dbo:abstract
  • Wicked Weasel ist ein australisches Unternehmen, das sich auf die Herstellung von knapp geschnittener Badebekleidung (z. B. Mikrokinis) und Reizwäsche für Frauen spezialisiert hat. Das Unternehmen wurde 1994 von Peter Gifford, dem ehemaligen Bass-Gitarristen von Midnight Oil, gegründet und nach dem Spitznamen seiner Freundin benannt. Gifford eröffnete das erste Geschäft 1995 in Cairns. 1996 zog es nach Byron Bay um und bildet seitdem dort den Hauptsitz des Unternehmens. Zusätzliche Ladengeschäfte in Bondi und Melbourne waren zunächst nicht erfolgreich und wurden 1998 wieder geschlossen. Am 24. Juni 1999 ging die Website wickedweasel.com als erster Online-Shop für australische Badebekleidung online. Bereits 2003 etablierte sich das Unternehmen so als größter australischer Online-Händler für Bekleidung. Aufgrund des großen Erfolges wurden im Dezember 2007 eine Filiale in Sydney und später erneut eine Filiale in Melbourne eröffnet. Ende 2007 wies die Website täglich über 100.000 Besucher auf. (de)

The company was founded in 1994 by Peter Gifford, formerly the bass player for Midnight Oil, and named after his girlfriend's nickname. Initially, the company's products were trial-marketed to Melbourne area strippers. The first Wicked Weasel retail store was opened in Cairns in 1995, but it moved to Byron Bay the following year, where the company headquarters had remained until moving to Mullumbimby in 2020. Additional stores at Bondi and in Melbourne have been opened a number of times with inconsistent success. Wicked Weasel launched www.wickedweasel.com in mid-1999, making it the first Australian swimwear maker to sell online. By 2003, it was the largest Australian retailer of clothing via the internet. As of 2007, the website received over 100,000 unique visitors per day. Wicked Weasel had 45–50 employees as of 2011. As part of a contest, Wicked Weasel also publishes online pictures of women who wear their products. Wicked Weasel products are no longer produced in Australia. The company ceased Australian manufacturing after the relocation to Mullumbimby in 2020 and switched to shipping from the US sometime in 2022 (en)
