Moscot Frames







The Grover – The Collection’s most creative frame, The GROVER hints of an Aviator but with a lot more attitude. Not a frame for the meek, The GROVER looks best on men with strong features – think chiseled jaw and other prominent manly facial features. Frames feature a Mazzucchelli acetate front with metal temples. Available in Brown or Grey.




The Winston – These frames are big – really big. Stately on men. Sexy on women. Angular and oversized, The WINSTON looks great on large round faces, or anyone who wants a tailored yet oversized look. Frames feature a Mazzucchelli acetate front with metal temples.




The Henry – This frame is based on The LEMTOSH silhouette, but slimmed down look with a thinner gauge and key-hole bridge that’s just a bit more business. Looks great on a square face. Frames feature a Mazzucchelli acetate front with metal temples.


Venerable New York City institution Moscot previews three new frames, available now exclusively from Moscot.com and the Moscot retail shops – a harbinger of its highly anticipated, redesigned and expanded Fall 2010/Winter 2011 Moscpt Spirit Collection, which will feature 20 styles in total and be launched at SILMO in Paris, September 2010.

These new styles – like the rest of the collection – leverage the company’s 95 years of expertise in eyewear, sensibility and downtown New York City heritage, reinterpreting classic design elements from the Moscot Originals Collection for a slightly more progressive, modern look. Each frame is constructed from a combination of metal and the finest Italian acetate – made by the fourth generation Mazzuchelli family – and feature the company’s new branded “M” on the temple tips.

Stacks Captain 3D Glasses


Stacks have produced the first decent looking pair of Circular polarized a/k/a RealD 3D glasses. “We noticed that we were unable to find any RealD glasses that didn’t look like a space alien’s Oakleys from 1984. The same ones you are asked to wear in theaters. Stacks is not an eyewear company, but we do make products that fit our lifestyle, and this is one we felt was worthwhile.” They double as sunglasses, sans UV protection. 


Now available online in the Stacks Shop and later this week at Project Space in Los Angeles.

Based in New York City, Lumete (pronounced ‘lou-met’) is an independent designer eyewear brand for women, by women. Lumete is devoted to creating innovative, fine-quality eyewear and eyewear accessories. Its debut collection of handmade sunglasses combines sculptural detail, symbolic ornamentation and ultrafemininity with an avant-garde edge. Lumete is designed for the confident cosmopolitan woman who seeks unique pieces as a means to express her individuality.

More from lumete :

Lumete’s frames are designed and crafted for the discerning and confident cosmopolitan woman who seeks unique pieces as a means to express her individuality. Lumete’s handmade sunglasses combine sculptural detail, symbolic ornamentation and ultra-feminity with an avant-garde edge. The collection features five styles in four colorways each, incorporating richly-hued acetates with imbued patterns and layers, Swarovski crystals, custom hardware, intricate etching and painting, and flattering gradient tinted lenses. 

Aiming to elevate the importance of sunglasses as the ultimate accessory, founders Clara Herrera and Barbara Warren have launched Lumete as a refreshing, independent alternative to designer brands that license out their logo-driven eyewear lines to optical conglomerates. The difference shows in the uniqueness of Lumete designs, the comfortable fit, and the quality of the materials and craftsmanship.

Lumete proves its love of eyewear not only with its artfully designed frames but also with its unprecedented offering of stylish companion pieces. Each pair of Lumetes comes with an ensemble of accessories to keep and care for your sunglasses, including: signature hard clutch case, lumete locket (a chic eyewear holding necklace), soft pouch case, and microfiber lens cloth, all packed in a satin drawstring gift bag called “the Lumete treasure bag.”

The five styles in Lumete’s eclectic collection symbolize the various stages of a journey toward illumination. 
Attic Safari stands for curiosity and discovery. It seeks to invoke the feeling of entering a dusty attic and marveling at forgotten heirlooms and memory-steeped artifacts. 

Dramolete was inspired by the image of a sun-drunk butterfly fluttering into wakefulness. It represents the moment when inspiration becomes action. Oummaa symbolizes the swirling of the individual imagination with the creative force. Wanderling embodies the experience of the journey itself, as the explorer searches earth and sky in the quest for knowledge. Ulula represents self-knowledge. Inspired by the bird of wisdom, the frame evokes an owl on her throne, contemplating the world.
