A Labubu on your designer bag? Here's what you need to know about the bag charm trend

Bag charms have been an indispensable part of designer handbags for years. From playful keychains and leather tassels to charming trinkets. They give your bag that little bit extra and provide a personal touch. But a new trend has emerged that you might not know about yet: the Labubu. These creatures are unique, rare, and highly beloved among designer bag enthusiasts worldwide.

What is a Labubu?

Labubu is a collectible figurine from the popular The Monsters series by the Asian designer toy brand Pop Mart. These figures are sold in so-called blind boxes, meaning you only discover which figurine you have upon opening. This element of surprise makes Labubu extra exciting and extremely popular among collectors worldwide. Labubu is recognizable by its large ears, mischievous smile, and unique style that ranges from cute to edgy.

Labubu as a bag charm

Increasingly, you see Labubus playfully dangling from high-end designer bags. They are incredibly popular on iconic models such as the Hermès Birkin, Kelly bags, the Chanel Classic Flap, the Louis Vuitton Speedy and Vavin, the Dior saddle bag, or a Gucci Ophidia Boston. It's a playful and original way to personalize your designer bag. The best part? You can style your Labubu exactly as you wish. At Purse Curse, we naturally do this exclusively with authentic designer accessories and jewellery. This way, we turn every Labubu into a true bougie designer fan.

How to style your Labubu on your designer bag?

• Attach your Labubu to the bag: Hang your Labubu on the handle of your bag using the metal ring attached to the Labubu. This looks perfect on models like the Louis Vuitton Speedy or the Gucci Ophidia Boston handbag. Be aware that online you often see Labubus falling off bags this way, so perhaps use an extra clasp for security.
• Use a twilly or bandeau: Wrap a silk designer scarf around your Labubu's body or ears. This gives it a chic designer look that matches your bag. Your Labubu deserves only the best, doesn't it?
• Add designer keychains: Attach your Labubu with a luxury keychain or bag charm from brands like Fendi, Chanel, or Louis Vuitton. It's also great fun to use vintage keychains for this.
• Create a charm cluster: Combine Labubu with other bag charms like tassels, charms, or initials for a playful ensemble. Of course, you can also hang multiple Labubus on your bag. It's nice for them to have a friend, after all.
• Style according to the season: Give your Labubu a floral outfit in spring, sunglasses in summer, or a mini hat in winter. There are no limits to creativity.
• Play with color: Match the colors of your Labubu to your bag for a harmonious look, or opt for the color block method and make it stand out with a bold color. This way, it attracts all attention and shows off your sense of style. Experiment with various bags and Labubus.
• Use earrings as a brooch: Do you want to give your Labubu a true designer look? Dress it in a mini-dress or t-shirt and complete the look with a striking designer earring as a brooch. Think of a vintage clip-on or a subtle logo earring. This instantly gives your Labubu a luxurious appearance. This adds extra flair and makes your figurine truly one of a kind.
