Tissue Linen

A tissue linen saree is linen woven with a fine tissue weft, so the whole drape carries a soft gold sheen while staying light and airy. Ours have a slim half-inch zari border and a pallu that turns into a broad band of shimmering zari, finished with tassels. Each is a 5.5 m saree with a 1 m running blouse piece, at ₹3,950 with free delivery across India.

Why tissue linen

It looks dressed-up but weighs very little. That makes it the saree for long days: a haldi that runs into the evening, a puja that starts at dawn, nine nights of Navratri visits, a Durga Puja pandal crawl. It is also kind to warm weather in a way that heavier silks are not.

The colours

Soft pastels for daytime and summer functions: lavender, baby pink, mint green, sky blue, powder blue, sage green, lemon yellow. Neutrals with a gold glow: ivory gold, champagne beige, rose gold, dusky mauve. Bright festival colours: coral pink, onion pink, violet, magenta, saffron orange, sindoor red, mango yellow and parrot green.

What to wear it for

• Haldi and mehendi: mango yellow, lemon yellow, parrot green or mint. See haldi outfit ideas.
• Puja and Chhath: sindoor red, saffron orange, mango yellow.
• Weddings as a guest: rose gold, onion pink, violet, magenta.
• Office and daytime: powder blue, sage green, champagne beige.

Caring for tissue linen

Dry clean only. Store it folded in a cotton cloth, away from damp, and refold along new lines every few months so the zari does not crease. More in our saree care guide.
