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...

Join us on a heartwarming journey as we visit Auntie Hermie's house, filled with stories of a lifetime.

Friendship draws family to connect with each other distance when you don't realize a lot has changed. Many friendships last for a long time yet we never know what someone is experiencing once you see them face to face. Yesterday after visiting Auntie Hermie at her home made me see the life, she lived alone in her home. It was sad for me to see a person who didn't quite recognized you when the moment she had opened her door. The memories in my head where Auntie was the joyful person who was very talkative. Seeing her after three years later she was the timid and opposite person who didn't seem herself. I know a lot of seniors live alone in their homes in California although never knew it would look this way. Being a daughter always there for Mom Violy made me realized how much an impact had encounter being sad how Auntie Hermie was living. Life from someone else home is a shock. I had hugged Auntie Hermie helped her out with phone so we can connect with each other. I remembe...
