Labubu is a soft toy that resembles a cross between a hare, a monster, and a cute prankster. Created by artist Kasing Lung, it first appeared in 2015 as a character in children’s books. Initially, Labubu was just a drawing — something strange and fabulous at the same time — inspired by Scandinavian legends. In 2019, the Chinese company Pop Mart turned Labubu into a real-life figurine that can be worn, collected, given as a gift, or clipped onto a bag.

Labubu — new controversial trend
The real boom began recently when Lisa from Blackpink appeared on social media with a Labubu. She was followed by Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Emma Roberts. Influencers, stylists, and street fashionistas all wanted a furry friend like this. Now, these animals adorn not only bags but also sneakers, backpacks, and phone cases.
Why is everyone so fascinated by this toy?
Because Labubu is more than just a decoration. It’s reminiscent of childhood, when you wanted to carry your favorite toy with you everywhere you went. It’s also a way to show the world your individuality. Labubu adds a fashionable touch of irony, lightness, and mood to an outfit.
Labubu toys come in a variety of colors and styles, including colored, classic, and those with wings or hats. So everyone can choose the one that suits them. One will be funny, one will be scary, and one will be unbelievably cute. Labubu is now more than just an accessory. It’s a new form of self-expression. It symbolizes that today’s fashion is not about status, but character. It’s about being yourself, standing out, and embracing a little madness.
Only time will tell if this craze will last. For now, though, Labubu is winning new hearts. It seems that this wave is only gaining momentum.
