Coca-Cola

So if you are in North Korea and are craving a good cold Coca-Cola, you will have to wait till you are out of the country to have it because it is banned in North Korea! However, it is reported that some upscale shops in Pyongyang sell Coke that is produced in China.

Designer shoes

Why do you need designer shoes when you can wear your old slippers and go to your daily wage work? Designer shoes are not available except in the regions bordering China, which may have Chinese-made high heels for sale.

Western fashion

Their leader literally hates western culture. even western fashion is not allowed.

Starbucks

Since they dislike western culture so much, it shouldn't be a surprise that they wouldn't like western products. Starbucks for example! In case you wanna have coffee, visit their local cafe!

Western magazines

Another western product that is not allowed is entertainment magazines. There are no lifestyle magazines, and the only ones that a North Korean may read will be of an educational or political "juche" character.

Apple Products
