The MOSCOT Originals Collection, based on styles from the Moscot family archives from the 1930s - 1980s, celebrates the classic good looks and timeless design born in decades past. If it's not a MOSCOT, it's not an original.
The MOSCOT Spirit Collection departs from the Moscot family archives, but still shares the same great DNA as The MOSCOT Originals. Good genes run in the family.
