Additionally the tissue paper can comprise synthetic fibers. The silk fibers are of a color different from the color of the cellulosic fibers as assessed by the human naked eye. The amount of silk fibers can account for between a positive amount and 5% of the total weight of the fibers. The length of the silk fibers can be equal or less than 8mm. A process for making such a tissue paper is described. A kit comprising such a tissue paper, a packaging structure and graphical indicia is described, wherein the indicia further enhances the perception of softness, bulkiness and/or kindness to skin for the user of the tissue paper.
