Intro

A tissue silk saree is woven with a fine metallic thread running through the fabric alongside the silk yarn, giving it a distinctive shimmering, almost translucent quality that catches the light differently from a standard Kanjivaram. Our pure tissue silk sarees are handwoven in Kanchipuram using genuine zari, not synthetic metallic thread, with Silk Mark certification on every piece.

What Makes a Tissue Silk Saree

The tissue effect comes from weaving a fine zari thread through the silk warp, creating a fabric with a subtle glimmer across its surface rather than concentrated only in the border or motifs. This collection ranges from lighter party-wear pieces to richer pure zari tissue weaves with heavier metallic content, ideal for bridal or formal occasions.

When to Wear Tissue Silk

The shimmering finish makes tissue silk a natural choice for evening functions, receptions, and festive events where you want the fabric itself to catch attention. Lighter tissue pieces work well for party wear, while heavier pure-zari tissue weaves suit bridal functions.

Care & Authenticity

Because the metallic thread runs through the weave rather than sitting only on the surface, tissue silk needs particularly careful storage — avoid folding along the same lines repeatedly, as this can stress the zari thread over time. Genuine tissue silk has a soft shimmer rather than a harsh, uniform shine (a sign of synthetic metallic thread). Full care instructions: Saree Wash & Silk Care.
