I'm not sure what's in the air, but it seems that adults right now are obsessing over, well - soft toys.
If you've been on the internet at any time over the past two months, it's likely you've come across Labubus, a hyped-up collectable created by Hong Kong-based artist, Kasing Lung.
The cute yet somewhat creepy-looking collectibles have been around since 2015, though they recently boomed in popularity thanks, in part, to ex-Love Island star Olivia Attwod's obsession with the toy.
With many choosing to sport Labubus on their designer bags and using the collectible as a fashion accessory, the internet has officially gone Labubu crazy, with some resellers asking for as much as £350 for the rarer versions (which retail anywhere between £17.50 to £30).
If you've finally seen the light and want a Labubu to call your own, you might have missed the boat (unless you want to spend hundreds on a resale platform).
Though counterfeit versions of the figures are readily available, authorised sellers such as Popmart, Harrods and Selfridges have had to temporarily pause in-store sales of Labubus following safety concerns after fights broke out in-store (yes, really).
Not to worry, though, if you need your collectible fix or want to accessorize your bag with an equally as cute toy, we've got good news - Jellycat has a wide-range of adorable bag charms and accessories, so you can bedazzle your bags until your heart's content.
