A guide for this piece: about $387, 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 long, low handbag in lizard from the Tom Ford years at Gucci, its honey-beige scales shaded darker toward the edges. Twin rolled handles and a silver-tone piston clasp complete a shape close to the Jackie line.
The Piece
The skin is finished by hand so that each panel deepens from pale gold at the centre to tobacco at the seams. Two vertical straps carry the handles, and a narrow tab drops over the front to meet the clasp.
The interior is lined in navy GG canvas with a zipped pocket, and a leather tab is stamped with the house name and serial numbers. It is offered as the bag alone.
