Hello!

Hi, I'm Nina!

I'm the maker behind 852Tufting, where I transform ideas, memories and everyday objects into handmade rugs. Born in Hong Kong and now based in the UK, many of my designs are inspired by the things I grew up with—from nostalgic Hong Kong icons to gaming, pop culture, and everything in between.

What I love most is creating pieces that hold personal meaning. Whether it's a favourite childhood memory, a beloved pet or a design that simply makes you feel at home, knowing that something I've made becomes part of someone's story is what makes this work so rewarding.

Why 852?

852 is Hong Kong's international dialing code—a tribute to where I was born and the culture that continues to inspire many of my designs.

852Tufting creates handmade tufted rugs inspired by Hong Kong culture, nostalgia, gaming, pop culture and personal memories. Based in Liverpool, UK, I also create custom rugs designed around your ideas.
