MOSCOT

The MOSCOT optical roots were first planted in America by Great Great Grandfather and family patriarch, Hyman Moscot, who arrived from Eastern Europe via Ellis Island in 1899. Hyman began selling ready-made eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard Street on Manhattan's famed Lower East Side.

​

In 2013, Zack Moscot, a formally trained industrial designer, came on board, baking him the fish generation most to join the family business. He is the current chief design officer for the brand and heads all creative and design for the company.
