If Labubu feels a little been there, done that, don’t worry—your bag can still steal the spotlight. We’ve listed down the chicest, cutest, and most covetable luxury bag charms that aren’t Labubu but will still take your accessory game to the next level.
Labubu dolls from Kasing Lung’s The Monsters collection have become the hottest accessory of 2024, claiming prime real estate on designer bags and Instagram feeds alike. What started as a trend—sparked, of course, by BLACKPINK’s Lalisa Manobal—has evolved into a full-blown fashion phenomenon. Labubu and her quirky monster crew are now the cool kids of the luxury bag charm world, holding their own in front rows, flexing their adorably odd faces, and earning collectors’ status faster than you can click ‘add to cart.’
That said, let’s be honest: if you don’t already have a Labubu, getting your hands on one feels like trying to find a seat at a sold-out BLACKPINK concert. Many of the most coveted Labubu series are perpetually sold out on Pop Mart, leaving only the secondary markets—where prices can get a little monster-sized, if you know what we mean.
So, what do you do if you’re ready to up your bag game but Labubu feels a little overplayed (or you just don’t have the patience for the hunt)? You turn to these luxury bag charms, of course. Equally chic, just as adorable, and 100% status-symbol-approved, these little beauties are here to help your bag stand out from the crowd—no monsters required.
Here’s our roundup of the best luxury bag charms that aren’t Labubu, but still pack major style points. Your handbag will thank you later.
