A guide for this piece: about $193, 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 leather bomber from Gucci in blue and pale mint, its chest set with a pair of embroidered spaniels, its back lettered Blind for Love above a coiled snake, and its lining carrying a roaring tiger. Size 48, in condition A.
The Piece
The shape is that of the souvenir jacket, with raglan sleeves, a rib collar and a zip front, but the surface is entirely Gucci. The body is soft blue leather and the sleeves a pale mint with grey leather bands, each edged with a twisted black and white cord. At the chest two embroidered spaniels sit facing each other, worked in black, cream and gold thread.
Turn it round and the back reads Blind for Love in dark appliqué capitals above a blue snake with a cream outline, coiled around a sun. Open the jacket and the surprise is inside: the white satin lining carries a large embroidered tiger’s head, with crimson facing along the opening. The collar, cuffs and hem are knitted in yellow with navy and red stripes.

Authenticity & Care
The woven Gucci neck label, the branded hanger and the full tiger lining are photographed, so the interior can be read as closely as the embroidery on the outside. Leather of this kind rewards a specialist; store the jacket on a wide padded hanger away from direct heat and light.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Tokyo and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service, arranged by our Tokyo, Japan concierge team. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
Considered offers are welcome through Send an Offer, and each one is reviewed personally.
