The King's Head Playing Cards series pays homage to the golden age of card design — you know, back when style actually meant something. Drawing inspiration from classic United States Playing Card Company decks of the early 1930s, this collection fuses vintage charm with modern craftsmanship, creating a deck made for showing off, using, and yes, collecting (because who doesn’t love a bit of clutter?).
Each deck comes in a stunningly detailed tuck box, flaunts a beautifully illustrated Ace of Spades, and features custom Joker and Thief cards that carry on the brand’s iconic storytelling (plot twist: it’s a good one). The King's Head series adds a sprinkle of old-school luxury to your magic tricks, cardistry sessions, and game nights (because why not play cards like a royal?).
This collection kicked off in Malta, sparked by a vintage cigarette packet from the 1940s — complete with a striking blue and red colour scheme and a royal figure that’s just begging for attention. Artist Felipe Calavanti then brought this vision to life, perfectly capturing the timeless vibe of early 20th-century decks while injecting Joker and the Thief's signature narrative flair (no pressure, Felipe!).
For those who take cardplay seriously, the decks feature a redrawn set of vintage court cards, true to the era that inspired them (and yes, they’ll definitely make you look clever). The artwork reveals the Joker and Thief characters hatching plots to dethrone the King himself, adding a dash of drama and intrigue to every hand dealt (and a decent conversation starter).
Available in four distinct colourways — Red & Blue, Purple & Pink, Black and Gold Foil, and Yellow & Green — the King's Head Playing Cards series is where vintage style meets luxurious design and dependable performance (it’s like a fancy dinner party for your cards).
