Moscot

Moscot eyewear has a legacy steeped in 104+ years of history spanning 5 generations. When Hyman Moscot, a trained optician from Belarus or erstwhile Prussia in Eastern Europe, started selling readymade glasses in 1899 on Orchard Street in Manhattan’s famed Lower East Side from a pushcart, little did he know that he had laid the foundation of a generational business that would one day become one of the world’s top luxury eyewear brand! The Moscot story took a definitive turn with the opening of its first store in 1915.
