A guide for this piece: about $44, 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 tailored jacket from Kenzo in dark grey linen, adorned along the front and one sleeve with beads, sequins and tulle in bronze, cream and grey. Size 40, made in France, and closed by concealed snaps.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has always treated embellishment as a form of painting. On this jacket the decoration is sculptural: a curling band of layered sequins, bugle beads and gathered grey tulle rises from the hem, blooms into a flower at the waist, and climbs the lapel in a single sweeping line.
A second panel of beaded embroidery in a lattice pattern runs down the outside of each sleeve, echoing the front. The linen has the soft slub and natural texture of the fibre, while the hem and the edges of the pockets are finished with a fine grey ruffled trim. The front closes with a hidden placket of metal snaps, there are no shoulder pads, and the lining is smooth and dark.
Measured flat: shoulder width 40 cm (15.7 in), body width 47 cm (18.5 in), length 59 cm (23.2 in), sleeve length 57 cm (22.4 in). Every measurement is taken by hand with the piece laid flat, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
