Strap the Playful: Watch Pairings Inspired by LABUBU’s Most Iconic Looks

What happens when a cultural icon from the world of designer toys meets the timeless language of watchmaking?

LABUBU, the mischievous forest creature imagined by artist Kasing Lung, has taken the collectible scene by storm. With each limited release, its distinct color palette and cheeky personality have made it more than just a toy — it's a canvas of style.

This time, we took inspiration from five of LABUBU’s most talked-about editions to create bold, personality-driven strap and watch combinations. From soda-fresh tones to street-cool contrasts, these looks are all about wearable individuality.

Arguably the most iconic LABUBU ever released, this pale mint edition once fetched over $170,000 at auction. Its color scheme? Breezy mint green paired with soft milky white — a palette that feels like sipping chilled soda on a summer afternoon.
