A guide for this piece: about $2,318, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A gold-tone chain traces the flap and rear pocket of this black Chanel Matelasse 34 bag.
The Piece
Its glossy diamond quilting is interrupted by a large CC turn-lock, while the long woven chain can be arranged singly or doubled. The 34-width places it well beyond a miniature evening format. Inside are an open pocket and a zipped pocket; another open pocket sits outside at the back.
Close views show the interior stamp and the clasp rather than only the silhouette. The finish enamel or patent, without identifying the underlying hide. The serial sticker is indistinct and the accompanying card is absent.
Neither the name Matelasse nor that unreadable sticker supplies a secure production year. Chain measurements were lengths, not as vertical shoulder drops. The chain border continues around the rear pocket as well as the flap, a useful distinction from quilting alone.
In the open-flap view the circular fittings and inner compartment are shown together. The stated body dimensions exclude an independently measured usable opening, and no laptop or device fit is guaranteed from width alone.

Authenticity & Care
Avoid overfilling the quilted body or pressing the chain into the patent surface. Store straps separately supported and keep the glossy finish away from heat, moisture and dark materials that may transfer colour. Do not apply solvents or attempt to remove adhesive marks at home.
