A guide for this piece: about $194, 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 Zippy Organizer in Damier canvas crossed by a red and blue stripe, with one of the Chapman Brothers' bug-eyed zebras across the front, from Kim Jones's safari season for Louis Vuitton.

The Piece

For his Spring-Summer 2017 men's collection, Kim Jones invited the British artists Jake and Dinos Chapman to redraw the animals of the African plains he grew up among. Their elephants, giraffes and zebras arrived bug-eyed, tongues lolling, printed over the house's own canvases.

Here the zebra and its tricolour stripe sit on Damier Ebène, so the joke stays inside a very correct object: Louis Vuitton's long zip-around wallet.

The interior heat stamp reads "Louis Vuitton Paris, made in Spain", and the date code CA4176 places its making in the forty-seventh week of 2016. It measures about 21 cm across and comes with its box and dust bag.
