Do You Labubu?

No for me.

I'm known to carry cute charms on my bags sometimes, and I like most cute Chinese/Japanese/Korean mascots. I'm typing this while resting my head on my Mimikyu plush and leaning the tablet on a giant Jinbeisan plush, glancing over at my collection of hand sanitizer holders from Bath and body works (cute AND convenient!)

But this one just doesn't do it for me... Not sure why.
 
Do You Lababu?

Why?

Why not?

Super popular in China, but to me, feel a bit weird, I feel they are childish and cheapened the bag, if less expensive bag, I probably wouldn’t mind seeing them together, but I wouldn’t put them on my designer bags.

I do put charms or designer accessories on bags such as LV charm twilly on LV bags.
 
At first, it was a no for me. I remember walking past a PopMart boutique while traveling and there was a huge line. This was in 2024 on a rainy day.
I didn't get it (little did I know, lol). Never really paid attention to them.
A few weeks ago I suddenly spotted a lilac purple one, called Zizi. I thought it looked so incredible cute. And there it was, it has grown on me, heck, I even fell in love with it. Who would have thought that 👀?
But still, little did I know. I thought it would be as easy as going to the website, place an order and voilà 🤓. Imagine my face watching the website for days and none Labubu available. Not a single one...

I've read people saying that restocks would happen on Thursday.
Then, on a Thursday, I went to their website around 04:30 AM with a sleepy head.
To get a sleepy Zizi. Still no luck. I was getting incredibly sleepy, but still no sleepy Zizi for me 😴.
Also, no PopMart store close to me. Then I explored the resellers. Found out there were many Lafufu too...yikes.
Finally I saw a French reseller with some good reviews and he had a Zizi.
So now my first Labubu is on its way to me, the sleepy Zizi 🥰. Hope it is a good one, can't wait, already bought some clothes for Zizi too 😁.
I would like a Baba or a Secret as well, hope to score a set on PopMart one day.

So never say never, I have been bitten by the bug and I can't wait for the cute Zizi. And I love the lilac color.

Yay for Zizi! :yahoo: I can't wait to see
 
Hehe, thank you. I definitely embrace the bag charm life! I think I have a charm from all the different waves of trends.

1) The Fendi Monster I named Schmidty, who had his own lil thread…

2) Thomas the Burberry bear who was sadly decapitated in the airport en route to Milan…

3) Franz, my favourite ever-so-chic apres-ski Prada bear who was stolen off me surreptitiously on Bond Street…

Hahaha, my sister called them lil furry demons, and I said better the fluffy demon I know rather than, well, anything else!

Bag-charm-ception!
That's terrible your bear was stolen!! I know it won't be the same but hope you can find a replacement when you least expect it.

Ok, fine! Now I am obsessed. I stood in line like a little girl and was immediately schooled that I cannot just go in and buy one off the shelf. Ha, you would think I would know better because I am an Hermes fan. Oh well, I now have another strange obsession. PopMart Century City. Oh, the big one with the wings and silver painted toes♥️

DH listened to my rant about people using Labubu (as cute as they are) or anything else as bag charms and promptly ordered Lychee for me. I'll find a place to show her off but it definitely will not be on one of my bags :wink:
Your DH is so cool. My DH asked me how a Labubu is different from a Teletubby🤣🤣🤣. How dare he. I told him to bite his tongue.
 
I couldn’t wait to unwrap mine in the car :lol:. This was the only one my store offered on IG and I am quite pleased with her even though she is not pink (my favorite color). It was my first time visiting a PopMart. Didn’t have time to look around to see if the accessories or clothings for Labubu.
