Playing cards deck

 

Rooted in childhood memories and cultural tradition, Motif is a custom-designed card deck that pays tribute to the most beloved card game in Bulgaria - Belote. This deck blends function with folklore, aiming to preserve the joy of playing through thoughtful design.

The cards are adorned with traditional Bulgarian embroidery patterns, giving the deck a sense of heritage and identity. Subtly embedded into the design are corner indicators showing each card’s value in both “All Trumps” and “No Trumps” variations of the game, aimed to help beginners jump right in. Not just a regular card deck, Motif is a cultural celebration.
