MOSCOT has been a New York icon since 1915. It is a tale of authenticity that has endured for generations.
Since Hyman Moscot disembarked from a ship at Ellis Island in 1899 and began selling ready-made eyewear from a wooden cart on Orchard Street, the MOSCOT brand has continuously intertwined the history of the family craft with the dynamic rhythm of Lower Manhattan. In 1915, it opened its first optical salon, winning over a multitude of customers. More than a century later, the fifth generation of the Moscot family still runs the flagship shop on Orchard Street, and the iconic Miltzen and Lemtosh models continue to symbolise timeless style around the world.
MOSCOT eyewear is more than just a beautiful family history. It's also the authentic details, exceptional quality and handmade production. The brand combines vintage Lower East Side aesthetics with modern ergonomics. Designs inspired by family archives are now worn by actors, musicians, athletes and cultural creatives around the world. Each season brings limited colour collections and subtle refinements, all overseen by the Moscot family. Zack MOSCOT is responsible for designing the new models, while his father, Dr Harvey MOSCOT, is president and personally manages the entire business. You can find both of them working in or visiting any of their salons.
Although MOSCOT now appears on fashion catwalks and in films, it remains a friendly neighbourhood brand at heart, run by the passionate MOSCOT family. Its flagship boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, Paris and Seoul coexist alongside a network of carefully selected partners.
The exclusive distributor of the MOSCOT brand in Poland is FRESH BRANDS.
