A guide for this piece: about $34, 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 backpack from Kenzo in black nylon, its front embroidered with an elephant in grey and white above the words Kenzo Paris. Zipped, with a front pocket and a top handle, and in good condition.
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. Alongside the tiger, the elephant is one of the animals the house has made its own, and here it appears in a quiet, tonal form.
The elephant is embroidered in white and several shades of grey on the black nylon, its tusks and trunk neatly outlined, with the house name arched above and Paris set beneath. The effect is restrained: a single graphic on a dark ground, which suits plain clothes and gives the bag a polished, grown-up look.
The bag is a classic rounded daypack with silver-toned zips, a zipped pocket across the front for small items, a short handle at the top and adjustable padded shoulder straps. The main compartment opens wide and is lined in grey, with a small interior panel carrying the Kenzo mark, and a D-ring on the side adds a point for attaching a key or charm. It is a sensible, handsome size for a day in the city.
