Just a question. I bought a black and white deck recently - just a little Chinese cheapie which looked cute and probably AI - and a review I later found said it was a knock-off copy of a coloured one called the Leisurely Cat Tarot. I found that on etsy - sold out - but I suspect that was also a knock-off as the etsy seller refers to a QR code on the box that doesn't work. I've looked all over and all I can find is that the artist MAY be called Irtush.

Does ANYONE know who created it - or anything else about it ?

Is it this one?

Yes - but I imagine that's a knock-off ? aliexpress usually is, isn;t it ?  I can't find anything about the artist ? I suppose it COLD just be a cheap Chinese deck...

OH but wait - you inspired me. Maybe the coloured one IS legit: Vermilion usually are, I think ?

Wow! A whole collection of them! 😍

 

Yes, I agree. Here is what I was sble to discover. 

 

Their decks are sold across multiple platforms, including Pinkoi, Vermilion Collection, TEVADA Tarot, and their own crowdfunding campaigns. They are a legitimate, creative indie tarot studio — quite different from the generic factory-brand impression that the AliExpress listings gave earlier.

I don't know that I want the whole collection, though. I cannot find it for sale in its own. And the listing is deactivated anyway.
