A “tissue silk saree” is a type of traditional Indian saree that is made from a fabric called tissue silk. Tissue silk is a lightweight and sheer fabric woven with silk threads, often with the addition of metallic yarns like zari or silver and gold threads. It is known for its lustrous appearance and smooth texture.

Tissue silk sarees are highly regarded for their elegance and rich look. They are popular choices for special occasions, weddings, and festive celebrations. The saree’s body is usually made of tissue silk fabric, while the borders and pallu (the decorative end of the saree) may feature intricate designs, embellishments, or intricate woven patterns using metallic threads.
