A guide for this piece: about $1,410, 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 cropped Louis Vuitton varsity blouson in vivid orange wool with white leather sleeves, embroidered with playful puzzle figures and crowned at the back by a rainbow crochet patch. Size 50, unworn, with its hang tag, hanger and garment cover.
The Piece
The Louis Vuitton house has long treated the varsity jacket as a canvas, and this Mini Varsity Blouson is among its most cheerful. The body is cut from saturated orange wool, the sleeves from smooth white leather, and the proportion is deliberately short and relaxed, finishing at the waist in orange rib with white bands. Snap closures run down the front, and the collar is edged with fine white piping.
The decoration is the point. Across the front and both sleeves, small figures built like puzzle pieces are embroidered in blue, yellow, red and green, each one a little different. On the left chest sits a looping Louis Vuitton signature, and a folded paper-plane motif tucks into the collar. Turn the jacket around and the back carries a rainbow and cloud worked in crochet, with a handwritten-style Louis Vuitton signature, the lettering Studio Homme 2ème étage and the date 1854.
Inside, an orange satin lining carries the woven Louis Vuitton Paris label. The jacket is relaxed and cropped in cut, and it is made in Italy.

Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Tokyo and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service, arranged by our Tokyo, Japan concierge team. 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, in centimetres, and Japanese labels often run a size smaller than Western ones. Compare with a piece you already own and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size conversion guide sets Japanese sizes beside US, UK, EU and Asian ones, 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.
