Guilty as charged! I had three in February, delivered from the UK to Dubai, bought another two in Singapore, ordered another two last week to be delivered to the familial residence in Singapore for future unboxing, and then queued up for another two for myself and one as a gift for a friend in Dubai yesterday…

The two Dubai additions from yesterday!
I am unapologetically leaning into the cute-core moment. I already have a few other plush bag charms (Mofusand for e.g.) before I succumbed to the Labubu craze. Though I am never willing to pay over retail for them!
Also, I do feel that I am rather fond of anything that harks back to my childhood, and I was always in love with plushies as a kid. Carrying these little charms with my luxury bags is a fun little juxtaposition to remind me to not take life too seriously sometimes.
I think that as long as one is not buying them as any sort of investment, thinking that they will hold their value with time, I think it is a fun indulgence, akin to the lipstick effect.
