Flimsy stuff made from purest sepia fragments (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tissue paper

'flimsy stuff' is the definition.
(flimsy material)

'purest sepia fragments' is the wordplay.
'fragments' is an anagram indicator (the fragments are put back together differently).
'purest'+'sepia'='purestsepia'
'purestsepia' with letters rearranged gives 'TISSUE-PAPER'.

'made from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tissue paper that I've seen before include "Wrapping for delicate objects" , "There may be a valuable article in it!" , "Kleenex" , "delicate sheets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
