Tissue Silk sarees are meant for special occasions, courtesy their subtle shine and ethereal qualities. These sarees offer the goodness and lightweight feel of Tissue with the richness and regal appeal of Silk. What’s not to love?

Tissue Silk sarees are like investments and often passed on from generation to generation. Thus, it is important to know what to look out for when it comes to buying a Tissue Silk saree. But with such a wide array of sarees available out there, how do you really spot an authentic Tissue Silk saree? Let’s take a look at some pointers that can help you identify them:

1. First and foremost, look for the Silk Mark label on the saree. The label is issued by the Silk Mark Organisation of India and is a key indicator of authenticity when it comes to buying Tissue Silk sarees.

2. An authentic Tissue Silk saree will be soft yet crisp, and will always look stunning with its subtle metallic sheen that makes it ideal for special occasions. The gentle shimmer makes these sarees stand out.
3. While draping, you will feel that the saree is fluid yet structured, leading to a relatively easy drape. The Silk ensures that the pleats fall into place without much effort, and once you pin them up, you’re all set, flaunting a gorgeous saree drape that is sure to earn you tons of compliments.
4. Real Tissue Silk sarees produce a soft, rustling sound, almost like a whisper, when you gently rub the fabric together or scrunch it.
5. The burn test – which may not always be possible – is yet another way to check if the saree is authentic. Genuine Tissue Silk burns slowly, leaves an odour similar to that of burning hair and leaves behind a fine, powdery ash.
6. Last but not the least, these sarees are one-of-a-kind and each saree will have its marks of imperfections – that are a result of the handwoven detailing and skilled craftsmanship. The minor irregularities in the weave only add to the saree’s charm and authenticity.
