Illustrated Playing Cards
A deck of hand-drawn illustrated playing cards from The Island Society, the UK studio that treats a card deck like a small printed object. The face cards have personality. The pip cards hold their own. The back is a pattern designed to be looked at, not just shuffled.
Use it for gin rummy after dinner, solitaire on the train, a teaching deck for a niece, or the kind of cards you leave out on the coffee table because they look better than what was there.
For the host who keeps a deck in a drawer for the right night. For a stocking gift that earns its place. For the friend who would rather play a game than open another candle.
The Island Society draws every deck in-house, with a back design and palette unique to that release.
