I am not a regular clothes shopper, but, some time ago, I saw very good quality North Korean clothes in a major clothing store here in Brazil. Nice design, good quality and competitive price. The store is part of a multinational chain of stores. Here in Brazil several shops sell lots of imported goods from all over the world, China, Vietnam, India, etc, etc - Here in Brazil there is the largest Japanese community outside Japan and there are many Chinese and Korean too ( all living in good peace, as good neighbours ) - Despite knowing the poor work condition of North Korean workers, it is a way to support them and hope, help them to dream on freedom from their slavery condition.

Should be interesting trying to get a return done.

This is kidding surely. USD 140k revenue in 3 months proves nothing. Except that maybe NK goods have novelty value. Clothes and jewellery boxes - let's see how long they last. and agree, try sending them back to the manufacturer.

Maybe this is North Korea finally (beginning) to open up to Capitalism?

How much of those money actually goes into the workers' pockets?

In today's globalized world, North Korea has what it takes to be a winner.
