pop mart’s monsters by kasing lung have taken the world of designer toys and fashion accessories by storm. originally brought to life through three enchanting picture books inspired by nordic mythology, these magical creatures—both charming and eerie—were affectionately named the monsters. kasing lung, a celebrated hong kong artist, created this whimsical universe where good and evil coexist in stunning harmony, capturing the imagination of collectors and fashion lovers alike.
what started as a cult favorite among art toy enthusiasts has now become a must-have charm for handbags. these miniature monsters are not just cute—they’re a statement. frequently spotted dangling from the bags of top fashion influencers and even movie stars, pop mart’s monsters have become an iconic blend of playful art and high fashion.
due to their handcrafted appeal and limited availability, these charms are almost always out of stock. the growing demand, paired with kasing lung’s storytelling genius and nordic-inspired designs, has made them one of the most coveted collectibles in the market today.
while Labubu may be the star of the show, it’s not the only adorable charm turning heads. pop mart also brings to life other iconic characters like monchhichi, miffy, hello kitty, and crybaby—each one adding its own playful touch to any look. these charms aren’t just collectibles; they’re a lighthearted, expressive way to style your bag. in fact, we couldn’t resist giving crybaby a little makeover ourselves—styling it with CINCO items for a look that’s equal parts cute, bold, and fashion-forward.
