What to know about Moscot
MOSCOT is a family-run New York eyewear house, now in its fifth generation, tracing back to Hyman Moscot selling ready-made spectacles from a Lower East Side pushcart in the 1910s. Its flagship stands at 94 Orchard Street. The range centers on hand-finished acetate and metal frames with a vintage New York character - the round Lemtosh, keyhole-bridge Miltzen, Nebb and Zolman - offered as optical or sun, with prescription lenses fitted in shop. MOSCOT operates its own retail stores in the US and abroad.
