Moscot Lemtosh eyeglasses

Moscot is a global lifestyle brand and a historic New York City institution renowned for its iconic eyewear. Established in 1915 by Hyman Moscot, a Belarusian immigrant, the family-owned business began as a small pushcart operation in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Over five generations, the brand has remained under the leadership of the Moscot family, maintaining its heritage while becoming a fashion staple worldwide.

While the brand originated in the USA and maintains its design and headquarters in New York, the manufacturing of Moscot frames primarily takes place in China and Italy to leverage specialized craftsmanship and high-quality materials such as Italian acetate. The Lemtosh model, featured in the image, is one of their most celebrated designs, famously worn by numerous celebrities and intellectuals throughout the decades.
