There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about a deck of cards. The quiet shuffle, the soft tap on the table, the games that stretch long into the evening — cards have a way of bringing people together without any fuss.
Our handmade leather card holders were designed with that feeling in mind.
Each one is carefully hand made (they are fiddily little things) in our studio using premium Italian leather, chosen for its beautiful natural texture and the way it softens and deepens with age. These are pieces made to be used, handled and enjoyed — not tucked away and forgotten. They will only get better the more they are used. My favourite I have to say is the classic tan.
Thoughtful Design, Made to Last
The design is intentionally simple. A clean fold, a secure brass stud, and just enough structure to keep a standard deck of cards protected whether you’re storing them at home or slipping them into a bag for a weekend away.
Available in brown, tan and olive green, the leather tones are classic and understated, chosen to suit any interior or travel set-up. Over time, each holder will develop its own unique patina — a quiet record of evenings spent playing, travelling, and gathering.
No two are ever quite the same.
More Than Storage
While these holders do a practical job, they’re really about elevating an everyday object. A deck of cards is something most of us already own, but housing it in a beautifully made leather case turns it into something worth keeping out on the table.
They make thoughtful gifts too — ideal for birthdays, Father’s Day, anniversaries or as a small but meaningful present for someone who appreciates well-made things. Simple, useful and made to last.
Made Slowly, By Hand
As with everything we create at Parkin & Lewis, these card holders are handmade in small batches. We believe good design doesn’t shout — it quietly earns its place over time.
Whether it’s for family game nights, travel adventures or a keepsake gift, this is a piece designed to be part of your story.
Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that get used the most.
They can even arrive to you with a deck of cards already inside, so it is ready to gift. Winning!
