How to Identify Authentic Moscot Glasses: A Guide by Millions of Shades

As seasoned experts in the eyewear industry since 2010, we at Millions of Shades understand the frustration customers experience when trying to distinguish between genuine and copy branded glasses. Many buyers unknowingly pay premium prices for copies being sold as originals simply because they lack the necessary knowledge to identify the differences.

This guide aims to empower you with the expertise needed to verify the authenticity of Moscot glasses. Whether you prefer to invest in originals or opt for a budget-friendly copy, understanding the key distinctions will help you make an informed decision.

1. Demo Lens and Logo Details

One of the primary indicators of authentic Moscot glasses is the demo lens and logo printing.

Authentic Moscot Glasses:

• The demo lens (plastic lenses that come with the frame) features the Moscot logo, printed with high precision.
• The font style and alignment of the logo are consistent, reflecting Moscot’s commitment to high-quality branding.

Copy Moscot Glasses:

• There are two common differences in the demo lens:
  • Some include the Moscot logo, but the font style and placement may appear inconsistent.
  • Others do not have any logo on the demo lens, leaving it completely blank.

2. Serial Numbers on the Temples

The presence and quality of the serial number on the temple (the inner side of the glasses’ leg) can reveal a lot about authenticity.

Authentic Moscot Glasses:

• Genuine Moscot glasses have a 6-digit serial number engraved on the right temple.
• The engraving is precise and clean, reflecting Moscot’s high standards of craftsmanship.

Copy Moscot Glasses:

• Most copies lack a serial number on the temple.
• Some copies attempt to replicate the serial number by printing rather than engraving it. These printed numbers are often inconsistent and can easily be rubbed off.

3. Branding on the Legs

Authentic Moscot frames display meticulous craftsmanship in their branding, especially on the inner arms.

Authentic Moscot Glasses:

• Features high-quality engravings that are sharp, consistent, and perfectly aligned.

Copy Moscot Glasses:

• Some copies attempt to replicate the engravings but may result in faint or uneven etching.
• Many copies do not use engraving and instead have a printed logo, which can fade or smudge over time.
• Some versions may not have any branding on the legs at all.

4. Screws Connecting the Frame and Temples

A subtle but crucial detail to inspect is the type of screws used to attach the temples (legs) to the frame.

Authentic Moscot Glasses:

• Original Moscot frames use Philips screws, which have a cross-shaped slot on the screw head.
• These screws are durable and align with Moscot’s meticulous attention to detail.

Copy Moscot Glasses:

• Most copies use flat screws, which feature a single horizontal slot.

5. Case and Packaging Differences

The case and packaging of Moscot glasses are important indicators of authenticity, with distinct differences in quality and design.

Copy Moscot Glasses:

• Typically provided with a hard plastic case, which has a different texture and feel compared to the original leather case.

• The packaging often uses a black and bright yellow color scheme, which may appear more vibrant but differs slightly from Moscot’s original branding
