Description
A Celebration of Artistry
The Bicycle Sari-Sari (“variety”) Playing Cards deck pays homage to rich and dynamic creativity, brought to life by 55 talented artists from the Philippines. This unique collaboration includes toy designers, illustrators, graffiti artists, and more. The result is a deck that not only highlights each artist’s distinctive style but also celebrates individuality and depth.
Artistry in Every Card
Every artist in this collaboration was given the opportunity to transform a single card into their personal canvas. By integrating their own characters, they’ve crafted a deck that tells 55 unique stories, each card an expression of personal creativity and style. From detailed, intricate designs to bold, graffiti-inspired statements, each card is a window into the artist’s vision. This deck isn’t just for play; it’s a curated gallery of artistry, housed within 52 cards, two Jokers, and a back design.
Global Inspiration, Local Soul
With influence worldwide, many of these artists are celebrated modern toy designers whose works have been showcased in prestigious gallery exhibitions, solo shows, and art events locally and across the globe. Known for collaborations with major brands, they continue to push the boundaries of art and culture. The Bicycle Sari-Sari Playing Cards capture that same global inspiration with local soul, celebrating a vibrant artistic legacy that echoes far and wide.
Garden of Whimsy
The back design features a vibrant pop-art journey through a surreal landscape filled with playful characters and lively natural elements. Bold colors and imaginative details bring mountains, clouds, and a cheerful sun to life, creating a scene that feels both magical and inviting. Each character plays a unique part in the overall theme, drawing viewers into a world of interconnected stories and boundless creativity.
Valvee’s Queen of Hearts, Kaleidoscope of Hearts, is an exclusive card in the Garden edition. Featuring modular geometric shapes with kaleidoscope-like symmetry, it embodies balance and duality, making it a unique addition available only in this version of the Bicycle Sari-Sari deck.
Premium Quality, Unmatched Craftsmanship
Printed by The United States Playing Card Company, the Bicycle Sari-Sari Playing Cards are crafted on Bicycle’s iconic stock with their signature air-cushion finish, ensuring smooth handling and durability. Upholding the Bicycle standard of quality since 1885, this deck is more than just a collector’s piece – it’s a deck built to be played, admired, and cherished for generations to come.
