A handwoven Banarasi Tissue saree in warm gold, drawn over with Kadhua motifs enamelled in Meenadar — coloured silk and zari setting the rhythm of the composition across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — a meenadar border closes the drape, and the aanchal carries the same colour language. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Tissue is a Banarasi ground that catches and throws light in every fold — a silk warp paired with a fine metal weft, so the cloth itself reads as a soft, lit-from-within surface. Layered with Kadhua and Meenadar, the gold body is set with motifs built thread by thread and enamelled in colour. The luxury here is the meeting of three traditions in a single length of cloth.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi or Bengali-style with the pallu fanned wide so the tissue ground reads in light. Pair with antique-gold or polki — the warm body carries warm metal beautifully — and a deep maroon or contrast ivory raw silk blouse.

Caring for Your Handloom
A handloom saree is not just worn — it is preserved, rested, and cared for over time.
After wearing, allow the saree to settle gently. Dry clean only, so the weave, colour, and zari remain protected. When storing, wrap it in a soft muslin cloth and keep it in a dry place. Zari is delicate and responds to changes in weather; the muslin helps the textile breathe while keeping the weave stable.
Avoid spraying perfume directly onto the saree, as fragrance and alcohol can affect the fabric and zari. Every few months, open it out and let it air naturally for a while — a small ritual that allows the weave to breathe and helps the saree stay beautiful for years.

Every Stuti Weaves saree is woven to a standard width of 44–46 inches.
