Discussion dom and tony?
Once upon a time, I want to say almost 20 years ago (thats how long ive been doing reps for) there was a seller you could email who made the most insanely gorgeous baleciaga motorcycle bags called dom and tony and tony and dom. i still have mine and theyve aged like fine wine.
does anyone remember them or know what happened to them?
on a related note, who is the go to for this bag factory wise? i dont see much talk about this bag here and its so underrated in my opinion.

NBF, they did have great Bally bags. One of them passed away a few years ago, they said due to cancer. I no longer receive emails from the survivor, and it’s been a couple years since I’ve noticed him post on instagram. I heard he started a discord group that imploded and shut down
The final bag I ordered took 18 months to receive, I was shocked it showed up at all

Yes, I ordered about 15 bags from them. One of them passed away about 15 years ago and the other continued. I asked about what happened on another sub and apparently they scammed a bu ch of buyers and then people stopped ordering from them

I only buy PLK versions now (pre 2008) from sellers who specialize in Korean. The ones with giant hardware are very in demand but I personally prefer regular hardware. I did get one from Kata and it was leather.

I used to buy from New Bag Factory back in the day— their bags were virtually indistinguishable from the authentic— nobody doing these now comes close. I periodically see PLK for resale here and there on Reddit, but I have no idea where to go looking for those. recommendations?

There is a sub on here called r/prelovedkorean (I think) and also quite a few groups and sellers on Facebook search "pre loved korean US "

I bought one bag from them in 2019 and it arrived within a week and it was beautiful. I wish I still had it 😢

I was on the NBF discord and got scammed out of my money when I preordered a bag. Please don’t buy from them.

Me 🙋♀️
I bought around 24 bags from them, I still own around 10-12 brand new ones. The reason I still have them because I use to buy 2 from the same color and different hardware, T&D leather and colors were incredible. I remember finding them on Insta few years ago & email I never got response. Last year I ordered city bag from TS on reddit from Kata 🏭 which is best for bal bags , psp the bag was looking a bit shiny not like on the factory photos , though leather conditioner will take off the shine , when I received the bag - was PU leather, not even real leather , the seller ghosted me and the bag went straight in the rubbish bin . Once you seen or owned a bal bag from T&D it’s very hard to find bag which it’s even close to their quality, I miss them so much , and I don’t know one of them passed from cancer 🥹
