Hi there. I'm brand new here and was told to inquire about my interest from a tarot discord. : ]
My sister had this deck back in 2018 as her first tarot I believe, but unfortunately most of her supplies got ruined/lost in flooding.I'd really like find a way to purchase this set for her as a graduation present and something we can bond over before she leaves for graduate school. I actually only recognized Chelsea's(?) deck after seeing a few of the designs show up as posters at a local eclectic shop.
Apologies if I'm mixing any terms up. I'm very new to tarot myself (I just got my first deck and it's super overwhelming hehe).
Thank you guys!

Is this the deck you are looking for:
https://www.malpertuis.co/store/chelsea ... ed-second
It says it's out of stock, at the original site.
But you want a Malpertuis original, there are many fakes out there.
There is some information about that here:
https://www.malpertuis.co/
Malpertuis decks were created by Neil Lovell, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago.
His family have re-released a couple fo his decks, but I don't know the status of this one. The web page has a lot of info.
If this is what you are looking for it isn't a Tarot deck, it's a Lenormand Deck.
It's also a divination deck but is different from tarot,
You may have a look at the TYLDWICK 2ND EDITION, which was maybe his most popular deck. It's a Tarot deck and I think it is available because the family did a reprint of it. Might be an interesting alternative since it's from the same artist. It is a really strange and beautiful deck, also a rarity of sorts.

Lenormand is exactly what I meant! My apologies, I thought maybe that was simply the style of the cards and not a type. That first link is correct.
Sad to hear about his passing. It's understandable why his and his family's products would be limited then
. I'm hoping to avoid buying a fake as it feels like it would be a pretty disingenuous gift. Silly as she is, she's very genuine about her beliefs and hobbies, but I think she would be thrilled with a used deck, on the off chance that is possible.
And the clarification is greatly appreciated! It's easy for me to get lost in all the terms.
