The Pyongyang Department Store No. 1 in North Korea was reported to be openly selling counterfeit foreign luxury items, according to the DPRK Today, a Chinese-based North Korean propaganda outlet.
Found displayed at a stand installed within the department store were Chanel logo-printed bags, fake Burberry bags, perfume bottles copying Dior’s design, and shoes counterfeiting Japanese sports brand ASICS’ design.
Pyongyang is apparently showcasing the quality improvement of its consumer goods, claiming that all of the displayed items were made using its own technology and capabilities.
Maeari, another propaganda media, stressed that all of the displayed items from shoes to clothes and groceries were of North Korean brands.
Pyongyang faces strict import restrictions due to international sanctions and should improve its capability of producing consumer goods for itself.
North Korea appears to have chosen the ‘shortcut’ of counterfeiting famous foreign designs to market some attractive items quickly.
