L'Étoile — Card XVII of the Tarot de Marseille Nouvelle Édition Luxe (Grimaud Paris, 2024). This deck of 78 cards was redrawn by hand from archival references held at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, preserving each composition's original structure while softening lines and lightening the palette. Iconographic guidance was provided by Laetitia Barbier, cartomancy expert and art history specialist. The illustration process — hand drawing, colourisation, vectorisation — was coordinated through Folio Art. Printed on vellum 300g stock with gold foil; the complete deck is housed in bespoke packaging by Créanog (Paris). Distributed through Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, Harrods, and El Corte Inglés.
