oasis vs mulberry.jpg

Oasis has always taken some inspiration from Mulberry when it comes to bags. Prim and proper handbags are the bread and butter of their accessories range. So it's not a huge surprise to spot this Liverpool Street Tote Bag on their website, which has more than a passing resembelence to Mulberry's Electric Blue Ostrich Bayswater bag.
There are differences, obviously. The colour is lighter, the dimpling is inverted rather than goosepimply like the Mulberry, and it's a shorter bag. But they've got the detail right on the tag, the straps that begin half way down the bag and the soft inner lining. 

It's an impressive attempt at the style, although the eagle eyed will spot the differences immediately (no bad thing when you consider Mulberry's legal department). 

The most obvious difference is the price. The Oasis Liverpool Street Tote bag is £40. The Mulberry Bayswater is £3,500.
