Bicycle Sari - Sari (Garden Edition) Playing Cards

A Celebration of Artistry

The Bicycle Sari-Sari ("variety") Playing Cards deck is like a raucous party for your eyes, honouring the colourful creativity of 55 cracking artists from the Philippines. This spirited collaboration features toy designers, illustrators, graffiti artists, and a lively mix of creatives who’ve turned each card into a piece of personal flair (and probably a few intriguing conversations). The outcome? A deck that’s not just about playing cards but about celebrating the quirks and brilliance of individuality.

Artistry in Every Card

Each artist had the delightful task of transforming a card into their own mini masterpiece. With their unique characters and styles, they've spun together a deck that tells 55 distinct stories, each card bursting with personal creativity. From the intricately detailed to the audaciously bold, every card is a peek into the artist's imagination. It’s not just a deck for shuffling; it’s a veritable gallery of artistry contained within 52 cards, two Jokers, and a back design (because who doesn’t love a good back?).

Global Inspiration, Local Soul

These artists are not just names; they’re celebrated modern toy creators whose works have graced galleries and exhibitions across the globe (not to brag, but they’re kind of a big deal). Known for their collaborations with major brands, they’re always pushing the limits of art and culture. The Bicycle Sari-Sari Playing Cards encapsulate that same global inspiration with a local twist, honouring a vibrant artistic legacy that resonates far and wide (and probably has a decent Instagram following too).

Garden of Whimsy

The back design is a vivid pop-art escapade through a fantastical landscape filled with cheeky characters and lively natural elements. With bold colours and imaginative details, it brings mountains, clouds, and a gleeful sun into view, creating a scene that’s as magical as it is inviting (seriously, you might want to visit). Each character contributes to an overarching theme of interconnected stories and unrestrained creativity.

Oh, and let’s not forget Valvee's Queen of Hearts, “Kaleidoscope of Hearts,” an exclusive card in the Garden edition. This beauty features geometric shapes with kaleidoscopic symmetry, perfectly embodying balance and duality, so you can impress your mates with your art knowledge (and card tricks).

Premium Quality, Unmatched Craftsmanship

Printed by The United States Playing Card Company, the Bicycle Sari-Sari Playing Cards are crafted on Bicycle's legendary stock with their signature air-cushion finish, ensuring smooth handling and durability (because nobody wants a dodgy deck). Sticking to Bicycle’s high standards since 1885, this deck isn’t just for the collectors; it’s made for playing, admiring, and cherishing for many moons to come.
