About us
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.

SOME PARTNERSHIPS JUST MAKE SENSE For years, MOSCOT and Todd Snyder have shared an appreciation for timeless design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the idea that classics only get better with age. That shared philosophy comes to life once again with The WYTHE, a frame that reflects the best of both brands: rooted in heritage, designed for today. Available exclusively through Todd Snyder, The WYTHE is another chapter in a partnership years in the making. And if you think this is where the story ends... stay tuned.

OUT ON THE STREETS – AND BACK AGAIN By popular demand, our wild posting campaign returns: “The best thing to ever sit on your face.” This time, it’s all about The LEMTOSH – reimagined for summer with Custom Made Tints™. A MOSCOT icon, seen through a new lens. A bold line? Sure. But after more than 100 years of handcrafting eyewear, we’re comfortable saying what others won’t. Spotted across New York City, the campaign puts our signature wit – and our most iconic frame – front and center. Because great design isn’t just made to be worn. It’s made to be seen. If you catch one out in the wild, tag us. We’ll be the ones – still sitting on faces since 1915. #MOSCOT #LEMTOSH #CustomMadeTints #OOH #BrandMarketing

WHEN NEW YORK MEETS MILAN, GOOD TASTE IS ALWAYS ON THE MENU During Milan Design Week, MOSCOT brought a slice of the Lower East Side to Italy with “Espresso Your Style” – a three-day takeover at Cafézal where coffee, culture, and craftsmanship came together. Rooted in a shared daily ritual, the experience invited guests to slow down, enjoy a cup, and see things a little differently – served, of course, in true MOSCOT style. As Dr. Harvey Moscot put it, “New Yorkers run on coffee – it’s part of our daily rhythm.” And for Zack Moscot, it’s just as personal: “Whether it’s the frames you wear or the coffee you order, it’s all about expression.” From exclusive drinks to branded moments, the activation celebrated the intersection of two cities – and the idea that style lives in the everyday. #MOSCOT #MilanDesignWeek #EspressoYourStyle #BrandExperience #OOH #DesignCulture #NYCtoMilan

FROM A PUSHCART ON ORCHARD STREET TO ABC7 – SOME STORIES NEVER LEAVE HOME We’re proud to be featured by abc7NY, highlighting a journey that began over a century ago on the Lower East Side and continues to evolve in ways we couldn’t have imagined. From a pushcart in 1899 to five generations later, MOSCOT remains rooted in the same neighborhood, guided by craftsmanship, optical expertise, and a healthy sense of humor. As Harvey put in the segment – referring to our latest cameo – “It’s an indie production… A24.” That “indie production” happens to be Marty Supreme, a cultural moment we’re proud to be a part of – one that reflects how MOSCOT continues to show up across film, fashion, and the streets of New York. As Harvey Moscot shares, “We’re proud of our quality, our craftsmanship and the optical expertise we provide…every day.” And as Zack Moscot carries that legacy forward, the throughline remains the same: honor where you came from and keep your eyes on what’s next. More than 100 years later, we’re still on Orchard Street – and still finding ourselves in the middle of the conversation.
