A guide for this piece: about $596, 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.

A Sac Plat tote in Monogram Eclipse canvas printed with Yayoi Kusama’s painted dots in black, grey and white.

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 Sac Plat, a flat shopping tote first made in 1968, takes her painted dots on the darker Monogram Eclipse canvas.

This example is described in Japan as new, a display piece, and is marked made in Italy. It has a detachable strap with nine settings and comes with its box, which has a small tear, its dust bag and strap.

The tote measures 35 by 38 cm and only 8 cm deep, a slim shape that carries papers or a tablet. The strap adjusts across nine settings, and the painted dots in black, grey and white cover the canvas.
