A guide for this piece: about $54, 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 Cat Print Leather Shopping Bag by Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO: a white leather tote cut in the shape of an everyday carrier bag and printed with red stripes, a prowling black cat and the line I've Never Been to Me. A snap closes the top.
The Piece
Few things are as disposable as the plastic carrier bag handed over a shop counter, and Mihara Yasuhiro has made a habit of turning the throwaway into something to keep. Here the familiar silhouette, with its cut-out handles and flat, gusset-free body, is rendered in smooth white leather instead.
The front borrows the graphic language of a 1970s record sleeve or a shop bag from an American diner: bold red stripes, a looping script reading I've Never Been to Me, a black cat climbing the edge and the tag line Want the best? across the base. Above the print, the Maison name is stamped in silver beside a press stud, and a second Maison label is set inside. The back carries a plain patch pocket.
