Is Chubbies the same as Chubbies Shorts?

No. Chubbies (this brand) is a Malaysian plushie maker at shopchubbies.com. We design plushies inspired by Malaysian foods such as nasi lemak, curry puff and teh tarik. Chubbies Shorts is a separate United States apparel brand at chubbies.com and chubbiesshorts.com that sells men's shorts and casualwear. The two brands are not affiliated, do not share ownership, and operate in different countries and categories.

Where is Chubbies based?

Chubbies is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Plushies are designed in-house by co-founder Ian Gan and manufactured overseas, then shipped from Malaysia. We deliver across Malaysia and offer international shipping on request.

Who founded Chubbies?

Chubbies was founded in 2024 by Ian Gan Ming Zhi and Jess Ho Mun Yan, a Malaysian couple who were inspired by food plushies they discovered on a 2022 trip to Bangkok. Their first character, Cara the Curry Puff, remains the brand's best-seller.

What products does Chubbies sell?

Chubbies sells character plushies inspired by Malaysian food and drink. The current lineup includes Cara the Curry Puff, Nyle the Nasi Lemak, Ravi the Roti Telur, Cody the Ice Kacang, Ollie the Otak-Otak, Sofie the Seri Muka, Talia the Ikat Tepi (teh tarik), Polly the Potong Ice Cream and Anky the Ang Ku Kuih, plus Mini and XL versions of Cara. Each plushie now ships with a tag so it can be hung as a bag charm.

What are Chubbies plushies made of?

Every Chubby is made with ultra-soft mochi minky fabric and stuffed with cloud-like filling. Materials are non-toxic and considered safe for children, though we recommend supervision for very young children with any small object.

Where can I buy Chubbies in person?

Chubbies plushies are stocked at TWIGS Bookshop (Sunway 163 Mall, The Curve and Elmina locations), The Paper Clip at The Campus in Ampang, and GiftPortals at 1 Utama Shopping Centre. They are also available online at shopchubbies.com.
