MOSCOT is a five-generation, family-owned New York City heritage brand renowned worldwide for its iconic eyewear.

Its roots trace back to 1899, when Hyman Moscot arrived from Eastern Europe via Ellis Island and began selling ready-made eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

Now, over a century later, MOSCOT remains a New York City institution, infusing its unmistakably refined, downtown aesthetic with over 100 years of optical expertise and unparalleled craftsmanship to create timeless eyewear. While now recognized as a global fashion brand with Shops around the world, MOSCOT is, at heart, still a neighborhood optical Shop.
