If you love mahjong and luxury goods, then here’s something to add on to your wishlist: a Hermès Mahjong Set. It’s currently listed on Hermès Singapore’s website for a whopping $57,200.
The Helios Mahjong Set is made with solid palissander wood and printed Swift calfskin, and the tiles are in printed full leather, which supposedly make tile-shuffling a lot quieter. Here’s what Hermès said in its description: “The printed full leather tiles knock gently against each other, while the little sticks keep track of the score with a delicate rustling sound.”
Here’s a closer look at the Helios Mahjong set from Hermès, as shared by a Japanese Twitter user:
