A guide for this piece: about $535, 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.

An OnTheGo PM in red Monogram Empreinte leather covered with Yayoi Kusama’s white dots, with its strap and clochette.

The Piece

In 2023 Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama returned to the partnership they began in 2012, carrying her painted dots, pumpkins and flowers across the house’s leathers and canvases. The OnTheGo, a structured two-handle tote, carries the dots across embossed Monogram Empreinte leather.

This example has silver-tone hardware and is described in Japan as made in France. It comes with its shoulder strap and clochette, with the light wear noted below.

At 25 cm wide and 19 cm tall, the PM suits a smaller wardrobe of essentials. The strap adjusts from 94 to 110 cm, and the red embossed leather keeps the white dots crisp against the ground.
