A guide for this piece: about $51, 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 long black coat from Kenzo built from patchwork panels of velvet, wool, striped rayon and crinkled satin, all in the same midnight tone. Size S, made in France, cleaned before sale, with two small flaws recorded below.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long balanced Tokyo restraint with Parisian ease. This coat shows the quieter side of that tradition: instead of colour, it plays with surface. Every section is black, yet each one reads differently in the light, from the dense pile of the velvet at the collar and hem to the matte wool of the sleeves and the fine diagonal stripes of the body panels.
The cut is long and fluid, falling well below the knee, with a peaked lapel, a single dark horn-style button and a soft diagonal front. Panels of crumpled, lacquer-like satin run down the front edge and across the hem, and a velvet band finishes the skirt. The lining is a smooth black acetate, and the Kenzo Paris label sits in a deep burgundy at the inner neck.
Measured flat: shoulder width 56 cm (22.0 in), body width 53 cm (20.9 in), length 116 cm (45.7 in), sleeve length 54.5 cm (21.5 in). The coat weighs about 950 g. Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
