A guide for this piece: about $284, 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 mini Saddle bag in navy and grey Oblique jacquard, with a gold-tone D clasp, a leather strap and a curved saddle flap.
The Piece
The Saddle was designed by John Galliano for Dior in 1999 and returned in 2018 under Maria Grazia Chiuri; its curved silhouette still takes its name from a horse’s saddle.
In the Mini size, the Oblique jacquard is woven in navy and beige and cut into the saddle flap and body. A leather strap carries it on the shoulder, and a gold-tone D clasp fastens the flap, with a C link at the strap.
The inside is lined in beige canvas with the Christian Dior Paris label, made in Italy.
