Origin & Philosophy
It started with a question: Can a cardholder carry meaning?As a designer, Reza Kalani envisioned something deeper — a small object with purpose, inspired by daily life, culture, and value. CARDHΞ↓R was born as a symbol of unity, sustainability, and conscious design.
Partnership with Local Artisans & Talents
From the very start, CARDHEIR was built with local hands — connecting craftsmanship with opportunity, and bringing talent together through design.
Official Launch – 7 Aug 2025
The first collection tells stories through Amsterdam-inspired icons. Each cardholder is handmade, upcycled, and offers a modern souvenir & gift of culture.
First Global Shipment
With international orders, CARDHEIR began its global path — proving that even the smallest designs can deliver a powerful message.
Recognition as Sustainable Brand
CARDHEIR quickly resonated with creatives and conscious users, becoming more than a trend — a movement of meaningful, sustainable design.
