Beloved Hong Kong–born artist Kasing Lung is bringing his whimsical world of “The Monsters” into the world of French luxury. In celebration of Labubu’s 10th anniversary, Lung has partnered with heritage Maison Moynat on a capsule collection of handbags and small leather goods featuring his signature characters Labubu, Zimomo, and King Mon.
The collaboration, set to debut in early October in Shanghai, marks the first time Lung’s artwork has appeared on leather goods.
When is it available to shop?
The collection will be available from 11 October 2025 until early 2026 only.
Following its debut in Shanghai, Paris and Taipei, the collection will be available to purchase in Hong Kong from 5 December 2025. The launch will feature exclusive, limited-edition embroidered charms and little suitcases, along with a special installation and pop-up in BELOWGROUND and Moynad Boutiques at Landmark Hong Kong.
Can I shop the collection online?
Maison Moynat does not currently offer an e-commerce service on their website, so shoppers will need to visit one of their boutiques in Shanghai, Paris, Taipei or Hong Kong to purchase from the collection.
What's in the capsule collection?
From mini trunks to passport holders, M canvas, Tote bags, the Hobo bag, Mini 48h and the exclusive Mignon bags, the pieces spotlight Moynat’s renowned craftsmanship while capturing the playful spirit of Lung’s illustrations. Highlights include two-dimensional bag charms and M Canvas bags, where the brand’s archival monogram is reimagined with colorful prints of Lung’s fantastical creatures.
So far, the collection reveal online features the actress Michelle Yeoh, the actor Tony Leung, fashion editor Carine Roitfeld, and Danseur étoile of the Paris Opera Ballet, Guillaume Diop.
For Lung, the partnership feels like a natural extension of his art. “The reason I accepted is because they are making such high-quality products, made by hand like my paintings. I think it’s very matching,” he explained during a preview in Paris. He praised Moynat’s ability to reproduce his vibrant colors with remarkable precision, noting how seamlessly the designs blended with the maison’s heritage motifs.
Though Labubu was originally conceived as a side character in Lung’s “Monsters” trilogy, the character has emerged as a global phenomenon. Her mischievous charm has captured the hearts of fans from children to fashion luminaries, including Marc Jacobs and Blackpink’s Lalisa. Plush versions and charms sold through Pop Mart have only fuelled demand, with fans eagerly awaiting Lung’s foray into luxury.
The artist, who takes inspiration from Nordic folklore and childhood favourites like The Smurfs, views the collaboration as another avenue for storytelling. “All my picture books and figurines are storytelling. The project with Moynat is storytelling,” he said.
