Yes, Oriental original is Dahlal's name for SIM, but It's SIM Moda Evi.
Best regards

I think he answered this question on Bhuz awhile back. They are the same company, and he puts in custom tags for some distributors.

I thought that Oriental Originals, Topkapi Designs, and Marta the Legend Costumes were all Sim Moda Evi, am I correct?

As far as I know, Sim and Marta are different designers.

I have two Oriental Originals and no tags came inside either one of them.

From the sounds of some recent posts about Dahlal it sounds like you just might want to buy it straight from the SIM Moda Evi website. From the post where he responded directly; "Only 2 weeks [to make] and shipping takes 2 days" to get your costume and from the website prices it seems MUCH cheaper.

Either way I love their costumes

My question is why would SIM sell under a different label to Dahlal? Wouldn't it make more sense to keep the SIM name for the recognition?

In any case, I've only owned one SIM and it was a beauty... the service was stellar as well. As long as you can go directly to the source, why not just go for it?

Yes Sim=Topkapi=Dahlal. But I did notice that Sim doesn't give every design to Dahlal so that may be the reason for selling them as two different lines.
