Named for Uncle Heshy. Worn by Andy Warhol

The Miltzen has been in the MOSCOT family since the 1930s named for Uncle Heshy, who everyone on Rivington Street just called "Miltzen." A round, full-vue silhouette in Italian acetate that became one of the most recognizable frames in New York City. Warhol walked into the shop, picked them up, and made them part of his image. Sienna Miller and Sam Smith followed. The frame didn't change for any of them.

Citron/Tortoise is the Miltzen at its most alive. A frame that earns its colour warm yellow-green acetate that moves between citrus and olive depending on the light, paired with Calibar Green glass lenses that filter everything through something cool and considered.

90 years of the same idea.

The Miltzen is proof that the right shape doesn't expire. Round, balanced, full-vue generous enough to make a presence without announcing itself. The Italian acetate builds character as it wears. The glass lenses sit with a weight and optical clarity that polycarbonate doesn't replicate. Three sizes — 44, 46, 49 — because the fit should feel chosen, not adjusted.

Five generations of the Moscot family have made this frame. The 6th will too.
