A guide for this piece: about $1,825, 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.

A Chanel wood vanity bag from the mid-1990s, built from wooden slats with a black leather CHANEL logo and trim, a silver-tone clasp and a burgundy lining, with its guarantee card.
The Piece
Chanel was founded by Gabrielle Chanel, who opened her first Paris shop, a milliner's, in 1910.
The case is made of wooden slats with the black leather CHANEL lettering across the front and an interlocking CC mark on the end panel, finished with black leather trim, a leather top handle and a silver-tone clasp. The previous owner dates it to the mid-1990s and says it was bought from a Chanel boutique in Japan.
The inside is lined in burgundy, stamped CHANEL and Made in France, with a zip pocket and a slip pocket. The guarantee card and serial sticker are shown beside the bag, and the previous owner states that their numbers match.
