If there\u2019s one thing I love, it\u2019s a cute little monster (just look at my dog, for example)! So when Labubu started trending, I just <\/span>knew<\/span><\/i> I had to get my hands on one! However, it\u2019s almost impossible to snag one from the official Pop Mart store, and buying from resellers comes with the risk of getting a fake one. So, it’s good to know the difference between a real vs fake Labubu!<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sharing some tips I\u2019ve discovered to help you differentiate between a real and fake Labubu. You won\u2019t even need to use a UV light \u2013 you can learn how to spot a fake Labubu by the box before you buy it! Here are my tried-and-true ways to tell if a Labubu is legit:<\/span><\/p>\n

How to spot a fake Labubu? \u2013 Before buying<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Check the box<\/span><\/h3>\n

You can\u2019t inspect the doll without buying it first, but you don\u2019t want to end up with a fake! It helps to know the difference between a real vs fake Labubu through its box. The real box should have a smooth, slightly textured surface with a matte finish, embossed logo, and muted, pastel colours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fake boxes may have a glossy, papery or plasticky finish and bright colours. I also noticed that real Labubu boxes tend to be thicker, and have noticeably better quality printing and material. Fake boxes use thinner materials, and you might even notice the different layers peeling away!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
