Kelly Loves MOSCOT!

MOSCOT is the oldest collection we carry at Spectacle and it has rich roots in New York City.  MOSCOT has been around since 1899 when Hyman Moscot arrived in the States from Europe.  The brand was officially created in 1915, and the rest is history!

Due to the brands strong presence in the eyewear industry, it's no wonder why Kelly chose to feature them as her favourite glasses of 2012.

The MOSCOT EMIS

According to Kelly, "Since 1915, the MOSCOT family has been providing eyewear to customers in New York's lower east side and Spectacle is the only shop in Toronto to offer these iconic urban eyeglasses.  I love the simple detailing, fine craftsmanship, and the hardiness of the frames.  It's really special to have such a well-made product that is unique to our clients".  Stop by our Yonge St. Spectacle location to view our entire MOSCOT collection!
