A guide for this piece: about $2,968, 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.

An Evelyne GM of 1994, stamped X in a circle, in yellow leather printed with red suns, perforated H on the front, red strap; used, with some loss of shape.
The Piece
Suns, row on row, in red on yellow: the print covers this Evelyne front and back, and the perforated H cuts straight through it. Christie’s records that Évelyne Bertrand, then head of the Hermès riding department, designed the bag in 1978 for grooming tools, the holes letting damp brushes breathe.
The stamp is X in a circle; collectors’ charts give it to 1994. Thirty-two years have softened it, and it has lost some of its shape. It closes with a press stud, and the red strap, 80 cm long, is plain leather. The suns are still bright and warm.
