DISCLOSURE
We have the experience, skill, and equipment to perform this specialized recovery service; however, we do not guarantee any specific results due to the existing condition of the item and the nature of the process.
From all our training, we are taught to inform customers to approach this service with the mindset:
“SIRA NA, WALA NANG MAWAWALA” — the item is already damaged, and this is an attempt to recover it.
If you are not willing to accept the risk that the item may sustain further damage, this service is not for you.

34 YEAR OLD WEDDING GOWN RECOVERED
THE STORY
- In 1991, this gown was worn at a beautiful Wedding in New York. Later, it journeyed to Cebu, Philippines, where the mother lovingly raised her family, carrying with it the memories of love, hope, and new beginnings.
- In 2025, ABSOLUTE received an email asking if this treasured gown could be brought back to life for the daughter’s wedding day. Photographs shared by the owner were digitally presented to the Global Association of Wedding Gown Specialists. The challenge was accepted, and the gown was air shipped from Cebu to Manila for ABSOLUTE Recovery service.
- Every step of the meticulous 5-stage recovery process was guided and reviewed by experts from the Global Association of Wedding Gown Specialists (AWGS) — professionals with over 40 years of experience in restoring wedding gowns.
- After 30 days of dedicated care, the gown was returned to its owner — with the effects of 34 years in storage significantly healed, shinning once more just as it did on that memorable day in 1991.

When Your Son Wants to Wear Your College Jersey, What Do You Do?
A father reached out with a request: recover his 34-year-old college varsity jersey because his son wanted to wear it.
For Dad, the jersey isn’t just fabric — it carries memories, victories, and the spirit of his youth. He was proud his son wanted to wear his Jersey as a symbol of family pride and tradition.
We accepted the challenge, providing our recovery service to restore not only the jersey’s appearance but also the ANIMO it carries!
There’s something truly special about handing down a treasured item filled with stories and meaning. This jersey has witnessed years of unforgettable moments that shaped a young man’s journey. Now, it is ready to inspire the next generation — a priceless connection between father and son.
Service Cost: ₱1,150.00
Service Time: 7 days
Beyond the price, the real value lies in the father-and-son bond — far greater than any material thing.
Likhang sining ng nakaraan.
The Barong is more than just traditional Filipino formal attire — it is a masterpiece adorned with intricate hand embroidery (Burda) - embodying our culture, heritage, and identity. Each stitch tells a story of artistry passed down through generations. Sadly, this delicate craft of hand embroidery is slowly fading, as most Barongs today are machine embroidered to cut cost.
At ABSOLUTE, our expert team combines over 20 years of experience with modern equipment to recover these local masterpieces. Whether aged, stained, or yellowed, our specialized Barong Recovery service is intended to revitalize this delicate handmade art and, perhaps, restore the priceless memory it holds for its wearer.
Barong Recovery Service Fee: ₱1,050.00
Service Time: 7 days
Trust ABSOLUTE to bring your Barong back to its former glory — our tribute to the local artisans who labored to create our treasured traditional attire.

Sometimes, life’s accidents leave marks we never expected — like a cherished DESIGNER BLOUSE stained by red wine. This blouse had already been to a leading laundry shop, but the stubborn stains remained.
With over 20 years of experience and modern equipment, we carefully worked to remove the stain and recover this precious blouse. And you know what? After removing the SUDS left by the previous laundry, the blouse’s color appeared even more vibrant than when it was first brought in.
A reminder that sometimes, what seems lost can truly be recovered.
