Louis Vuitton’s mahjong set was revealed in an Instagram post by Elle Taiwan, taken at the brand’s exclusive Savoir Faire where other luxury items - including dollhouses, camping tents, and foosball tables - were put on display.

Arranged in a vintage-style pull-out trunk bearing LV’s iconic monogram logo, the mahjong tiles are made of real jade. We reckon they must be real heavy to lug around, but hey, who needs to carry their own things you’re this wealthy?

It is said that only 10 of such Louis Vuitton mahjong sets exist in the world, and they cost NTD2.3 million each - that’s S$108,787.
