And for a lot of people buying a Labubu, it’s a trip down memory lane, a sense of nostalgia if you will.

“These soft, playful objects evoke feelings of safety, care, and nostalgia, things that might’ve been missing or cut short in early life,” Dr King added to Tyla.

“This is inner child work in action.”

The psychologist also believes the trend will be going nowhere anytime soon.

“As long as society remains fragmented, and demanding, people will continue to seek soft, small, symbolic ways to feel better,” Dr King added.

“Trinket culture is a response to burnout and disconnection. It’s not a shallow trend. It’s a psychological response to the demands of modern life.”
