Leonie, a Perth-based grandmother of nine and education assistant in a primary school, was innocently enjoying a cocktail in the pool of her Bali resort last September, when a blonde lady approached with a bizarre request.  “Will you be my model for a clothing range I am launching? I’m desperate?” she asked.  Leonie burst into laughter.

I’m so excited to tell you about my secret project for the past year - Taeeta. It’s my new fashion label, and it will bring you all the high quality and excellent customer service you’ve come to expect from Desiderate. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve struggled to find fashions that suit my figure, feel comfortable to wear and look great. I don’t want to dress like a dowdy Grandma (even though I am a Granny). I don't mind paying a bit extra for quality that will last, but I don’t want to pay a fortune for a designer label.  And I knew I was not alone.  Speaking to friends and potential customers, everyone said the same thing. ‘I want fashionable clothes that look great, fit well and don’t cost a fortune!’  And so Taleeta was born.
