Here’s where to get Labubu in Toronto

If you’re looking for Labubu in Toronto, you’d be surprised at how many local shops, cafes and even restaurants are unexpectedly stocking up on the viral toy-turned-fashion-accessory.

If you haven’t heard of Labubu yet, all you need is a cursory Google search to show you that the collective fluffy monsters are everyone’s latest obsession, talked about everywhere from Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue to NPR and Business Insider.

Of course, countless celebrities and influencers are all over the trend, with the figurines taking over purses across the world as quirky little bag charms (the most popular way to style them) in recent weeks.

And naturally, with all of the fanfare, the primary place to nab Labubu, Chinese toy retailer Pop Mart, often sells out within seconds of a new release.

So, here’s a non-exhaustive list of places you can buy the viral evil elves in person in and around Toronto right now. (Please note that many have a very limited selection, some are regularly selling out, and some may not be authorized or official dealers.)
