Fredericks and Mae is a queer-owned business that’s been making visually wonderful things since 2007.
Promising review: “I’m really happy with my purchase. I originally saw this product at the MoMA Design Store in NYC, but I didn’t buy it. However, I changed my mind a couple of days later and was glad to discover they were available here. The packaging is a little bit bigger than that of your average deck. However, it’s quite sturdy, and the entire deck is well protected inside. The cards are pure eye-candy! They come in a rainbow color scheme, with some interesting symbol arrangements starting the 4 of each suit. Also, the joker cards contrast nicely with the rest of the deck because they’re black and white respectively. Inside the box, there’s a small booklet that offers some interesting information about the origin of playing cards, as well as the rules for several card games. If you want a deck of cards that will spark up a conversation, this is, without a doubt, an excellent choice!” —Thredith
