What Ana Tomy is known for
Ana Tomy is a Kuala Lumpur stationery and accessories brand founded in 2016 by Cliff Leong, Fidella Ch’ng and Zeejay Wong. Its custom journals let customers choose the cover and paper inserts, then select accessory colours, with refills forming part of the range. Bags and other accessories sit alongside the notebooks, while licensed collections belong to particular releases rather than permanent stock guarantees.
Ana Tomy was founded in Kuala Lumpur in 2016 by Cliff Leong, Fidella Ch’ng and Zeejay Wong. Its stationery starts with choices the customer can make: a journal cover, the paper inserts inside and the colours of its accessories. That approach gives the notebook a practical purpose beyond choosing a pattern from a shelf.
The brand's made-to-order journal system sits alongside bags and other accessories, with refills available too. The materials are sourced internationally, so Malaysian design should not be confused with a claim that every component originates in Malaysia. Refills are part of the offer, allowing the paper choice to remain a consideration after the first purchase.
In 2023, Malay Mail reported on the founders' licensed Mandalorian collaboration and photographed them at the Zhongshan Building shop in Jalan Kampung Attap. That collection is part of the brand's history, not a promise that its items remain in stock. For a notebook you plan to use daily, start with how you write or organise pages, then choose the cover and accessories around that use.
