Your bag is empty
A 53 cm zipped tile bag with a clear PVC window, so the set can be identified without opening anything.

It sounds like a styling choice and it is a practical one. Households that play regularly end up with more than one set: a full sized one, a travel one, maybe a spare that came as a gift. Stored in identical bags, they are indistinguishable without opening each in turn.
A window ends that. It also means a bag with a missing set is obvious at a glance rather than after a search.
Published, which is rare, and generous. At this length a full set with racks fits, where most tile bags are cut for tiles alone and leave the racks to travel separately.
Keeping racks with tiles is how a set stays complete, so bag length is not a detail.
Both wipe clean and neither absorbs. A canvas bag that gets wet stays damp against the tiles; these dry immediately.
PVC does stiffen in cold, so a bag left in a car through a winter night will be rigid in the morning. It softens again without damage.
Non negotiable on a tile bag. A drawstring or open top bag will empty itself in a boot, and 144 tiles loose under a car seat is a genuinely bad afternoon.
Wipe clean. Air it out rather than storing it damp. Avoid folding the PVC window sharply, since creases in PVC become permanent white lines.

Nobody knows what's inside
Cowhide, suede, straw. Carry it to your friend’s place, then carry it to lunch.
Big enough to matter
Sizes that take a compact tile set, which handbags almost never do. Capacity is on the page, so it's a choice and not a gamble.
Take mahj with you
The reason your set leaves the house instead of living in a closet.
53 centimetres is the figure here, and it is published, which most tile bags are not. That length takes a full set with the racks laid alongside rather than forcing them into a second bag. When a listing gives no dimension, the missing number is almost always the one that decides whether racks fit, so treat its absence as the answer rather than an oversight.
2 tiles in sequence can always be completed from either end, and those ends fall on one, 4 or 7 as the suit climbs. Knowing it changes discarding more than drawing: you can tell at a glance whether the tile you are about to throw is the one another player has been sitting on. Most beginners learn it in an evening and play differently afterwards.
Anything that solves the shelf. A player with more than one set opens bags to work out which is which, every single time, and stops noticing that they do it. A clear panel removes that permanently for a fraction of what a set costs. It is the sort of present that looks unremarkable on the day and gets used every week afterwards.
The spread is wide, and it tracks the tile rather than the packaging. Size, material and count set the price; a bigger tile in a denser material costs more in materials and again in shipping. Worth separating from that is storage, which is usually an afterthought from the maker. A window bag costs a fraction of any set and is the reason you can tell 2 sets apart on a shelf.
A mahjong set is handled more than almost anything else in the house: every tile passes through four pairs of hands, several times a game.
That is what we select for. Tiles that read clearly from the far side of the table, edges that stay clean, and a case that still closes after a few seasons of being carried around.
Sets differ in ways that only show at the table: the weight of a tile in the hand, how a crak reads from three seats away, whether the case survives the trip to a friend’s house.
When we have the figures, we publish them: tile count, tile size, weight and material. When we do not have one, we leave it out rather than guess.
