A guide for this piece: about $42, 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 Peterson 23 low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A11FW702, in black cotton canvas with white toe caps on the hand-sculpted Original Sole. Marked EU 38.
The Piece
The Peterson is the house's reading of the classic canvas court shoe, and the 23 edition keeps it in its plainest dress: black cotton canvas, white contrast stitching, silver eyelets, a rounded white rubber toe cap and flat cream laces.
Then the base gives way. The white Original Sole is shaped by hand, its sidewalls swelling and folding around the foot as though the rubber had been softened by heat and left to set, with a dark line traced along the join. Beneath, a geometric tread carries the MMY mark at heel and forefoot, and the tongue label inside reads Sublime meets Ridiculous.
The most familiar shoe in the wardrobe, slowly melting.

Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
