ana tomy
ana tomy is the brainchild of The Alphabet Press, founded in 2016 on the ethos that “it’s weird not to be weird” – words that greet you in bright neon pink letters at the front of the store.
Based on that ethos, this award-winning notebook atelier offers notebooks, journals, and planners which can all be personalised to the buyer’s preference, from the colour of the cover and spine, to the type and number of page insets, to adding a monogram on the cover. Besides their notebooks, ana tomy also stocks a rotating inventory of products from other independent creatives, such as tote bags, clothing items, postcards, and more. They also frequently collaborate with other creatives to produce unique, limited edition notebook covers.
INKAA
Inkaa is a social enterprise which collaborates with local artisans and organisations supporting marginalised communities to produce beautiful, handcrafted batik and mengkuang products. Run by Muizz and Ludo, you’ll find them in their showroom on the top floor of Block 82, along with their array of goods such as t-shirts, wallets, and bags printed in batik designs, along with mengkuang bags and mats. Each of their products is hand-signed by their maker, and Inkaa is as much a medium for telling marginalised stories as it is a clothing brand.
