A large waterproof PVC tile bag in pink or white, which wipes clean inside as well as out, unlike any fabric bag.

Every tile bag is sold on its outside. What matters over years is the inside, because that is where dust, crumbs and the residue from hands accumulate, and a fabric lining cannot be cleaned without washing the whole bag.
PVC wipes. A cloth run round the inside takes thirty seconds and the bag is genuinely clean, which for something in permanent contact with a set that gets handled constantly is worth more than it sounds.
Two different claims. Water resistant means a shower is survivable; waterproof means liquid does not pass. For a bag carried from a car in the rain, or one that shares a boot with a leaking bottle, the difference is the set.
Large enough for tiles and racks together, which is what keeps a set complete. Sets are lost by dispersal, and a bag that only takes the tiles leaves the racks to travel separately and eventually go missing.
It stiffens in cold. A bag left in a car overnight in winter will be rigid in the morning and should be let warm before being folded, since cold PVC creases permanently.
It also protects against liquid and loss, not impact.
Wipe inside and out. Do not machine wash. Avoid sharp folds in the material, which leave white lines that do not recover.

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.
Large is the right target, because the things that go missing are the small ones. A bag that takes tiles and racks together keeps dice, markers and spare tiles in the same place rather than scattered across two containers. PVC adds a second consideration: it wipes clean on the inside, so a bag sized generously does not become a place where dust collects.
Count up a suit and the tiles that complete 2 tile run land on one, 11. That is all the rule says, and it is enough to change how a hand is read. Instead of laying tiles out to see what is needed, a player recognises the shape and knows the wait immediately. It applies to the numbered suits only, not to winds or dragons.
Consistency across a large number of identical pieces is what costs, not the material of any single tile. Every face has to be engraved to the same depth and filled with the same colour, or the set looks wrong in the hand even if no one can say why. Rejects are thrown at set level rather than tile level. After that comes weight, which decides the shipping bill.
Because none of it is general purpose. A waterproof tile bag cannot be sold to anyone who does not play, a rack fits nothing else, a card is worthless the year after. Products with no secondary market carry their full development cost on a small run. Materials are the cheap part of that equation; the narrow audience is the expensive part.
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.
