What is Tissue Banarasi Saree?

Tissue Banarasi Sarees – A Soft Golden Sheen with Banarasi Richness

Tissue Banarasi sarees are celebrated for their dreamy, shimmering texture — a fabric that resembles woven gold. These sarees are crafted by interlacing fine silk threads with metallic zari, resulting in a luminous, lightweight, and slightly crisp drape that enhances your festive look.

At Silken Saga, our Tissue Banarasi sarees are tailored for women who desire the grandeur of Banarasi craftsmanship without the weight of traditional silks. They are ideal for long events, allowing you to shine while remaining comfortable and elegantly put-together.

Tissue Banarasi Saree Fabric Details

Tissue Banarasi fabric gets its signature glow from the way silk and zari are woven together. In many Tissue Silk Banarasi sarees, fine silk yarns are interlaced with metallic zari so the surface reflects light beautifully while still feeling breathable.

Because tissue has a slightly crisp structure, it holds pleats and the pallu neatly—making it a favourite for photos, stage lighting, and evening functions.

Key Characteristics of Tissue Banarasi Sarees

  • Lightweight yet luxurious – comfortable to wear for extended periods

How to Identify a Good Tissue Banarasi Saree

When you’re shopping for a Tissue Silk Banarasi saree, focus on the weave and the quality of the sheen. A good tissue weave looks luminous and refined—not overly glossy or plasticky.

  • Look at the weave: the zari should feel woven-in, not printed or pasted.
  • Check the shine: it should reflect softly and evenly across the fabric.
  • Feel the drape: tissue should feel lightweight with slight structure (not stiff).
  • Inspect finishing: clean borders and neat pallu detailing are good quality signs.

Care Tips for Tissue Banarasi Sarees

  • Dry clean only — avoid washing at home.
  • Store in breathable muslin cloth away from sunlight.
  • Avoid sharp crease folds to protect the zari.
  • Keep perfumes away from zari work.
  • Air occasionally in shade to maintain natural sheen.
