It’s difficult to put my finger on a story like this. These are designer jeans available at approximately $200 a pair, manufactured in North Korea. Only 1100 pairs were made. Their homepage even had a section asking “are these ethically viable?” and the answer is “no, probably not, but the North Koreans hadn’t heard of a code of conduct till we arrived, so we impressed them with that idea at least.” So, if you’ve got money to burn, would like some European looking pants made in a North Korean sweatshop purely for that macabre novelty value, check out their website.
