Designed by Jamie Stark @ Stark Design and distributed by Doc's Playing Cards, coming soon to Kickstarter.

Welcome to the Latin Quarter. We love beautiful playing cards and quality poker chips which is why we set out to make our own. We wanted to create a “objects of art” that collectors would be proud to display prominently, magicians would reach for automatically, and cardists would stock in their arsenal — something that would make you the envy of all your pals on poker night.

The Latin Quarter is our fanciful interpretation of cards and chips for an illegal casino that existed in Lexington Kentucky 100 years ago. We treated the project like we were hired to create the branding for the casino and brought our own spin to it. The research was broad and deep on this one.

The "Latin Quarter" moniker harkens back to Paris in the Middle Ages. The Latin Quarter was the area around the great University of Paris where all the scholars and great thinkers of the time resided and Latin was the commonly spoken tongue in the area. Our design pays homage to that history. The typeface used for the Latin Quarter logo is a blackletter font based on the dense calligraphic scripts that monks in the Latin Quarter would have used to write manuscripts. The Fleur De Lis is the historic symbol of the French monarchy and it makes appearances throughout the deck.

Bacarat Casino is our newest casino deck featuring elegant casino themed back design and redesigned number and court cards. - Standard edition, limited to 555 decks with numbered seals - Made in USA by The United States Playing Card Company

Inspired by the works of William Shakespeare, this deck is based on the themes prevalent in his work: Life and Death. The themes of life and death are represented with the motif of Thorns and Roses. Thorns embodies the pain of loss and death found in these works, while the Roses the sweetness of love and life. The decks feature four of Shakespeare's best known works: Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth and King Lear. The Roses deck interprets these characters with an item of significance while the Thorns deck depicts their method of death (it's a lot of deaths.)

In collaboration with our artist Pedro Oyarbide, we originally sought to create a deck that was distinctly unique amongst other decks of playing cards on the market. We focused on 100% custom illustration, striking details, incredible, eye-catching packaging and deep connotation evident through symbolic design. The mythology of the Joker and the Thief playing cards expands with the addition of Street Edition. The all new bold, black and grey colour-way bursts forth bringing itself into the light of day. Building upon White Gold Edition and Blood Red Edition’s narratives; Street Edition aims to place itself directly in the hands of contemporary creatives. It looks at home in any urban setting while continuing to portray powerful contrasting themes of life and mortality, lightness and darkness, good and evil. It is most definitely, a conversation starter! The Joker and the Thief emerge from the shadows more stunning, striking and stylish than ever.

The Joker and the Thief return with a striking and luxurious colour way – White and Gold.

2020 DOTY Award Nominee: 'Best Ace', 'Best Rookie Deck'

History was never kind to women as traditional history obscured, neglected, and distorted the historical record and experience of many great women. No matter how hard they fought to become a writer, poet, scientist or an artist, being a woman was a huge drawback in any society, but in the end they had another battle to overcome, fighting not to be eliminated by the hands of history.

Among these noble women, some were known for their warrior spirit, the spirit to participate on battlefields, the manliest place, a place where no woman was welcome, yet there were some, who broke the tradition. In these battlefields not only did they fight as good as men, but some of them were leaders or had a special role in the war. All these women warriors fought back against a male-dominated world.

In this project, we tried our best to know these great warriors, to honor the past, inform the present and inspire the future.

Post WWII Los Angeles. In the dead of night you enter Fulton's, a clip joint hidden in the murk of downtown. Take your seat and stash your heat; your drink is on its way. Smoke curls along the crown molding and lingers in the air. What little light there is tingles through the vapors as a femme fatale appears between the shadows. She'll be by soon. Get cozy, you're in for the night - it's either that or put up a fight. In a few hours your boys will join you. For now, a deck of cards from inside your coat is tossed on the table and your fedora set aside. As broads sit and sip, gents go for the grift. Are you in?

Fulton's Clip Joint Playing Cards celebrate our fascination with cinema, history, and the art of the grift. Taking inspiration from vintage Los Angeles and Film Noir, Fulton's captures a time and place where men were men, women were dames, and the next deal could be your last.
