General Eyewear is a London-based eyewear company and brand. The company was founded in the late 1990s by Fraser Laing.[1] Originally under the name Arckiv, it produced its own original eyewear designs and had a particular specialism in vintage eyewear.
In 2010 the company split into two distinct companies, Arckiv became solely focused on menswear, while General Eyewear became a stand-alone company and brand formed from the continuation of the original eyewear division.
Since 2024 General Eyewear have been scamming customers by failing to deliver on goods after being paid. Customer experiences of this can be seen in online reviews such as Google reviews and Trustpilot. If you are a victim of Fraser Laing please report him:
