MOSCOT is a New York eyewear institution founded in 1915. Still family-owned after five generations, the brand combines archival-inspired design with artisanal know-how.
MOSCOT’s roots go back to 1899, when Hyman Moscot sold eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. In 1915, he opened the first shop at 94 Rivington Street. Remaining in family hands, the company is now run by the fourth and fifth generations and claims more than a century of New York heritage.
Designed and prototyped in New York, MOSCOT frames are handmade using premium materials, true hardware, and riveted hinges across front and temples for durability. The brand’s aesthetic relies on period details and classic styling rooted in its archival heritage.
MOSCOT offers several key lines: MOSCOT ORIGINALS™ (archive-inspired frames with period details), the MOSCOT SPIRIT Collection (same DNA with unique color palette and metal temple tips), as well as prescription and sunglass frames. The Custom Made Tints™ program adds hand-dip dyed lenses in over 20 shades.
Design and prototyping take place in New York. Frames are handmade, while prescription lenses are produced in-house at the MOSCOT lab in NYC with strict quality control. No detailed environmental policy is published; however, the brand highlights social engagement through the MOSCOT Mobileyes Foundation, providing eye care and community support.
The brand operates MOSCOT Shops — with several flagship stores in New York — and an international network of authorized retailers. A store and stockist locator is available on the official website.
As an independent New York heritage brand, MOSCOT positions itself in the premium segment with archival-inspired collections, handcrafted frames, and an internal optical service.
