinnamon powdered on the loukoumades with honey to dip into it for PHP 109.00 ($2.14). Just a donut version the Greek way.
