Dutch Card House Co., a playing card company based in Amsterdam, released a popular deck of cards in 2018 called Paisley Playing Cards, featuring a design based on the ancient Persian Paisley pattern. The deck received positive support and multiple series were released, including Metallic Red & Blue, Magical Black & Gold, Christmas, Royals, and Poker. The company is now introducing a new addition to the series, the Paisley Ton sur Ton Playing Cards.
Ton sur Ton is a Dutch fashion term that hints at the combination of similar colors, creating a pleasant matching design of this iconic natural paisley pattern. This series comes in three colorways: Poudre Rouge, Poudre Blue, and Poudre Green. Both Blue and Red are standard editions, while Green is a Kickstarter exclusive edition.
The tuck box for the Blue and Rouge editions comes with an alternative tuck closure. The flap of the box folds over the tuck and slides into the die cut halfway through the tuck. With the illustrious elaborate ribbon banner panning from the top to the back of the box, it compliments the unique design of the flap. The box also comes with embossing on the artwork with silver and rose gold (respectively) foil to add up an extra glamorous look.
The design of the cards is what you would expect in every Paisley Playing Cards series: standards with slight modifications. The back design is a monochrome color of its respective edition, with courts colored either Blue or Rouge based on its edition. These decks will be produced by Legends Playing Cards Co. on their crushed stock with Viper Finish and Diamond Cut, with each edition limited to 700 decks.
Poudre Green Edition features a sideway tuck case – the cards are accessible with a box that opens from the sides. It also features artwork with embossing and green gold foil. The cards are also in the same format as the standard editions, only that it uses the green color scheme to match their name. This deck will be produced by WJPC on their exclsuive paper stock with a butter-smooth finish. This is a Kickstarter-exclusive item, and it will be made based on the order counts in the campaign.
Pledge starts at $18 on Kickstarter. The three decks are also available in Gilded Editions: Poudre Blue with Silver Foil Gilding – Poudre Rouge with Rose Gold Foil Gilding – Pudre Green with Green Foil Gilding. The tuck case for the Gilded Editions will come with custom numbered sealed done in the foil of respective gilding color.
