Many were amazed at Torzhok’s gold embroidery traditions. Among others, poet Alexander Pushkin admired it. He visited Torzhok about 20 times and the poet could not but notice the splendid embroideries and was inspired with the art of the local masters. He accompanied letters to some of his girlfriends with gold-embroidered belts. You too can have what inspired such great artists.
