About Twenga
Bastien Duclaux and Cédric Anès created Twenga in 2006 after they realised that only a tiny fraction of today’s hundreds of thousands of online shops could be found through traditional search engines and directories. Consumers were missing out on great products and great deals and shops were missing out on customers. Twenga solves this problem.
News Facts
- Twenga, the new-generation search engine enables millions of shoppers throughout the world to find what they want, at the best price, from the online shop of their choice.
- Thanks to its home-grown technology, Twenga automatically gathers offers from online retailers and displays them in one searchable interface. As a result, Twenga has the most comprehensive listing of online shops. Its search results are objective and not biased by commercial relationships.
- Founded in 2006 by Bastien Duclaux and Cedric Anes, Twenga runs 14 sites, including the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Brazil, Russia, the United States, Australia and India displaying more than 250 million offerings from more than 100,000 online shops.

Children’s costumes up 150%: Halloween is no longer the only dress up day
Disney characters soon to be dethroned by anime heroes?
New York – August 24, 2010 – Costume frenzy has taken over the whole year with children’s costumes the fifth most popular item on Twenga (http://www.twenga.com), the new-generation shopping search engine. Visits have constantly increased over the last months to reach a massive 150% surge in July.
Halloween is not the only day to dress up anymore. Ghosts, witches, vampires and other creatures of the night may have the lead in October but Disney characters from Donald Duck to Pocahontas are the most searched for children’s costumes since April. Despite being the top searched for characters, these classic icons are slowly being caught up by new popular anime heroes such as Bleach (5th place), Zelda (7th) and Totally Spies (10th).
Looking at more general themes such as Vikings, Bullfighters and Musketeers are also an easy way to find a fun outfit in just a few minutes.
