A Chanderi Handloom Saree that blends silk and tissue (often referred to as Sico or Silk-Tissue blend) offers that perfect “best of both worlds” vibe: you get the regal, metallic sheen of the tissue with the soft, manageable drape of pure silk.
Since you’re looking at a high-quality hand-woven piece, here is a quick breakdown of what makes this specific combination special and what to look for:
Why This Blend Works
The Luster: The “half tissue” refers to metallic Zari threads being woven into either the warp or the weft. This gives the saree a shimmering, luminous quality that is perfect for weddings or evening events.
The Texture: Unlike full tissue sarees, which can sometimes be stiff or abrasive, the “half silk” component ensures the fabric remains soft and breathable.
The Weight: Authentic Chanderi is famous for being “woven air.” Even with tissue, a genuine handloom piece will feel incredibly light on the shoulders.

Care Tips for Silk-Tissue
Because of the delicate metallic threads in the tissue:
Dry Clean Only: This isn’t just a suggestion; water can oxidize the Zari and ruin the “tissue” shine.
No Direct Perfume: Chemicals in perfume can darken the metallic weaving over time.
Cotton Storage: Store it in a breathable muslin or cotton bag. Avoid plastic covers, which can trap moisture and cause the Zari to turn black.
