A guide for this piece: about $115, 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.

The Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 50 in Monogram canvas, the definitive weekend bag, made in France in 1997 and supplied with its shoulder strap, name tag and handle wrap.
The Piece
The Keepall has been Louis Vuitton's travel essential since the 1930s, a soft holdall designed to be packed, squashed and stowed. The Bandoulière version adds a detachable shoulder strap, and the 50 cm size is widely considered the ideal one: large enough for a weekend away, small enough to go into an overhead locker as cabin luggage.
This bag is in Monogram coated canvas with natural cowhide handles, trim and straps, and brass hardware. The date code TH1907 places its manufacture in France in 1997, a period whose canvas and vachetta are often praised by collectors. It comes with the shoulder strap, the leather name tag and the poignée handle wrap.
The vachetta has developed a warm honey patina, with the spotting typical of well-travelled leather. The canvas is clean and supple, and the zip runs smoothly.
It is a bag that will easily see another thirty years of travel.
