Urban Rituelle is a family-owned and operated business, founded in the Sutherland Shire in 1999 by husband and wife team Leanne Haining and Scott Kelly. Leanne grew up in the Sutherland Shire and loves the area. After travelling overseas, she returned to buy a first home and establish a new business with her husband.
Urban Rituelle has now been operating for 23 years as a boutique manufacturer of natural, Australian-made bath, body, skincare and home fragrance products. The company’s founders focused on developing exceptional products and formulations, signature scents, sustainable packaging, high-quality natural and organic ingredients and unrivalled customer service.
Leanne comments, “The Sutherland Shire offers a wonderful environment for businesses like Urban Rituelle. Its strategic location allows the company to employ like-minded, values-driven people who appreciate working in their vibrant local community. Additionally, the area boasts a thriving business community, fostering collaboration and networking opportunities.”
From its Caringbah premises, Urban Rituelle successfully operates as an Australian manufacturer, wholesale distributor, online and offline retailer and exporter. The founders embrace their responsibility to manufacture in Australia and use their voices to encourage others to support Australian-made products.
Urban Rituelle is proud to employ a committed team of 15 across their administration, production and warehouse facility. Team members can live locally and enjoy the benefits of a Sutherland Shire work/life balance.
Known as one of the most distinctive designers and manufacturers in the Australian gift and homewares industry, the innovative shire-based company has won multiple awards, including finalists in the Australian Small Business Champions awards.
Leanne and Scott understand the importance of community engagement, and the directors actively participate in local events and sponsor community programs. They believe in giving back to the community that has supported them throughout their journey. Urban Rituelle donates hundreds of beautiful hampers each year to local schools, hospitals, and clubs and supports fundraising events. By staying involved, they can contribute to the growth and prosperity of the Sutherland Shire
