News Kim Jong Un and sister sport favorite luxury watch, bag during China tripSiblings flex with IWC Schaffhausen and Lady Dior goods even as North Korea preaches against capitalist culture
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his powerful sister Kim Yo Jong once again sported their favorite luxury watch and bag brands during activities in China on Wednesday, NK News analysis shows, despite Pyongyang’s own crackdowns on attributes of capitalist culture. A photo released by the Kremlin shows Kim hugging Vladimir Putin after their talks in Beijing, with the DPRK leader flashing what appears to be an IWC Schaffhausen Portofino Automatic wristwatch. Kim’s model, if original, comes in an 18-carat red gold case and currently retails for $14,100 on the Swiss manufacturer’s website. © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
