A guide for this piece: about $451, 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.

At approximately 57 cm tall, this Louis Vuitton Steamer M41128 has the scale of a substantial travel piece. Its brown Monogram canvas, broad body and worn corners place the emphasis on the individual object's age and condition rather than a pristine finish.

The Piece

Louis Vuitton's history in travel goods gives the Steamer family a particular place in the house's design vocabulary. This example uses Monogram canvas and an expansive, soft-sided silhouette, distinct from the compact proportions of a contemporary everyday handbag. Reference M41128 is the recorded model designation; the identifying details and condition of this particular piece must be assessed separately.

The recorded maximum measurements are approximately 45 cm wide, 57 cm high and 20 cm deep. These are indicative dimensions rather than a fresh independent measurement. The ten existing photographs document the exterior and details of the individual piece. Examine the corners, handles, edges and the interior before deciding whether its size and wear suit the intended use.

Condition

The recorded grade is B. The assessment specifically notes scratches, corner abrasion, overall signs of use and mould. Mould is a material condition concern, not a decorative patina; it may require specialist evaluation and treatment before the bag is handled, stored near other textiles or used for travel. No claim is made that the bag has been cleaned, treated, restored or cleared for immediate use. The photographs cannot establish the absence of odour or hidden deterioration.

Authenticity & Care

Model markings, construction, hardware and material characteristics should be examined together. The recorded marking alone is not proof of authenticity or manufacturing date. Avoid adding moisture or applying household cleaning chemicals to the affected surfaces. A qualified conservation or leather-care specialist should assess any treatment, especially where mould and older materials are involved.

Delivery from Japan

Because of the recorded condition, availability, safe handling and any required treatment need confirmation before a transaction or shipment can proceed. Packing would need to protect the bag's shape and isolate affected material appropriately. Carriage and destination import requirements are assessed for the actual shipment.
