A guide for this piece: about $28, 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.

A Kenzo Boke Boy knit built from bright patchwork squares, each carrying a letter that spells BOKE BOY across the front and back. Wool blend, style FD55PU3753CO, size M, in good condition with some marks recorded.
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. The Boke Boy knit is that spirit at full volume: a quilt of colour worn as a sweater, with the joke spelt out letter by letter.
The body is divided into a grid of squares in green, pink, blue, red, purple, yellow and brown. Some squares carry a soft appliquéd letter in a contrasting shade, others a woven geometric pattern in diamonds and stripes, and the same patchwork continues down the sleeves. At the neck, a ribbed collar striped in red, blue, yellow and black frames a red woven Kenzo label, and the cuffs and hem are finished in a patterned rib. Style reference FD55PU3753CO.
Measured flat: length approx. 66 cm (26.0 in), chest (underarm to underarm) approx. 58 cm (22.8 in), shoulder approx. 56 cm (22.0 in), sleeve approx. 62 cm (24.4 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm.
