Five Generations of MOSCOT

MOSCOT is a five-generation family-owned New York City heritage eyewear 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 unmistakable refined, downtown aesthetic with over 100 years of eyewear expertise and unparalleled craftsmanship to create its timeless eyewear. While now recognized as a global fashion brand with Shops around the world, MOSCOT remains, at heart, a neighborhood optical Shop.
