North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui appeared toting a handbag worth over $3,500 during a trip to China on Saturday, despite sanctions prohibiting the export of luxury goods to the regime and state media warnings against capitalist consumption.

Choe carried a black bag resembling a Yves Saint Laurent’s (YSL) Sac de Jour while accompanying North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his one-day trip to the Chinese border city of Dandong, according to Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) photos and Korean Central Television footage released Sunday.

The leather bag designed in France and made in Italy retails for $3,550,
