A guide for this piece: about $131, 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 Trainer in white leather, printed with the wide-eyed faces of Yayoi Kusama's My Eternal Soul paintings. Suns, flowers and masks in orange, yellow, blue and green drift across both shoes. Marked size 7.5 and made in Italy.
The Piece
The faces are placed singly, with white space between them, so that each keeps the character it has on canvas. An orange insert at the sole and an orange pivot point underfoot pick up the warmest colour of the print.
The artist's signature is debossed across the heel, and the lining is stamped Louis Vuitton, made in Italy.

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. Keep the leather away from prolonged damp and heat, and let the pair rest between wears.
Delivery from Japan
The pair is packed by hand in Japan, with shaped support inside a sturdy carton. 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.
Japanese shoe sizes are given in centimetres of foot length, checked here by hand, and makers differ by half a size or more. Compare with a pair you already wear from the same maker and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our shoe size conversion chart sets Japan beside US, UK, EU and Korean sizes, 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.
