MOSCOT is a five-generation family-owned New York City heritage eyewear brand renowned worldwide for its iconic eyewear. The MOSCOT optical roots were first planted in America by Great Great Grandfather, Hyman Moscot, who arrived from Eastern Europe via Ellis Island in 1899. Hyman began selling ready-made eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard Street on Manhattan's famed Lower East Side. Now, over a century later, MOSCOT is a New York City institution that infuses its unmistakably refined, downtown aesthetic with over 100 years of eyewear expertise and unparalleled craftsmanship to create its timeless eyewear. All MOSCOT eyewear is handmade using the highest quality materials, real hardware, and hinges that are riveted through the temple and frame fronts to ensure the sturdiest construction possible. With over 100 years of eyewear expertise, MOSCOT carefully inspects every frame for quality control in its own labs, housed in New York City, before dispensing eyewear worldwide.
