Paisley Poker: The Boudoir Collection Playing Cards

Paisley Poker: The Boudoir Collection is a luxury playing card series by The Dutch Card House Company, inspired by vintage textiles, romantic interiors, and the timeless elegance of classic boudoirs.

Expanding the Paisley Playing Cards series, the collection combines ornate paisley artwork with rich color palettes and premium production to create a sophisticated experience for collectors and players alike.

The collection features three distinct editions: the Velvet Edition, a Kickstarter-exclusive deck dressed in deep royal purples, gold accents, and vivid pink details; the Blush Edition, a romantic gilded version inspired by vintage powder rooms and finished with metallic pink edges; and the White Satin Edition, a refined borderless deck that showcases uninterrupted paisley patterns for a striking visual display.

All three editions share the same custom faces, recolored to match their respective themes while maintaining practicality for gameplay, magic, and cardistry. 

Combining vintage charm, luxurious craftsmanship, and the signature Paisley aesthetic, The Boudoir Collection continues the series’ tradition of elegant and highly collectible playing cards. Each deck is printed by WJPC on premium casino-grade black-core stock with a linen butter finish, ensuring excellent handling and durability. Pledge starts at $19 on Kickstarter.

Virtuoso Paths Playing Cards Announced

After teasing the deck over the weekend, Huron Low announced the pre-order of Virtuoso Paths. This deck takes a different approach from many modern custom decks, focusing less on flashy visuals and more on the philosophy behind cardistry itself.

Named Virtuoso Paths, the deck explores the idea that progress in cardistry comes through curiosity, repetition, and exploration rather than chasing recognition or results. This concept is reflected throughout the design, with card backs that change across the deck to create a sense of movement and progression when riffling, spreading, or flourishing the cards.

Several hidden design elements reinforce the theme, including paths that merge together, interlocking shapes that form stars, and custom court cards featuring a symbolic ring at the center of each character.

Beyond the artwork, Virtuoso has placed a strong emphasis on handling. The team spent over a year experimenting with paper stocks, coatings, and cutting methods to create what they describe as one of their most comfortable and controllable decks to date. The deck also includes four extra "star cards" that can be added to adjust the deck's thickness and stiffness to personal preference.

Priced at $15 per deck, Virtuoso Paths is available as a limited printed-to-order release, with production beginning after the pre-order window closes and delivery expected in September 2026.

First Look: Imported (Burgundy Edition) Playing Cards

Launching on Kickstarter this month, from A. Haines Playing Cards Imported (Burgundy Edition) Playing Cards. This rich wine-red reworking of their classic deck, Imported Playing Cards, is a love letter to the golden age of playing cards, and features strong heritage-led design throughout.

Inspired by antique decks of cards from the late 1800s to mid 1900s, and in particular the import stamps and tax wrappers that adorned decks brought from the UK and USA into South America, the Burgundy Edition is about as classic as it gets, with antique faces and an intricate vintage back design made entirely of pattern work and flourishes.

 


The deck is entirely designed and hand-illustrated by A. Haines and will be printed on Legends Viper Finish and housed in a soft-touch tuckbox with an authentic style tax band.



The campaign will feature a limited edition copper-gilded collector’s version and earlybird deals for those who back the campaign in the first 24 hours – your support is always appreciated by the small family team behind A. Haines Playing Cards and they hope to see some of you on launch day! 

Deck View: Rainbow Wheels (Holo Gilded Edition) Playing Cards

Rainbow. Foil. Rare.

The Rainbow Wheels Holo Gilded Edition is a rare and highly sought-after variant of DKNG’s popular Wheels series. Originally intended for release by Art of Play, the deck was ultimately withheld due to minor printing errors, making it an unusual “misprint” edition that remains fully playable despite small flaws, including a blotch on one Joker and a missing pip on the King of Hearts.

The deck features a vibrant rainbow-inspired color palette and stunning metallic rainbow foil card backs. Inspired by the classic Bicycle Rider Back, the Wheels design combines clean geometric lines with a modern aesthetic. The deck includes fully custom courts, pips, and an Ace of Spades, all redesigned to complement the colourful theme. 

The holographic treatment continues with shimmering rainbow gilded edges and an embossed holographic tuck box, sealed with a DKNG Pride sticker. Originally, the tuck boxes were produced in six different colours representing the rainbow spectrum.

Between the rainbow foil backs, holographic gilding, and limited misprint status, the Rainbow Wheels Gilded Edition has become one of the most collectible releases in the Wheels lineup. Printed by Expert Playing Card Co.
