Where to find Labubu dolls, crafts in the Lehigh Valley

Labubu dolls, quirky figurines from the designer toy company Pop Mart, are the latest viral collectible making waves in the Lehigh Valley.

Originally launched as part of Pop Mart’s The Monsters series, Labubu dolls are sold in blind boxes, meaning buyers don’t know which character they’ll receive until opening the package.

The element of surprise, combined with limited restocks and growing online demand, has fueled their popularity nationwide.

Pop Mart’s overall revenue doubled in 2024, reaching $1.8 billion, with Labubu dolls driving a quarter of that growth. On TikTok Shop, U.S. sales of Pop Mart products increased by more than 1,000% year-over-year.

Rare figures can resell for up to $425 on online platforms.

Now, some Lehigh Valley collectors say the craze has arrived locally — and fast.

“They’re definitely something that’s hitting the Lehigh Valley right now,” said Frank Petronis of Nazareth. He and his wife, Jennifer, sell Labubu-themed pens and keychains through live shows and a vendor booth at the Palmer Park Mall. “They’re very hot.”

Here are a few places in the Lehigh Valley where you can find Labubu dolls or Labubu-inspired crafts:

Buyer’s Tip: Be on the lookout for knock-offs and replica Labubus — always verify the Pop Mart holographic seal and buy from authorized retailers to ensure you’re getting the genuine product.

Showcase – Lehigh Valley Mall, Whitehall

This novelty and collectibles shop claims to carry official Pop Mart blind boxes, including Labubu. Employees confirmed that the dolls are available in-store, but they tend to sell out quickly.

Because Pop Mart’s physical retail stores are primarily located in Asia and major U.S. cities, Showcase is one of the few in-person options in the region.

Bethlehem Township resident Nicole Woolf, who first saw the dolls on TikTok, said she now purchases them directly from the Pop Mart website, but it’s a challenge.

“They always seem to be sold out,” Woolf said. “It can sometimes take several hours because a lot of people use bots or software to automatically reserve boxes as soon as they restock.”

She said she initially thought the dolls were “ugly,” but they grew on her. She now resells extras through Facebook and Discord to help offset the cost of collecting.

“They have that ‘so ugly it’s cute’ factor,” she said. “And there’s excitement in finally getting the one you wanted or a rare ‘secret’ Labubu.”

Made to Bead – Vendor booth at Palmer Park Mall

Run by the Petronis family of Nazareth, Made to Bead offers handmade keychains and pens featuring miniature Labubu figures. Although they don’t sell full-size dolls, the accessories have become popular among both children and adults.

The family also sells items through the live-auction app Whatnot.

“My 11-year-old daughter and her friends love them, but I also had a mom in her 40s send her husband over the second I put a Labubu keychain up for sale,” Jennifer Petronis said.

“It’s a nice, fun summer thing to get into,” she added. “To find something that’s hitting both kids and adults at the same time is pretty difficult to do.”

StackSoles Vault – East Third Street, South Bethlehem

StackSoles, a sneaker and streetwear boutique located at 316 3rd Street in Bethlehem, has carried Pop Mart blind boxes and collectibles, including Labubu dolls, depending on availability.

Though inventory may vary, it’s one of the few local spots where customers might find figures without resorting to international shipping or resale platforms.

Quakertown Farmer’s Market

The Quakertown Farmer’s Market is known to have at least one vendor selling the latest trending fads and items.

Since supply is low, be cautious of authenticity when purchasing goods from third-party vendors at markets like this.

You may be able to find an acceptable replica or knockoff for a low price, but keep in mind that authentic merchandise will always have factory and authenticity seals, so be aware of what to look for.
