A guide for this piece: about $236, 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 house icon in scarlet
The Teddy took the American campus jacket and gave it a Paris collar: lean proportions, lambskin where others use cowhide, a single letter instead of a crowd of patches. In red it is at its most confident, a piece that needs no explanation on the street and holds its value in the archive.
Best for: Collectors of Celine under Hedi Slimane; luxury varsity wardrobes

A Celine varsity jacket in the house's Teddy cut: red wool body and sleeves, cream lambskin capping each shoulder in a chevron, and a single chenille C on the chest. Tagged 52, with its tags still attached.
The Piece
The front is the face to know. A cream chenille C, edged in red, sits on the left chest; two welt pockets piped in cream leather angle across the body, and press studs close the placket. On each sleeve, cream lambskin runs from the shoulder seam to a chevron above the elbow, broken by a band of red, before the red wool returns to the cuff.
The back is left plain, so the cut does the talking: a dropped shoulder, a full body and a short, square length. Collar, cuffs and hem are finished in red rib with twin cream stripes. Inside, a black lining, a woven CELINE PARIS label and a size tab reading 52; the care label states Made in Italy. The Teddy is the varsity jacket Hedi Slimane brought to Celine, and it has become one of the house's most recognisable pieces.
