ORTIGIA

Ortigia is a small Italian soap and scent company founded in Sicily in 2006 by Sue Townsend. The name Ortigia comes from the small island that lies at the edge of the ancient, fortified city of Siracusa, on Sicily’s southeastern coast. The luxurious range of soaps, scents, creams, candles and lotions are formulated using natural products indigenous to Sicily and inspired by the aesthetics, colors and scents of Italy’s most historic and tropical region. The perfumes are distilled from the flowers of Sicily by master perfumer, Lorenzo Villoresi. All Ortigia products are made by small family companies who pride themselves on the quality of their products. The highly decorative packaging is designed by Sue Townsend and draws on exotic Sicilian images and colors.
