Looking for eyewear that won’t go out of style, try casting your eyes through the lenses of one of Moscot’s timeless range.

Formed in the Lower East Side of New York in 1915, the family owned brand is well known for crafting iconic styles using vintage designs from family archives dating back to the 1930’s.

Designs such as the Lemtosh, Miltzen and the Nebb are famous and have been worn by many famous actors, musicians and other creatives across the years.

Made with premium materials - Italian acetate, riveted hinges and even glass lenses for some of the sunglasses, you’ll get a well crafted pair of glasses, designed in NYC, albeit manufactured in China (the company moving production here many decades ago).

I’ve a few pairs of Moscots - the Lemtosh, the round lensed Miltzen and thicker and squarer, Momza. Sizing options are good (Narrow, Average or Wide fittings), the product is well weighted and robust and the glasses give a strong vibe of the brand’s iconic heritage without the need for any logo placement.
