One of the most considered and carefully crafted decks of playing cards we have ever produced - a genuinely limited, entirely British-made artisan collector's edition, hand-finished by us here in Manchester and produced in a small batch print run of 100x decks only - no reprints.
This is not a standard deck of playing cards. It is a small piece of British craft, made the old-fashioned way, in a bold nod to the great trailblazers of the past - the golden era of playing card design & production.
For some time, we have wanted to create a deck of playing cards made entirely here in the UK - from the cards themselves to the tuckbox, from the printing to the finishing. In a market dominated by large overseas print facilities, this presents a genuine challenge, and incurs additional costs, time and work.
Plaid No. 162 features a classic vintage plaid back design in off-white and navy blue; the faces are antique British, with a brand-new Ace of Spades inspired by historical references and finished in the A. Haines style.
The cards are printed by Ivory Graphics – the premier printer of playing cards in the UK, chosen by us after extensive testing of UK printers.
