About Mahjong

Mahjong is not just a game; it's a cultural experience. Originating in China, this tile-based game symbolises strategic thinking, social connection, and tradition. Played with tiles that depict vivid symbols, numbers, and Chinese characters, the game is a cornerstone of Chinese heritage. The three primary melds in Mahjong—Chow, Pong, and Kong—inspired the names of this collection, each carrying a meaningful representation of the game's spirit.

• Chow 吃: A sequence of tiles, symbolizing growth and progression.
• Pong 碰: A set of three identical tiles, embodying balance and harmony.
• Kong 槓: A four-tile meld, representing abundance and prosperity.
  
  By incorporating Mahjong's rich history into eyewear, polette transforms these cultural elements into modern fashion statements.

This collection—Chow, Pong, and Kong— is more than eyewear: it's a journey into the heart of joy in Chinese traditions. Experience the blend of heritage and modernity with the Mahjong collection by polette. Let every frame tell a story as you embrace the game’s essence of strategy, connection, and creativity.
