Labubu is one of the most recognizable characters in the world of designer toys today, and at SneakersJoint we've gathered the products connected with it – from single blind boxes to large collaboration plush toys. Below you'll find the character's story, its signature motifs and practical tips for collectors.
Labubu – Creepy-Cute Charm in the World of Streetwear
Labubu is a character created by How2Work and Kasing Lung that quickly became a phenomenon in the world of collectible figures and streetwear. Its signature look – big eyes, sharp teeth and a mischievous grin – combines creepy-cute charm that fits the aesthetic of modern streetwear perfectly.
Unique Motifs and Classic Logos
Labubu stands out for its distinctive art style, which draws inspiration from Japanese and Western cartoons while also having a dark, fairy-tale vibe. Its signature motif is its fluffy fur, long ears and expressive teeth, which appear not only on figures but also on clothing.
In streetwear, Labubu most often appears on oversized hoodies, T-shirts and accessories, often combined with forest motifs, ghosts or surreal characters. The brand logo often takes a minimalist form, emphasizing the illustrative character of the design.
Collaborations That Caught Attention
Labubu has become an inspiration for many streetwear brands and artistic projects, which has resulted in several key collaborations:
- STAPLE x Labubu – a blend of the iconic style of the pigeon brand with Labubu's charismatic look. The collection included jackets, hats and graphics inspired by urban aesthetics.
- Be@rbrick x Labubu – unique figure editions that became objects of desire for streetwear and designer toy collectors.
- Pop Mart x Labubu – exclusive Labubu mini figures that expanded its image and made it even more recognizable.
- Uniqlo UT x Labubu – an affordable T-shirt collection dominated by colorful, expressive drawings of the character.
Labubu as an Icon of Streetwear Pop Culture
Labubu is a brand that fits perfectly into the growing popularity of artistic streetwear, drawing inspiration from collectible figures and illustration. Its unconventional look and fairy-tale creepiness attract both streetwear fans and collectors of unique items.
Thanks to its recognizable style and numerous collaborations, Labubu has become not only part of the designer toy world but also an important element of modern streetwear.

Labubu collaborations available in the store
The character likes to team up with brands from outside the toy world. In the category you'll find a series inspired by Coca-Cola, The Monsters x Vans Old Skool Monsters Forever plush toy, an edition referencing the One Piece manga, and blind boxes made with the Japanese artist Kow Yokoyama and his Ma.K. universe. Releases like these attract fans of both worlds, which is why they usually disappear from the market quickly.
How do you wear and store Labubu?
Plush Labubu figures with a loop most often end up on handbags and backpacks as keychains – one of the most distinctive trends of recent years. If collector value matters to you, keep the original packaging and store the figures away from direct sunlight. Dust is best removed with a soft brush or a dry cloth.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a blind box and a display box?
A blind box is a single sealed box with a random variant from a given series. A display box is a factory set of several such boxes – in our offer 6 or 10 pieces – chosen by people who want to collect more variants at once.
Is Labubu suitable for children?
Labubu is above all a collectible. The figures contain small parts, so they are not intended as toys for the youngest children.
Can I buy Labubu in the brick-and-mortar store?
Our store in Wrocław at ul. Odrzańska 15 is open Monday through Sunday, 11:00–19:00. It's best to confirm the availability of a specific series beforehand through the contact page.
