Lepidopterist is the study of butterflies and within this luxurious deck, we invite you to explore the natural beauty of nature combined with architectural details inspired by the elegant Art Nouveau era of the early 1900s. Originally released on Kickstarter by the designer Ethan Kowaleski in a green colorway, the cards have since become highly collectible. In collaboration with the artist, we are pleased to announce a brand new limited edition Lepidopterist Deck in pink. Packaged in a luxurious letterpress-printed tuck box with gold foil accents. Sustainably produced using FSC certified paper and vegetable-based inks on our trademark thin-stock and finish. Printed by The United States Playing Card Company.

The idea for this deck, The Lepidopterist, started as just that: an idea — one that I wasn't sure would ever come to fruition. Between jobs, I would work on it and, after many months, it was finally ready to bring to you! The real inspiration for this deck came from two main things: Art Nouveau design and architecture, specifically conservatories/sun rooms The incredibly beautiful Chrysiridia rhipheus, better known as the Madagascan Sunset Moth Both are so unique and so beautiful. Art Nouveau brought an elegant, almost psychedelic, look to the end of the Victoria era and the Sunset Moth has such vibrant, iridescent colors, it almost doesn't seem real. Their special appeal combined to inspire this project. Thus, The Lepidopterist playing cards were born— a deck of cards inspired by elegant architecture and nature, bringing elements of both into the creation of something I hope you will be proud to be a part of.
