I was only shown this shop about 1 year ago but it has become one of my favourite shops ever!
It sells many items for the alternative, goth, punk, rockchick style. Including many items such as Band T-shirts, Converse allstars in many different colous and styles, New Rock gothics style boots and much more.
The shop is about 4 storys but instead of going up levels it goes down levels. The shop is always full which makes the shop warm and sweaty eww but its such a great shop why moan about the heat it gives out!

The shop is situated about 5 mins from Birmingham New Street station amongst a big market and near to another simular shop called "Revenge" The Oasis is one of the most popular shops for people of the Gothis, Punk, Skate etc scene to go and purchase new goods from.

The purchases are quite cheap too! But some items can be pretty dear but they are all god quality items to have in your wardrobe.

Level 1

When you walk into the shop is level one. Here is home to all the footwear ranges, Mens tops, Levis jeans, Goth style clothing, PVC clothing (yeah bondage i know), Emily the strange merchandise and much much more. Also upon the first floor is the jewellery section which hosts a wide range of jewellery from gothic rings to punk necklaces. There is also a T-shirt printing shop where you can have anything printed upon a t-shirt for around £5 or more depending on how much you want to place upon the cotton t-shirt.

♥ Other levels ♥

There are more levels to the shop but i am just going to describe them all here. There is a level of which sells pendants, make-up, bags, Gothic trousers and much more. This is one of my personal favourites, as i buy most of my make-up from this section i own the stargazer flurosent Pink and glittery eye shadow which is good but you get glitter alll over your face and indeed your parteners face too.
Another level homes Gorls trousers, tops and converse styles in many different brands from emily the strange to ruby gloom. This level also has girl jewellery, belts and fishnet tights oo and also lingerie of the most wierdest styles!
There is another level which homes all the Atticus and band wear, there is also a section within this level which sells beads, beaded braclets, Badges, pins, plectrum jewellery, Ear stretchers, Patches, Bags and purses. Within the band section to this level are t-shirts and some hoodies from major bands such as HIM, My chemical romance, Funeral For a Friend and many more, both the hoodies and t-shirts are of top quality and the colour doesnt fade much as they are black you would expect them to but they only run during the first wash. Also on this level is a sort of internet cafe where you can sit in your new favourite shop and speak to your friends about the surroundings around you. They also sell belts, sweatbands and hats upon this level.
The Oasis also has its own piercing shop where you can have a wide range of piercings done, or they will simply help you out with a piercing you have already had done.
And why not visit the hairsalon where you can have wild hair and a range of colours within it.

The staff within the Oasis are also very friendly and will assist you with anything from telling you where something is to telling you how good an item of clothing or footwear looks upon you.

Small children may find this shop a little "freaky" so perhaps its not best to take very young children into this shop as they may get disturbed by their surroundings especially if a big Gothic person comes walking behind or infront of them. Also not a very good place for disabled people to go into as it is full of stairs and no lifts are available. The nearest car parking is the bull ring parking.

Oasis Centre - review by student9824

Advantages: Easy to get to, wide variety, competitive pricing, something for all.
Disadvantages: I think it could be improved with having rock music playing rather than radio 1! It is fairly easy to get lost in the first few times, however getting lost in a world of PVC, velvet, and dog collars is not an entirely unpleasant experience!
