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...

Just when you're feeling homesick missing the food backed from California. No problem Carmina was able to solve her cravings after she discovered Burger King Philippines has somewhat close to a western burger from Carl's Jr. The only difference instead of fried onion rings it is has crispy fried onions inside which made it even better to try something new for a change. Carmina just ordered the smaller version being the junior size of PHP 149.00 ($2.66) without the meal by just adding side order of large fries for PHP 85.00 ($1.63). Carmina was able to solve her cravings from burger that we are use to eating somewhere else. I am back in the Philippines we can find another place that can make us at ease to find food something close to our home in California. Burger King Philippines  is a branch coming from the United States it is easy to find a meal what you miss back from your vacation.
