about 852prints

Founded in January 2020 by Krystal Tolani Motwani, 852prints is a Hong Kong-based print & design studio behind cheeky greeting cards, quirky apparel, and gifts you'll want to keep for yourself. 

A third culture kid with Indian roots, a Hong Kong childhood, and ties to the UK, Krystal brings that mix into every piece — steeped in nostalgia, humour, and in-the-know detail only a local would catch.

What began as a love letter to Hong Kong has since grown more pan-Asian in spirit, without losing the puns or the heart that started it all.

Along the way, 852prints has designed for Benefit Cosmetics, Young Master Brewery, and A Spark of Madness, and been featured in Tatler Asia, SCMP, Time Out HK, Lifestyle Asia, Sassy, and Honeycombers.

852prints strives to be as green as a small business can be. This means we opt for local manufacturers (where possible), create less waste by producing in limited runs, and only use natural or recycled fibers for our apparel and greeting cards (0% polyester/acrylic, thanks!).
