ONE thing I’ll readily admit is that I am a self-confessed bandwagoner - if there’s a new trend or fad making the rounds, you can bet I’ll be jumping on it.

From making my own version of the viral Dubai-inspired pistachio and knafeh chocolate bar to the iced strawberry matcha latte I’m currently sipping, I love getting on board with whatever the current (and sometimes literal) flavour of the month is.

And my enthusiasm for what my editor affectionately calls “woke nonsense” continues with my recent discovery and now very real obsession with Labubus.

For those unfamiliar with this fuzzy, grinning, almost gremlin-like doll that is currently hanging from the bags of celebrities like Rihanna, Dua Lipa and Kim Kardashian, Labubus are the result of a collaboration between Hong Kong designer Kasing Lung and China-based toy retailer Pop Mart.
