A guide for this piece: about $100, 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 Pumpkin, Worn
The pumpkin is Kusama's most personal emblem. At pendant scale it becomes a charm in the old sense, something kept close.
Best for: Collectors who want the pumpkin itself, not only the dots

Kusama's pumpkin as a pendant: a small ribbed form in blue-green lacquer, beaded with yellow dots, hanging below the LV initials on a silver-tone chain. Reference M01139 from the 2023 collaboration, with its pouch.
The Piece
The pumpkin is modelled in the round, with a short stem and rows of raised dots that follow each rib, as on the sculptures. The LV above it is plain polished metal, which lets the colour speak.
The cotton pouch is printed with a pumpkin outline enclosing Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama 2023. The code DI5202 is given by its present keeper.

Authenticity & Care
Described as an authentic Louis Vuitton piece from the house's collaboration with Yayoi Kusama; the joint signature and maker's marks appear in the photographs. The Desk has not yet handled it, and our curators check every detail in Japan before dispatch. Store it dry in its pouch, away from perfume and moisture, and wipe the metal with a soft cloth after wear.
Delivery from Japan
The piece is packed by hand in Japan, in a padded box. Shipping is quoted and agreed with you before purchase, weighing EMS, then FedEx, then air cargo, all insured and tracked. Duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Length and width are measured by hand, in centimetres, and a chain falls differently on every neck. Lay a chain you already wear along a tape measure and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our necklace length chart shows each length from 40 to 75 cm as it is worn, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
Considered offers are welcome through Send an Offer, and each one is reviewed personally. See more from Yayoi Kusama, or browse what has just arrived.
