The card design thread

So, there’s actually some wild lore to this. A gourd in Chinese is called 葫芦 (Hulu) which sounds like 福禄 (fulu) which is like happiness and prosperity

The gourd also looks like the number 8 which is lucky in Chinese culture (because the number 8 in Chinese is written 八 and this indicates prosperity due to the wide opening iirc)

Not sure about the deer. I’ll have to research it

Hi everyone! For me, elegance lies in simplicity. You can see what they look like on the website (unfortunately, I can’t attach a photo) https://satchel.eu I’m very happy to use their card daily.

Is there an up to date list of bank card designs somewhere? I’m happy to pay for it even. I wonder where do these comparison sites get them?

There’s this:

Comparison sites will get them from the banks directly.

They also have a Pikachu card!
