WATERCOLOR ELEGANCE

The Beauty of Shanghai Through Artistic Expression

Inspired by the romantic atmosphere of Shanghai, this special edition introduces a distinctive hand-painted watercolor aesthetic.

Rather than relying on the traditional industrial look of classic Bicycle playing cards, the design embraces softer colors, flowing lines, and subtle artistic details.

The familiar BICYCLE logo is accompanied by an illustration of Shanghai's celebrated skyline, connecting the brand's heritage with the city's unmistakable identity.

From the historic architecture of the Bund to the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui, the artwork reflects Shanghai's unique balance between tradition and modernity.

Soft blue tones, delicate watercolor textures, and carefully illustrated architectural details give the deck an elegant and sophisticated appearance.

TWO JOKERS, TWO SIDES OF SHANGHAI
