Meet Jillian Barvir, Founder of Marty Lynn

Marty Lynn began at the meeting point of my hands-on experience in farming, a lifelong love of design, and a desire to build something more rooted. I founded the brand in 2023 to support a growing movement of fibre farmers, grassroots organisations like the Canadian Wool Collective, and small mills working toward a local textile economy. A regional supply chain creates space for community resilience, fair compensation for farmers and artisans, and a slower, more thoughtful alternative to global industrial systems. Through Marty Lynn, I hope to help reimagine how clothing is made, offering garments that are made closer to home, with care for the land and the people who tend it.
