A Love Story In Playing Cards

Inspired by the folktale of Ashik Kerib, Ashik Playing Cards turns a seven year journey of love, music, and memory into a deck you can hold. Each card is fully custom, woven with motifs from Azerbaijani carpets, metalwork, and the saz that defines the ashik tradition. Four editions invite you into different chapters of the story, from sand dune yellow Dune and resilient Turquoise, to romantic Pomegranate and the rare, numbered Sapphire. Every tuck box is set with real gemstones, and every card is finished with double sided cold foil for a luminous table presence. Back Ashik Playing Cards on Kickstarter now.
