Labubus are slowly taking over. And if you are collecting the cute little friends and attaching them to your bags… you’ll know that they can drain the dirhams.
But, the good news is that the UAE’s official seller of Labubu dolls has dropped its prices amid the surge in popularity (we are so here for this).
The Little Things is the official authorised retailer of POP MART Labubu Dolls in UAE and you can pick up a blind box for Dhs79 at any of TLT stores across the country.
As for the locations, here they are:
Mall of the Emirates – Level 1
Bluewaters Island – Dubai
The Dubai Mall – Level 2.
Labubu (fun fact: they are girls!) recently became mainstream but have around for years, the creatures were first seen in 2015 as part of Hong Kong illustrator Kasing Lung’s story series, The Monsters.
Labubu lives in the forest and is known for her mischievous personality and has won the hearts of many due to her cute looks, bunny-like ears and jagged teeth.
Although Labubu became a well-known way back, it was in 2019 when Lung signed an exclusive licensing agreement with the Chinese toymaker Pop Mart to produce physical products in a blind-box format that the toys really took off.
Since then there have been 300 variations to date and most recently the keychain versions have risen to popularity, known as the The Monsters – Tasty Macarons Vinyl Face Blind Box range, which launched in October 2023.
Why not read this op-ed on the craze? Labubu put me in a chokehold, and honestly, I needed it.
