In Oct. 2020, Louis Vuitton unveiled its jade-engraved mahjong set that reportedly costs NT2.3 million (S$108,727).
New design
This year, the high-end fashion brand is bringing back the Vanity Mahjong but with new contents.
The updated Vanity Mahjong NV showcases a pull-out trunk with the brand's signature monogram design on canvas and natural cowhide trimming.

Hand-painted tiles
Within the trunk is a lush blue lining with six drawers that are filled with:
- 144 tiles and five spare tiles
- Four wooden rulers
- Four wooden dice
- A rounds cube and plate
Designed by Hong Kong design agency Studio Adjective, the hand-painted and hand-carved mahjong tiles are made of American walnut and ivory composite stone.
Each item in the set is also etched with Louis Vuitton's four-petal motif.
The agency added that they took "practical concerns and the game experience of the players" into account when designing this set.

Currently out of stock
The price for this classy set? HK$520,000, which is about S$89,868.38.
Unfortunately, even if you had the spare change to get a set for yourself, the Vanity Mahjong NV is currently out of stock.
Better luck next time.
