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 Early Birthday at A Mano Italian Restaurant

How do you want to celebrate your upcoming birthday?

Carmina is lucky because she has a younger sister who is in town. Charina has informed me that she would like to celebrate my birthday among with family, relatives and friends.

First attempt was lunch for February 4 than it was moved earlier for February 2nd since we have other people who are working, and we need to make sure everyone schedule is free.

It didn't bother me one bit. I am flexible to work around to those who have a busy schedule.

I had informed Charina to pick which restaurant she would like to have the venue take place. I figured she is the one who will be paying the expenses. Might as well be close to the area where she is staying while visiting the Philippines.

Charina made reservation to A Mano located in Rockwell for 6 o'clock. 

My family love to eat and explore with food they had ordered some appetizers while waiting for the remaining relatives to arrive.

Meatballs we had ordered a lot of this it is really yummy. 


4 Formaggi 


Mozzarelline Fritte with Salsa Marinara sauce


Everyone gets to decide upon what they want to order for their main course.

Before the dinner I've already looked at the menu to see what I would like to try. I had ordered the ravioli con ricotta spinach. 

Others had passed around their pasta that they have ordered for themselves. We had the chance to try different kind of pasta for example we liked the vegetable lasagna. 

Those who love spicy pasta we also had the Aglio olio e pepperoncino.

Ragu

Carbonara


Margherita con bufala

Shrimp Sampi 

Fish 


Chicken 


Side order of Patate al Forno


Some of us was too full after the appetizers just decided to split a insalata di Ceasare. 


We also had some drinks grape and mango. They are both refreshing. 




Just inform the server you have a birthday celebrate and they will give you a free brownie and sing you a song.


The brownie is not sweet just right was able to share it with the family member to try.
