Tissue fabric — with its signature metallic shimmer — is luxury distilled into fabric. Woven with metallic threads, tissue catches light from every angle, creating an ethereal glow that is unmistakable. Our handcrafted tissue pieces amplify this luminosity with intricate hand embroidery.
Tissue is a luxury fabric woven with metallic (typically gold or silver) threads that give it a distinctive shimmer and translucent quality. It has a rich history in Indian textiles, particularly in Mughal-era fashion where it was reserved for royalty. The fabric is lightweight despite its opulent appearance, making it surprisingly comfortable for celebratory occasions.
Every piece is made to order by master karigars in Jaipur, with 3-4 weeks of meticulous hand embroidery on premium tissue fabric.
Tissue is your evening and celebration fabric — its metallic quality comes alive under event lighting. A tissue saree or dupatta needs minimal jewellery because the fabric itself sparkles. Pair with understated accessories and let the fabric be the star.
Tissue dupattas are a clever way to add glamour to any outfit — throw a gold tissue dupatta over a simple silk kurta set, and you are celebration-ready without overdoing it.
Tissue is perfect for weddings (especially receptions), Diwali, sangeet nights, cocktail events, and any evening celebration. Its metallic quality makes it less suitable for casual or daytime wear. Reserve tissue for your most festive moments.
Always dry clean tissue fabric — moisture can tarnish metallic threads. Store flat, wrapped in acid-free tissue paper (the paper, not the fabric). Keep away from humidity. Iron on the lowest setting with a pressing cloth. Handle with clean, dry hands to prevent tarnishing.
Is tissue fabric heavy?
Surprisingly, no. Despite its rich appearance, tissue is lightweight and drapes beautifully. It is one of the most comfortable formal fabrics.
Does tissue wrinkle?
Tissue holds its shape well and resists wrinkling better than silk. Minor creases can be steamed out gently.
Can tissue be worn during the day?
Tissue works best for evening events where its metallic sheen catches artificial light. For daytime, it can look overly shiny in direct sunlight.
