With DAMASK we reached a technical and aesthetical limit in the number of different foils that can be used.

It was time for a more sophisticated challenge:

To go back to the basics and using just one foil -and a lot of imagination- to create a deck of spectacular luxury, an absolute must for every serious collector!

The result was "SILK" playing cards.

The play of light on a background made of incredibly thin lines that imitate the weaving in renaissance silk fabrics, creates an amazing 3D effect that no photo can capture.

Thanks to our workshop and expert plate makers, we're able to produce a deck with such a detail that will take your breath away!

DECK FEATURES:

• Limited edition to 350.
• No other color variations of the deck will ever be printed.
• Tuck case: Black and Gold foil with embossing on black stock.
• 100% custom courts inspired by renaissance engravings
• Gold foil on all cards, front and back
• Amazing handling

There are TWO versions of this deck's tuck box. The EARLIER deck reflects "Manufactured By" The US Playing Card Company on the right side. Later, the tuck box was changed to read US Playing Card Company ERLANGER KY... instead of "manufactured by. A true completionist would want both decks.

Designed and inspired by 5th & Laurel, a historic building in San Diego, California dating back to 1965.

Each playing card box is made of soft but sturdy off-white stock, letterpressed with cobalt blue and warm gold foil — reminiscent of the California ocean with a modern design.

100% Custom Faces

A signature geometric pattern adorns the box and back design. It's 52 bits ofvisual eye candy — especially when fanned or shuffled. Every card features a custom design, front and back.

With striking metallic blue and silver foil, this new edition is our best yet. We've improved our print production and embossing process, and the results speak for themselves: more detailed embossing and crisp design.

With vibrant, striking purple, this new edition is our most elegant yet. Blind-embossed accents across the surface create a 3D texture on the front of the box that feels just as luxurious as it looks. Created in collaboration with JAQK Cellars, an award-winning winery in Napa Valley, California.
