The Secret Garden Art Novel™ | Bond & Grace

Perfect for the friend who hosts mahjong on rotation, the household with a standing game night, or anyone whose table is as considered as their tile rack.It says: “I know this isn’t just a hobby—it’s a standing date with people you love.”

• Because it elevates the whole ritual—tiles, snacks, conversation—without making game night feel precious or fussy.
• Because the materials earn their place: wipeable leatherette on top, a cushioned underside, and a tailored case that make setup and storage straightforward.
• Because it suits both the serious player and the purely social host; it looks considered on the table even when the game isn’t in session.
• Because it has that signature Poppy balance of design-forward and playful—a high-quality gift with a pov that feels like anything but an off-the-shelf accessory.

• We chose this mat because it respects the ritual of game night and the reality of the table it lives on. It’s practical and durable, but the design language is pure styling—plaid, color, and a little wink to the handbook that inspired it.
• The madras plaid was created specifically for this mat, nodding to The Preppy Handbook and classic East Coast summers—so it feels collected, not generic.
• A spill-resistant leatherette surface and soft poly-cotton underside mean the tiles move smoothly while the table stays protected.
• It rolls into a cotton twill case, which makes it as easy to bring to a friend’s house as it is to store between games.
• At 31.5" square, it’s scaled for standard card tables and doubles as a graphic layer in a game room or dining space when the tiles are packed away.

• Inside the package, they’ll find:
• Mahjong gaming mat in the exclusive Handbook Plaid – a custom Tigre de Tartán madras designed with an independent female artist, sized to fit most standard card tables.
• Premium, spill-proof leatherette playing surface with a soft poly-cotton underside to keep tiles gliding and tabletops unmarked.
• Cotton twill travel case so the mat rolls and stows cleanly between games or travels easily to the next host’s house.
• Optional rules overlay (when selected) for a slim, unobtrusive reference that sits right on the mat without disrupting the layout.
