Set sail with THE definitive nautical deck of playing cards. Designed in collaboration with our in-house artist Gustavo Magalhaes.

We wanted to create a classic deck of cardsreminiscent of vintage designs. We intentionally went this route because of the simple fact that classic designs survive the test of time. Seafarers strike the balance between classic design and our signature vibe. It's low-key, subtle and understated. Seafarers took 6 months to design and was illustrated completely by hand. 

Seafarers features a back design writhing with symbolism, an iconic ace of spades, as well a set of original court cards that tell an enchanting tale. The court cards are all completely custom. The back design’s themes bleed over and give life to these oceanic royals. They are unrestricted by borders, allowing us to take full advantage of the space of the card. By doing this, these courts develop their own distinct and individualistic characteristics. Each suit tells its own story, with each jack, queen and king thematically and symbolically linked. The sea green colour was specifically sampled from our founder James’ hometown in North Queensland Australia. The colour is matched to the colour of the estuarine waters leading to the Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef. 

This tuck box utilises a premium imported cream dyed paper, and utilises a rich sea green colour which is stamped onto the paper stock. It also features a design on the interior of the box.

Proudly printed in the U.S.A on our Crushed Performance Stock and Linen Glide Finish for superior handling and durability. 

FEEL THE DIFFERENCE!
THE BASIS OF QUALITY

Our Crushed Performance stock begins life as two sheets of FSC-Certified paper. They are passed through a press with a black glue core sticking them together. We specify a higher pressure than normal during this process. This results in a remarkably thin stock with superior handling, while retaining the durability our decks are known for.

EXPERIENCE THE GLIDE!
the finishing touch

We utilise a special finish on the surface of our cards. It is applied to the paper's surface by linen rollers, creating dimples that form air pockets between each card. This allows your playing cards to glide and spread with absolute ease. 

Each deck features a security seal, so that you know your cards have not been tampered with. Our seals are perforated, providing an easy way to open your new deck and preserve the seal's art without the need for sharp objects.
