A guide for this piece: about $77, 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.

Chelsea boots from Kenzo in glossy black, set on a chunky lug sole and finished with a metal Kenzo Paris plate across each toe. Size 36 (230 mm), in near-new condition, with the dust bag.
The Piece
Kenzo, founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, pairs a quiet silhouette with a single graphic gesture in these boots. The upper is a clean, polished black with a rounded toe, an elastic gusset at each side and a pull loop at the back and front of the shaft.
The signature detail is the toe: a brushed metal plate engraved with KENZO PARIS curves over the front of each boot, giving a strong, almost architectural point of focus. Beneath, the thick black lug sole raises the boot and gives a firm grip, and its underside is stamped with the Kenzo Paris mark and a flower motif.
The pair was worn only once or twice, indoors and for short drives, and shows little sign of use. The tan lining and the black rear tab complete the look.

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.
