A guide for this piece: about $298, 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.

An ivory leather shoulder bag cut from patchwork panels, with a gathered top, a double chain strap and an antique gold-tone monogram.
The Piece
Yves Saint Laurent opened his house in Paris in 1961, and the interlaced YSL monogram, drawn that year by the poster artist A. M. Cassandre, has been its signature ever since.
The Jamie is built from angled leather panels whose seams form a faceted surface. The soft body gathers at the top and hangs from two chains, with the monogram in antique gold-tone metal at the front. The lining is black fabric.
A zip pouch comes with the bag.
