Damned recession :(

Oasis, Karen Millen, Warehouse and Principles go into Administration

Seems like they've rescued some of it but could mean big changes. Hope they don't close

Look at it as a time to become one with your spirtiual self and embrace the inner non-meterialistic self. Become a nudist.

Was just gonna say the same thing. They really are overpriced.

Oh my. I noticed Oasis on Henry Street was shut down alright, but I didn't know the whole group had gone into administration. I really like Oasis, not so much a fan of the others. SO long as Topshop and Penneys remain open I'll be happy! And did everyone see that Sasha shut down practically overnight? I certainly won't be missing that particular shop....

No tears there. Oasis and Warehouse have to be two of the most overrated, overpriced shops ever. I remember trying to buy a pair of blue tights in Oasis last summer only to get to the till and be told they were €23! I got a pair later in Monsoon which were pretty much the exact same and slightly thicker for €11.

They're all kind of... bland shops.

Oasis has been **** since the 90's.

Definitely Maybe was all they managed.

In fairness, haven't noticed any shop I'd frequent go down yet, but it's fairly inevitable. I did notice BT2's stuff's all a bit cheaper nowadays. The lads stuff anyway.

How did these shops expect to stay open when the clothes in them were ridiculously over-priced!? :cool:

Alicat

Ah I know they were over-priced, I haven't bought anything from them in months and months :pac:

It was just nice having them there as an option....now they're going I want them back

Wow, and I also thought you were a man.

I was walking by Arnotts in the Jervis SC with the missus earlier on and saw lots of signs saying 'Oasis'. Perhaps they've moved the shop into there from Henry street?

Ginny

They have AFAIK, they had a sign on the henry st branch for ages saying they were moving somewhere.

Thanks for posting that. I was trying to log into the Principles website yesterday and had wondered what was going on.


I always thought that Oasis was overpriced. I liked Principles although found them Pricey but in the last year found the selection poor.
