A person attempted to obtain a Labubu on a quiet weekday morning in Manhattan. Labubus are cutesy monster dolls created in 2015 by Hong Kong-born designer Kasing Lung and mass marketed by Pop Mart in 2019. K-pop star Lisa shared her collection in 2024, triggering a surge in popularity. Labubus feature pointed teeth, rabbitlike ears, glaring eyes, and fur-covered bulbous bodies. The toys appear as accessories or handheld pets and exist in over three hundred collectible forms that match moods or styles. Limited editions sold out rapidly, and widespread scarcity pushes collectors to seek vending machines and cafe claw games.
Labubus have pointed teeth, rabbitlike ears, and wide, glaring eyes. Their faces and extremities are bare; the rest of their bulbous bodies are covered in a layer of fur. The creatures are usually found hanging from phones or handbags-tiny demons haunting our accessories-or clutched as a kind of pet. They come in a menagerie of more than three hundred collectible forms.
They can be matched to a personal style or mood: pink fur for when you're feeling flirty; glowing red eyes for a bit of an edge; Dress Be Latte-scarved for a cozy vibe. The high-end art fair Art Basel released a limited-edition art-handler Labubu, a batch of which sold out in twenty minutes. As a result of their popularity, Labubus are difficult to get hold of, often out of stock both online and in physical stores.
