A small zipped canvas pouch with a mahjong print, sold as a cosmetic bag and just as useful for the loose pieces of a set.

This is listed as a cosmetic bag and it is a small zipped canvas pouch, which happens to be precisely what a mahjong set needs and rarely comes with.
Every set generates loose pieces: dice, point sticks, a wind indicator, scoring coins, an annual league card. Loose in a tile bag they sink under 144 tiles and are found by tipping everything out.
A pouch that lives permanently inside the main bag ends that.
Canvas holds a printed design better than coated fabric, which cracks along the fold lines where a bag is repeatedly opened. The print here is the reason to choose it over a plain pouch, and canvas is why it will still look right in 2 years.
Not optional for this use. Dice and sticks find their way out of anything that is not properly closed, and they do it inside another bag where they are hardest to notice.
Small, inexpensive and specific enough to be recognised by anyone who plays. It is the sort of thing that gets given between members of a standing group, which is where most of these end up.
Hand wash or wipe. Turn it inside out to wash so the print is protected, and let it dry fully before anything goes back in.

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.
Something that solves a small recurring annoyance. Dice, point sticks, a wind indicator and a league card sink under the tiles in any main bag, and a zipped pouch that lives permanently inside it ends the tipping out. This one is printed canvas with a zip at 0.05 kg, modest enough to give casually and specific enough that a player understands the point of it straight away.
This one is not for the tiles, it is for everything else. A set generates loose pieces, dice, wind markers, spare tiles, a pen, and they sink to the bottom of a tile bag and are declared lost weeks later. A small zipped pouch that lives permanently inside the big bag solves that. For the tiles themselves, measure the closed case and buy for depth.
The expensive items are the ones that exist only for this game, made in small runs for people who already play. Printed textiles are the exception at the other end of the shelf: a zipped canvas pouch is cheap to make and cheap to buy, and the print is the only part that has anything to do with mahjong. That gap is why the category looks so inconsistent.
American sets carry more pieces than most. There are 152 tiles including jokers, racks with pushers for each player, and the annual card from the league that governs the rules, so there is more to make, more weight and more to ship. The card is a yearly cost of its own, which is why keeping it somewhere fixed matters: a zipped pouch stops it and the loose dice vanishing under the tiles.
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.
