A guide for this piece: about $69, 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.

The larger Trousse Toilette 28 in Monogram canvas, made in France in 1988. Roomy enough for a full travel kit, and often carried today as an oversized clutch.

The Piece

Louis Vuitton has made Monogram toiletry cases since the early twentieth century, when trunks were fitted with matching vanity pieces. The Trousse Toilette carries that tradition in its simplest form: coated Monogram canvas, a wraparound zip and a single open pocket inside.

Vintage examples like this 1988 piece are prized for their sturdy canvas and the straightforward construction that has made them last for decades. The 28 cm size holds a full set of travel essentials or a tablet and cables.
