The Ethereal Silk – Katansi’s Tissue Banarasi Signature
Innovation in Indian weaving has always been rooted in tradition — and at Katansi, we believe in taking that heritage forward with purity, creativity, and luxury. One of our most admired concepts is the fusion of Tissue thread with pure Banarasi silk weaving, creating sarees that feel light as air yet shine with the richness of handwoven artistry.
Tissue weaving has existed in India for centuries, known for its soft shimmer and delicate texture. Banarasi silk, on the other hand, is celebrated for its durability, intricate motifs, and royal drape. When these two worlds come together, a new form of luxury is born. Katansi specializes in this rare combination — a balance of grace, strength, and luminous beauty.
Tissue threads add a subtle, ethereal glow to the saree, creating a reflective sheen that catches light effortlessly. They bring softness and fluidity. Banarasi silk threads bring structure, depth, and heritage motifs that define centuries of craftsmanship. The fusion results in a saree that is elegant but not heavy, festive but not overpowering — perfect for modern women who value beauty without compromising comfort.
What makes Katansi’s concept special is the precision of our artisans. Each saree is handwoven on traditional looms, where tissue yarns are blended carefully with pure Katan or silk warp threads. The process is slow, meticulous, and requires exceptional skill — which is why these sarees are rare and highly valued in the premium market.
Patterns like floral jaal, meenakari work, kadwa motifs, and delicate butis look even more exquisite when woven with tissue accents. The interplay of matte and shine creates a visual richness you won’t find in ordinary weaves. Every piece feels contemporary yet deeply rooted in Banarasi heritage.
Today, Katansi’s tissue–Banarasi fusion sarees are sought after across India and internationally. Brides love them for their lightweight grandeur. Collectors appreciate the craftsmanship. And every day, women admire how effortlessly they elevate any moment — from celebrations to intimate gatherings.
At Katansi, innovation doesn’t replace tradition — it enhances it. Our tissue + Banarasi thread concept is a tribute to artistry, purity, and timeless elegance.
Katansi – weaving the future of heritage, one luminous thread at a time.
