A guide for this piece: about $325, 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 made-to-order piece from the DIY service, so the letter was chosen rather than designed. The map print is among the most recognisable of the period.
Best for: Collectors of Michele-era Gucci outerwear
Condition notes
Graded A: slight signs of use with light marks, rubs and soiling.
Small mark on the print beside the initial.

A Gucci DIY bomber in printed silk, made to order through the personalisation service the house offered under Alessandro Michele. An antique map covers the body, and a large red Y, the initial chosen by its first owner, is embroidered on the chest.
The Piece
The map print runs across front, back and sleeves in parchment, ochre and pale blue, with coastlines, ships, camels and Latin place names drawn in the manner of an old atlas. Pale blue panels at the shoulders and navy and red Web ribbing at collar, cuffs and hem frame the print.
Inside, the peach lining carries the pink Gucci label and an embroidered crowned snake patch. The front closes with tortoiseshell-effect snaps and has two welt pockets. Size 58 gives a generous, relaxed fit.
