A guide for this piece: about $546, 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.

The Alma BB from Louis Vuitton's collaboration with Takashi Murakami, in black Epi leather with gold-tone hardware, its front brightened by a multicolour monogram and a panda charm. Unused, with a shoulder strap and padlock set.
The Piece
The Alma has been a signature silhouette of the house since the 1930s, a domed top-handle bag whose rounded shoulders are instantly recognised. In its BB size it is compact enough for an evening yet still holds the essentials, and the textured Epi leather gives the dark body a fine horizontal grain that catches light without a trace of fuss.
Here the restraint of the black grain is set against the exuberance of Takashi Murakami, whose colourful monogram and smiling panda bring a note of pop humour to the front of the bag. The effect is a collector's piece that still reads as a refined everyday bag, with the playful elements concentrated on a single face and the back left calmly plain.
Measured flat: width 23.5 cm (9.3 in), height 17.5 cm (6.9 in), depth 11.5 cm (4.5 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 3 cm (0.5 to 1 in).
