Designer Profile

Leanne Haining & Scott Kelly initially met in southern Turkey while exploring the fragrant filled bazaars of the East. Their travelling experiences throughout the Middle East, India & South East Asia restored an appreciation for life's simpler pleasures. Upon their return to Sydney in 1995, this experience was translated into a desire to create a range of beautiful bath & body products that enhance & celebrate everyday rituals.

Urban Rituelle emerged from the creative pool of an inner city Sydney designers market, while Leanne was studying a Bachelor of Visual Arts in Ceramics. Leanne draws inspiration from her love of art, travel, fashion, textile design & graphic imagery. The success of the product launch led Scott to take the plunge & leave his employment within the film industry, to pursue with Leanne, their common goal of establishing a company with International brand status.

Leanne's background in Retail, Visual Merchandising & Design and Scott's years of experience in  Business Management and Marketing have helped steer Urban Rituelle from its infancy in a inner city Sydney market into a successful international business.

In the summer of 2004, Leanne & Scott were married and now have 2 young daughters. Success for Leanne & Scott is about complimenting each other in the nurturing & growth of  their company, while at the same time raising their two lovely girls.
