A unique selection for all card lovers
Our card collection stands out for its originality and exceptional quality. Among the most prized pieces is a series of 12 illustrated cards featuring literal translations of French expressions into English. These unique creations combine humor and refinement, offering a fresh look at the linguistic subtleties that separate and bring together our two cultures.
Each card in this collection is a true printing masterpiece. Produced in letterpress on thick, high-quality recycled paper, they bear witness to exceptional craftsmanship.

For the most passionate collectors, our vintage collections offer a journey back in time through the history of illustrated cards. These carefully selected limited editions bear witness to the evolution of graphic styles and printing techniques over the decades. Each piece tells a unique story, from the first postcards of the early 20th century to the bold designs of the 60s and 70s.
Among our most prized treasures are cards from the archives of famous animation studios, such as Studio Ghibli. These rare pieces, covered by copyright notices stretching from 1984 to 2023, are true gems for Japanese animation fans. They offer an enchanting insight into the creative process behind some of the world’s best-loved animated films.
