Authorities are allegedly taking to the streets to crack down on the fashion statement in a bid to stop people from copping Kim Jong-Un’s style.
Following the North Korean leader’s 2019 TV appearance donning a trench coat, stores were apparently inundated with faux leather versions imported from China.
The cheaper alternatives cost around £12 ($16), making them accessible to many.
Genuine leather, however, is only attainable to the rich at the cost of £25.50 ($34) – taking into consideration the average 2018 North Korean monthly salary was said to be 50p ($0.66), according to South Korean newspaper, Korea Joongang Daily.
