What is Tissue Silk?
Tissue Silk is a premium fabric crafted by weaving pure silk threads together with metallic zari (gold or silver) threads. The name "tissue" comes from its delicate, semi-transparent appearance — much like tissue paper — yet it carries a distinctive shimmer and grandeur that makes it the perfect choice for weddings and festive occasions.
Key Features of Tissue Silk
- Lustrous Shine: Tissue silk has a natural metallic glow that catches light beautifully — making you stand out at any celebration.
- Lightweight: Despite its rich appearance, tissue silk is surprisingly light and comfortable to wear throughout a long wedding day.
- Breathable: Being a natural silk-based fabric, it is skin-friendly and breathable — ideal for Indian weather.
- Wrinkle Resistant: Tissue silk holds its shape well, keeping you looking fresh and sharp all day long.
- Perfect for Embroidery: The smooth surface of tissue silk allows intricate resham and zari embroidery to stand out with exceptional clarity and detail.
Tissue Silk vs Regular Silk — What's the Difference?
Regular silk is woven purely from natural silk threads, giving it a soft and fluid drape. Tissue Silk, on the other hand, incorporates metallic zari threads into the weave — resulting in a stiffer, more structured fabric with a distinctive shimmer. This makes tissue silk especially suited for festive and bridal wear where a regal, eye-catching look is desired.

How to Care for Your Tissue Silk Kurta?
- Dry Clean Only: Always dry clean your tissue silk kurta — washing at home can damage the delicate fabric and embroidery.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade the colour and weaken the fabric fibres.
- Store in Muslin: Wrap in a soft muslin cloth when storing — avoid plastic covers that can trap moisture.
- Use a Hanger: Always hang your kurta rather than folding it to prevent unwanted creases.
