Moscot Lemtosh Sunglasses

Moscot has been crafting eyewear on the Lower East Side of New York since 1899, and the Lemtosh is their most beloved and enduring design. These round sunglasses feature a substantial acetate frame with a slight panto shape that has been continuously refined over more than a century to achieve its ideal proportions. The Lemtosh’s distinctive flat bridge and wide acetate construction give it a strong, confident presence that has attracted a loyal following among artists, musicians, intellectuals, and tastemakers. Available in a carefully curated selection of handmade acetates including matte black, tortoise, champagne, and rose, each frame is finished in Moscot’s New York workshop with attention to traditional craft techniques. The sun lenses are available in solid and gradient tints with UV400 protection, and polarized options are available for enhanced light management. The frame measures 49mm and 46mm in lens width, with a large size option in 52mm to accommodate different face sizes. The Lemtosh’s cultural significance is reinforced by its associations with celebrities including Johnny Depp and David Hockney. Each pair comes in Moscot’s heritage-style case with a cleaning cloth and brand history card.
