A guide for this piece: about $3,534, 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 Hermès Kelly Pochette in black Swift leather with gold hardware and a W stamp. The low, broad body and short handle give the Kelly language an intimate scale: an evening piece with a strong horizontal silhouette.
The Piece
At about 22 cm wide, the Pochette is longer than it is tall, and that proportion sets up a clean counterpoint to the fastening and small top handle. It is the Kelly distilled to its essentials, carried in the hand or tucked under the arm.
Swift is smooth and finely grained, with a soft sheen that takes colour richly. In black it keeps the overall effect restrained, so the contrast with the gold hardware becomes the principal decorative note.
