Torzhokskie Zolotoshvei (gold emrdoidery), from the small but culturally significant town of Torzhok in the Tver Region, does exactly this. The young brand, whose debut collection was shown in 2012 at the 15th International “Velvet Seasons In Sochi” Festival, has already won the praise of Russia’s most respected designers like Vyachislav Zaitsev and Valentin Yudashkin. But it is not only a fashion brand. Torzhokskie Zolotoshvei make accessories, interior decoration objects and gifts with gold masterfully and tastefully woven into them. 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. Stores are located in most big cities west of the Urals and there is also a modern online store.
