A guide for this piece: about $57, 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.

Wellington boots from the collaboration between Hunter and Kenzo, in matte black rubber with the red Boke Flower and KENZO PARIS lettering on the calf. Size EU 38, never worn outdoors.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. Hunter, the British maker of the green wellington, brings a century of waterproof craft to the partnership, and the result is a boot in which both traditions are plainly visible: the clean, rounded Hunter silhouette, and the vivid red poppy that Takada Kenzo adopted as a signature.
The boots rise to the knee with a buckled strap at the top of each calf and the small red Hunter tab at the rim. The finish is a quiet matte black, so the flower and white lettering stand out sharply. Inside, the lining is a playful monochrome print of black flowers on white, a surprise that appears only when the boots are on. The soles carry Hunter's deep chevron tread, with a red roundel at the heel.

Authenticity & Care
The inner Hunter x Kenzo Paris label, showing UK 5, US 7 and EU 38, and the FSC rubber label are both photographed. Wipe with a damp cloth, let the rubber dry naturally away from heat, and store upright to keep the shafts from creasing.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Tokyo and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. 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.
Japanese shoe sizes are given in centimetres of foot length, checked here by hand, and makers differ by half a size or more. Compare with a pair you already wear from the same maker and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our shoe size conversion chart sets Japan beside US, UK, EU and Korean 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.
