A guide for this piece: about $564, 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 Keepall Tote in embossed Monogram Taurillon leather, dyed in a gradient from bright green to cobalt blue, with its shoulder strap.

The Piece

The Keepall has been the house’s travel holdall since 1930. The Keepall Tote keeps its rolled handles and luggage tag on a flatter, upright body, and the Taurillon Illusion finish washes the embossed Monogram leather from green into blue.

This example has silver-tone hardware, a blue lining and an RFID chip in place of a date code. The name tag is hot-stamped with initials, and it comes with its shoulder strap.

The tote is 34 cm tall and 16 cm deep, with a zip that opens the top. A shoulder strap adjusts from 88 to 113 cm, and the blue lining picks up the colour of the gradient outside.
