Leather Playing Cards Set Deluxe – Black Red

Some of the best evenings begin with a deck of cards and good company.

The MELIA Playing Cards Set Deluxe – Black Red brings everything you need for timeless card games together in one beautifully organised leather case.

Handcrafted in Europe from premium full-grain Floater leather, the set includes two complete decks of playing cards, a scorebook and pencil, each with its own dedicated place inside the fitted interior.

The understated black exterior opens to reveal a striking red interior, creating a distinctive contrast between classic elegance and bold contemporary design.

Two flexible securing bands hold the decks safely in place while allowing you to use playing cards in different formats and sizes.

From Rummy and Canasta to Bridge, Poker, Skat or Doppelkopf — and even alternative card decks such as UNO or Phase 10 — the Deluxe Set is designed for evenings around the table as much as weekends away.

The compact zip-around construction transforms the complete set into an elegant travel companion within seconds.

DESIGN STORY

Classic Outside. Bold Inside.

Playing cards have brought people together around tables for centuries.

The Playing Cards Set Deluxe was created around that ritual — not simply as a case for cards, but as a complete playing experience.

From the outside, Black Red appears understated and timeless. Deep black Floater leather and minimal detailing create a refined, contemporary silhouette.

Open the case and the character changes.

A rich red interior creates a dramatic contrast with the black exterior, framing the playing cards, scorebook and pencil and giving the set a distinctive identity the moment it is opened.

Everything has its place: two decks of cards, a scorebook and a pencil, carefully arranged within the fitted interior.

Instead of fixed card pockets, two flexible securing bands hold the decks securely in place. This makes the interior more adaptable and allows different playing card formats to be used without compromising the elegant organisation of the case.

When the game is over, everything returns to its place and the case closes into a compact black leather object ready for the next evening.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Genuine Leather. Clean, Durable and Timeless.

Every MELIA Playing Cards Set Deluxe is handcrafted in Europe from carefully selected full-grain leather.

For Black Red, we use premium Floater leather with a fine natural grain and subtly textured surface.

The characteristic structure gives the leather a refined yet robust appearance while retaining the natural tactile quality of genuine full-grain leather.

Unlike the more pronounced vintage character of Crazy Horse leather, Floater leather offers a cleaner and more uniform aesthetic — perfectly suited to the sophisticated black exterior of Black Red.

Inside, the bold red lining introduces a deliberate visual contrast, transforming the otherwise understated case into a distinctive design object once opened.

Edges, seams, securing bands and the zip-around construction are carefully assembled to create a case that feels substantial in the hand while remaining compact enough to travel.

Natural variations in grain and surface are part of the character of genuine leather and make every set subtly unique.

Designed Around the Game

Good organisation disappears the moment the game begins.

The interior of the Black Red Deluxe Set has been designed so that every essential has its own dedicated place — while remaining particularly flexible.

Instead of two enclosed card compartments, two flexible securing bands hold the playing card decks securely against the fitted interior.

This adaptable construction makes it possible to use cards in different sizes and formats and accommodates many of the world's best-known playing card brands, including Piatnik, Fournier, Copag, Bicycle, Ravensburger, ASS Altenburger, Modiano and Bullets, as well as alternative card games such as UNO and Phase 10.

The integrated scorebook and pencil ensure that everything required for an evening of cards is always together.

With the case closed, the entire collection measures approximately 17 × 13 × 4 cm, transforming a complete playing card set into a compact leather travel companion.

From spontaneous games at home to evenings on holiday, everything you need is already inside.

Flexible Card Storage

One of the defining features of the Black Red edition is its adaptable card storage system.

Rather than using two fixed, enclosed card compartments, the interior features two flexible securing bands designed to hold different types of playing card decks securely in place.

This allows the case to accommodate a wider range of card formats and makes it suitable not only for the included MELIA playing cards but also for decks from many established manufacturers.

Depending on deck dimensions and packaging, the case can accommodate cards from brands such as:

• Piatnik
• Fournier
• Copag
• Bicycle
• Ravensburger
• ASS Altenburger
• Modiano
• Bullets
• UNO
• Phase 10
• and many other popular card formats

The result is a playing card case that adapts to the game rather than limiting the player to one specific deck format.

The Leather

Black Red is crafted from premium full-grain Floater leather sourced from LWG Gold Certified tanneries.

Floater leather is characterised by its fine, naturally structured grain and soft yet durable surface.

Its understated texture creates subtle visual depth without distracting from the minimalist exterior design.

The deep black leather forms a sophisticated contrast with the vivid red interior, giving Black Red a distinctive dual character: understated when closed, expressive when opened.

The leather retains the natural strength and tactile quality of full-grain hide while offering naturally water-repellent properties that make it particularly suited to an object designed for both the home and travel.

Unlike Crazy Horse leather, which is deliberately characterised by stronger tonal variations and the development of a pronounced vintage patina, Floater leather maintains a more consistent and refined appearance over time.

Small variations in grain and texture remain natural characteristics of genuine full-grain leather rather than imperfections.

Handmade in Europe

Not mass-produced.

Every MELIA Playing Cards Set Deluxe is individually handcrafted by experienced leather artisans using traditional leatherworking techniques combined with modern precision.

From cutting and assembling the leather to constructing the fitted interior and finishing the edges, every detail contributes to a set designed for countless games, evenings and journeys.

CARE

Leather Care

Our premium full-grain Floater leather is designed for durability and everyday use.

Store your Playing Cards Set Deluxe in a dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat or moisture.

For light surface dirt, gently wipe the leather with a clean, soft and dry cloth. When required, use a high-quality leather care product suitable for full-grain leather.

Avoid aggressive cleaning agents, solvents or products that may alter the natural surface of the leather.

With proper care, the Black Red Floater leather will retain its refined grain, tactile character and understated appearance for years to come.
