Wales’ First POP MART Officially Launches at St David's Cardiff
Global sensation POP MART is now officially open in St David’s Cardiff.
Launching at the city shopping centre, the new POP MART brings plush pendants, dolls, accessories, and exclusive figures, including its cult-worthy Labubu figures, to Wales for the very first time.
The new 2,529 sq ft store offers an immersive retail experience to fans and collectors, showcasing the brand’s iconic ranges on signature colourful displays.
Famed for its designer collectibles, POP MART has built up a massive global following by blending contemporary art, pop culture and the thrill of the unknown. The brand specialises in ‘blind boxes’ – sealed packaging containing a mystery collectible figure from highly sought-after designer toy lines.
Character universes available in the St David’s Cardiff store include:
• THE MONSTERS: Mischievous but kind-hearted characters created by artist Kasing Lung, including the sharp-toothed Labubu.
• SKULLPANDA & HIRONO: Edgy, artistic and expressive figures that appeal to design enthusiasts.
• CRYBABY: Emotional characters which embody deep inner feelings.
With more than 500 physical stores across 30 countries worldwide, the Cardiff launch marks the 17th physical UK store in the UK.
Located in the upper level of the Grand Arcade at St David’s, close to River Island and Zara, the new POP MART is now open.
Helen Morgan, Centre Director of St David’s Cardiff, commented: “Attracting POP MART is a huge win for Cardiff, helping put both St David’s and the city on the map for world-class, immersive retail. With a passionate, global following, this unique brand brings a vibrant new energy to our stellar retail line up.”
