Following a Skullpanda collection and amidst the ever-growing Labubu craze, UNIQLO UT partners with POP MART for a “The Monsters” collection featuring the beloved monster elves leader, Zimomo.
If you’ve seen the craze online surrounding LABUBU, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. With this collaboration with UNIQLO UT, instead of bag charms, they’re about to take the hype up to a next level with exclusive LABUBU merchandise on their products.
If you’ve been anywhere near social media lately, you’ve probably seen the frenzy surrounding LABUBU. From long queues to lightning-fast online sellouts, this cheeky little creature from the whimsical world of THE MONSTERS has become a pop culture phenomenon. But this August, LABUBU is stepping out of the collectible toy cabinet and into your wardrobe—thanks to an exclusive new collaboration with UNIQLO UT.
In a move that’s set to send fans into a fresh wave of excitement, UNIQLO UT has partnered with POP MART and celebrated artist Kasing Lung to launch a clothing collection featuring LABUBU and his equally mischievous MONSTERS crew. Gone are the tiny bag charms and mystery boxes—for the first time, the beloved characters will be emblazoned across wearables like multi-coloured crew-neck sweaters, classic UT tees, and trendy half-zip pullovers.
“The MONSTERS are a bunch of tiny, playful elves that call the Nordic forests their home,” reads UNIQLO UT’s official description. LABUBU, the star of the lineup, is a sprightly, curious elf roughly the size of a house cat. The characters were brought to life by Kasing Lung, a Hong Kong-born, Belgium-based illustrator and acclaimed picture book artist whose surreal, expressive style has found fans across the globe.
The designs are whimsical yet wearable, featuring Lung’s signature hand-drawn sketches, layered collages, and unique typography. Offered in Women’s and Kids’ sizes, the collection is designed to be fun, bold, and full of personality—much like LABUBU himself.
The POP MART THE MONSTERS x UNIQLO UT capsule collection is set to drop across Asia this August. Prices start at $79 HKD (approximately RM42.80) for kids’ graphic tees and go up to $199 HKD (approximately RM107.80) for Women’s half-zip sweatshirts. With the fanbase as dedicated as ever, expect these pieces to fly off shelves—just like LABUBU always seems to do.
