A guide for this piece: about $239, 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 Pochette Kirigami from the 2023 Louis Vuitton × Yayoi Kusama collaboration, reference M81959: three nesting envelope pouches in Epi leather, each printed with white or black Infinity Dots.
The Piece
The largest pouch is black with white dots, the middle one yellow with black dots, and the smallest red with white. Each folds like a paper envelope and closes with a single press stud, so the three can be carried one inside another or used apart as clutch, pouch and card case.
The grained Epi leather takes the dots in clean, slightly raised print. Inside each flap is the pumpkin-shaped stamp of the collaboration with both names and the year 2023. The interiors match the outer colours, and a cotton dust bag with the same stamp is shown.
