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.
Harmony in Design
The Harmony
variant of the Sari-Sari deck brings a mesmerizing blend of symmetry
and visual balance to life. The back design uses modular geometric
shapes that fit together seamlessly, evoking the elegant symmetry of a
kaleidoscope. Each shape plays a part in an intricate, harmonious
pattern, creating a dynamic visual experience that transforms
beautifully from any angle. Rooted in geometric abstraction, the design
explores the relationship between shapes and patterns, achieving a
perfect balance that embodies both unity and duality.
In addition, Yok Joaquin's Ten of Hearts is an exclusive card in the Harmony edition.
Which brings a vibrant pop-art style to the deck. With bold colors,
playful figures, and imaginative modern elements, making it a unique
addition available only in this edition of the Bicycle Sari-Sari deck.

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

cherished for generations to come.
