A guide for this piece: about $180, 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.

Brushed Dots on Silk
Painted Dots was the strand of the collaboration that kept the mark of the brush. On black silk the colours sit like wet paint. The pyjama cut makes it as easy as it is vivid.
Best for: Collectors who wear the Kusama collaboration

The long sleeve pyjama shirt from the Louis Vuitton × Yayoi Kusama collaboration, 2023 spring summer, reference RW231J: black Monogram jacquard silk scattered with Painted Dots in many colours. Size 40, described as new with its tag.
The Piece
The dots look brushed by hand, each one slightly uneven at the edge, in red, yellow, green, blue and white. Beneath them the Monogram is woven tone on tone into the black silk, so it appears and fades as the cloth moves.
The shape is a classic pyjama jacket: notched collar, button front, three patch pockets and straight cuffs, all outlined with fine contrast piping. The navy neck label and a swing tag are shown, and a spare button is described as included.
