A guide for this piece: about $219, 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.

Paris, by way of the campus
Celine made the teddy one of its quiet signatures, and this is the form at its most distilled: black wool, cream lambskin, and a single letter repeated front and back. Nothing is added that the silhouette does not need. It is a varsity jacket cut with the discipline of tailoring.
Best for: Collectors of Celine ready-to-wear; refined varsity wardrobes
Condition notes
Light signs of use overall. Slight fuzzing to the knit rib. A perfume scent remains in the fabric.

A Celine teddy jacket, reference 2V56D896C: a black wool body, cream lambskin sleeves, black leather shoulder yokes, and a felt C patch on the chest answered by a far larger one across the back. Catalogued as size 44.
The Piece
The back carries the jacket's statement. A tall cream C, cut in felt and stitched flat, sits at the centre of the black wool, framed above by the dark leather yokes that run from collar to shoulder seam. Black and cream striped rib closes the collar, cuffs and hem.
The front is quieter: a smaller C on the left chest, black snaps from collar to hem, and two slanted welt pockets edged in cream leather. The sleeves are smooth lambskin; the lining is black rayon.
The unaccented CELINE PARIS label belongs to the house as redrawn under Hedi Slimane from 2018, when the teddy became one of its recurring signatures.
