A guide for this piece: about $111, 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 reversible souvenir jacket from Kenzo that pairs two moods in one garment: a black face embroidered with red roses and a map of France, and a green and ivory face with tigers and a map of Japan. Size M, near unworn.
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. Few garments express that dialogue as literally as this jacket, which presents Paris on one face and Japan on the other and lets the wearer choose the afternoon's allegiance.
The black side is dark and restrained, with two red roses on the chest and, across the back, the word France in coloured thread above an embroidered Eiffel Tower, a windmill, lavender, mountains and a wave. Reverse it and the tone brightens: white body with green sleeves, two tiger faces on the chest, and on the back a dragon and the outline of Japan with the word Japan stitched above. Both faces are finished with striped rib at the collar, cuffs and hem, and a zip front.

Authenticity & Care
Please ask for the label photographs and garment measurements before purchase, and we will provide them with the full inspection notes. Entrust the piece to a specialist cleaner, avoid pressing the embroidery, and store on a wide hanger so that the ribbing holds its shape.
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.
Every figure above is taken by hand with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Lay a shirt or jacket you already love beside them and allow a centimetre or two of margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size guide to tops and jackets turns pit-to-pit figures into US, UK, EU and Japanese 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.
