About Us

Hi, I’m Talie, the founder of Darker Desires! My love affair with latex began back in college- I was fascinated by the way it moved, shone, and transformed the body. Since then, it’s been my mission not just to make latex, but to wear it and bring it to life in ways that are fun, bold, and a little bit daring.

Outside the studio, my world revolves around cosplay and burlesque. Performance, character, and seduction are at the heart of everything I do, and bringing latex into my cosplay has been an irresistible creative playground.

In 2025, we decided it was time to rebrand. Our new logo finally felt like me, and we took the leap from our little Etsy shop to our own website! A space where our vision could truly start to shine. And trust me, 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year, with some very special things on the horizon 😍

Darker Desires is a small UK-based brand creating handmade latex fashion and delightfully kinky accessories, crafted with care in my workshop.

Handmade, made for you

At the heart of Darker Desires is handmade latex. Many pieces are made to order, created especially for you rather than pulled from a shelf, but you’ll also find a small selection of ready-made latex items, sample pieces and kinky gifts available to buy. We focus on clean finishes, quality materials, and thoughtful details, the kind that make a piece feel special every time you reach for it.

If you need something for a specific date, just get in touch before ordering (or as soon as you place your order) and we can tell you what’s possible.

Body inclusivity, always

Latex isn’t just for one look or one body type. we want to see every body in latex! Confident, comfortable, and celebrated. If you’re unsure about sizing or want to explore made-to-measure options, we're happy to help you find the right fit.

What you’ll find here

• Made-to-order latex garments and accessories
• Chokers, collars, belts, straps, and other kink staples
• A growing range of gothic and alternative accessories and gifts

Nemesis Now

Alongside our handmade products, you’ll also find Nemesis Now - a UK-based brand creating gothic homeware and gifts. Our founder has been a personal collector for years, and we have chosen a small selection of our favourites to feature in the shop. They fit perfectly within the Darker Desires world: gothic, playful, and made to be collected.

A quick note on dispatch

Latex items are dispatched separately from non-latex items to keep everything protected and handled properly.

Thanks for supporting our small growing studio and welcome to our little corner of the internet <3
