A guide for this piece: about $715, 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 Museau tote of 2000 in natural Toile Crinoline trimmed in Rouge H Vache Chamonix leather, 52 cm wide, with long shoulder straps and dust bag, lightly used.

The Piece

Toile Crinoline is a stiff, ribbed weave, and on this tote its natural straw colour is framed in Rouge H, the house’s deep brick red, in smooth Vache Chamonix calfskin. At 52 cm wide and 20 cm deep, it carries a weekend’s things.

Inside, the leather is stamped Hermès Paris Made in France. The date stamp is D in a square; collectors’ charts give it to 2000. It shows light marks, small scratches and some discolouration, rubbing on the base studs and stains inside. The long straps, with a 54 cm drop, put the weight on the shoulder. Inside is one open pocket, and the dust bag comes with it.
