A guide for this piece: about $111, 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 LV initials as Yayoi Kusama saw them: a silver-tone pendant pierced and filled with black enamel dots, hung on a fine curb chain with one red bead and one black. Reference M01089, with box and pouch.
The Piece
The dots vary in size across the letters, so the familiar monogram seems to flicker. The two beads sit off-centre on the chain, a small asymmetry that keeps the piece from formality.
A tag near the clasp is engraved Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama 2023, the artist's name in her own hand, and the lobster clasp plate carries the LV mark. Production is given as week 41 of 2022.

Authenticity & Care
Described as an authentic Louis Vuitton piece from the house's collaboration with Yayoi Kusama; the joint signature and maker's marks appear in the photographs. The Desk has not yet handled it, and our curators check every detail in Japan before dispatch. Store it dry in its pouch, away from perfume and moisture, and wipe the metal with a soft cloth after wear.
Delivery from Japan
The piece is packed by hand in Japan, in a padded box. Shipping is quoted and agreed with you before purchase, weighing EMS, then FedEx, then air cargo, all insured and tracked. Duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Length and width are measured by hand, in centimetres, and a chain falls differently on every neck. Lay a chain you already wear along a tape measure and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our necklace length chart shows each length from 40 to 75 cm as it is worn, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
Considered offers are welcome through Send an Offer, and each one is reviewed personally. See more from Yayoi Kusama, or browse what has just arrived.
