1. Sheen Test: An authentic tissue saree will have a soft but steady shine, not a glossy plastic-like appearance. 

2. Feel the Fabric: It should feel very light and slightly crisp to the touch. 

3. Weaving Imperfections: Handloom tissue sarees often have tiny weaving irregularities — these are a sign of genuine craftsmanship. 

4. Zari Strength: A thread test helps — high-quality zari (especially metallic) is stronger and does not break easily.
