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 black rucksack in grained Taurillon leather embossed with the Monogram, closed by a flap and drawstring and finished with orange studs.
The Piece
The Christopher is a rucksack shape in Louis Vuitton’s range for men, closed under a flap and a drawstring, with a buckled pocket on each side of the front.
Taurillon Monogram is grained calf leather with the house pattern pressed into the surface, so the Monogram reads by relief and not by print. Here it is worked in black, with two orange studs on the straps, and the padded shoulder straps and top handle are cut from the same leather.
The inside is lined in grey textile, and the piece is shown with its measurements.
