A guide for this piece: about $3,298, 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 black Hermès Kelly 28 Retourne with a gently rounded outline. The restrained colour draws attention to the profile of the bag and to the balance between its single handle and broad flap.
The Piece
Retourne describes inward-stitched construction with softer outer edges. In the 28 format it offers a useful middle ground between a miniature evening bag and a larger daily companion, carried by hand or in the crook of the arm.
The tapered body measures about 24.5 cm at the top and 27.5 cm at the base. The leather variety is not specified, so the description stays with what is confirmed: black leather, Retourne construction and an excellent surface free of noticeable marks.
