A guide for this piece: about $65, 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.

A black sweatshirt from Kenzo Paris, set on the chest with the house’s eye motif worked in embroidery and small faceted stones, with sleeves in a softer fleece. A piece of the Humberto Leon and Carol Lim years.
The Piece
Kenzo, founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, was re-energised in the 2010s under Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, and the open eye became one of the emblems of that period. This sweatshirt carries it in its most decorative form.
The eye is worked in layers: an almond shape in pale blue and cream with the words Kenzo Paris running around the pupil, a fringe of embroidered petals above, and below it a row of elongated drops in grey and gold thread. Small faceted stones are set among them, and catch the light against the matt black ground.
The body is a smooth sweatshirt fabric with a clean crew neck and a ribbed hem, and the sleeves are cut from a soft fleece, giving the piece two textures in one colour. The cut is short and wide, in the manner of its time.
