A guide for this piece: about $694, 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 Chanel Flower Power Matelassé 23 single flap bag in quilted lambskin, washed in blurred blooms of pink, coral, yellow and violet, with silver-tone CC turn-lock and chain.
The Piece
The Flower Power version is one of the most painterly Chanel flap bags. The lambskin is printed with soft, out-of-focus flowers, so pink, coral, butter yellow, lilac and deep plum melt into one another.
The print covers every surface, base included. The silver-tone CC turn-lock sits on a plum-toned lock plate, and the interlaced chain, threaded with leather has a darkened, almost iridescent finish.
At 23 cm wide this is the compact single flap size, large enough for a phone, cards and keys. The chain is worn doubled on the shoulder or long as a single strap.
It is series 21 and comes with its guarantee card and serial sticker. A joyful piece of Chanel colour, apart from the black and beige classics.
