'It's about freedom': Ban boosts burkini sales 'by 200%'
24 August 2016 Europe
The Australian woman credited with creating the burkini says bans on the full-bodied Islamic swimsuit in France have boosted sales.
The clothing - which combines "burqa" with "bikini" - leaves only the face, hands and feet on show.
Aheda Zanetti, who claims the trademark on the name burkini and burqini, said online sales were up by 200%
The 48-year-old Sydney woman said the swimsuits represented freedom and healthy living - not oppression.
