A NEW branch of a blossoming offshoot of major fashion retailer Oasis has opened on Haslemere High Street.

Building on the success of the first branch of Little House of Oasis boutique in Farnham in 2016, four more outlets have been opened, making the Haslemere branch the fifth.

Haslemere mayor David Round officially opened the latest addition to the chain, which occupies the former East store that closed earlier this year and has undergone a speedy refit.

Keen to forge close community links, the new shop is already supporting Haslemere Hares charity arts project by displaying a hare decorated by Northchapel Primary School pupils in the window.

Store manager Sophie Aldous (pictured far right with the mayor and fellow team members) said: “All our staff are local and we have a staff member who worked in East, which is really lovely.

“We have had a great welcome from the other High Street shops.”

Weekend supervisor Jo Burns added: “Customers absolutely love the new boutique and we have had some great feedback.”
