A guide for this piece: about $86, 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 Messenger with a Sweet Tooth
A sober black messenger made absurd by one object: a soft-serve cone laid across the top. It is Mihara Yasuhiro's humour in its plainest form, a working bag that refuses to take itself seriously.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer novelty bags and everyday carry with wit

A black flap messenger bag from the MMY line of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, crowned with a sculpted soft-serve ice cream cone along its top and finished with a printed patch label on the flap.
The Piece
The cone is the signature. Moulded in tan and cream, a soft-serve ice cream rests across the top of the bag, a piece of deadpan humour placed on an otherwise sober, utilitarian shape. It reads as a joke from across a room and as a carefully made object up close.
The body is a soft black woven fabric, cut as a classic messenger with a deep front flap. A white patch label printed in the manner of a shipping tag sits at the lower corner of the flap. The wide black webbing strap runs through a metal slider for length, and a woven 3 MMY tag, marked Maison Mihara Yasuhiro Ready to Wear, is stitched to the strap.
Under the flap, the main compartment is lined in grey with a zipped inner pocket and a stitched white square label carrying the house name. Mihara Yasuhiro has long treated everyday forms as a stage for wit, and this bag carries that habit into the most practical of shapes.
