What linen tissue gives you
-
Breathable fibre: linen comes from flax and tends to feel cool on the skin, which helps through a long festive day.
-
Light tissue weave: tissue is a fine weave with a gentle shine, so the saree carries little weight and little bulk.
-
Subtle gold: the gold accents add a festive lift without making the saree look heavy or overdressed.
-
A little crispness: linen tends to hold pleats better than very soft fabrics, so the drape stays neat.
Why the 6.5 metre length helps
Many sarees come in at about 5.5 metres. Paakhi is a full metre longer and a little wider than usual at 46 inches. The extra length gives you more fabric for deeper pleats and a fuller pallu, which is useful if you are tall, prefer a generous drape or like to pin the pallu loosely. The extra width helps the pleats sit flat instead of pulling.
Hand wash care for a linen tissue saree
Many tissue sarees need dry cleaning. Paakhi can be hand washed in mild detergent, which saves trips and money if you wear it often. Follow these steps:
- Wash it on its own, since the colour can run in the first wash.
- Use mild detergent and cool water, and do not wring or twist the fabric.
- Dry it in the shade so the gold accents keep their shine.
- Press it on the reverse while it is slightly damp, because linen creases easily.
The listing notes that slight unevenness in colour and weave is normal in this saree. Light creasing is part of how linen looks.
How to wear Paakhi
| A blouse in the saree's base colour |
Gives a tonal look and keeps the gold accents in focus. |
| A gold blouse |
Picks up the accents for a festive finish. |
| A deeper contrast blouse |
Adds definition if the saree body is light. |
The blouse worn in the photos is for reference only. You can browse options in our blouse collection. Gold or antique gold jewellery suits the accents, and simple studs or jhumkas are enough.
