ABOUT the BRAND

The Jill Martin brand is a comfort-first lifestyle company built on the belief that everyday essentials should feel as good as they look. Rooted in accessible luxury, the brand has grown from a single breakthrough idea into a category-defining sherpa business with over one million units sold.

What began with the question “Why can’t you wear a blanket outside the house?” led to the creation of the now-iconic Sherpa Lounger, which is a product customers return to season after season for its unmatched softness, wearability, and emotional connection.

Today, the brand continues to expand across apparel, accessories, and licensed collections, pairing proven hero silhouettes with iconic IP. The result is merchandise that is giftable, memorable, and built to drive repeat purchase.

Purpose is central to the company ’ s evolution. Inspired by Jill’s public breast cancer journey, the brand champions comfort not just as a feeling, but as a form of care, supporting awareness initiatives and organizations that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

With powerful storytelling, trusted distribution, and highly recognizable products, the Jill Martin brand delivers consistent performance across retail channels while creating moments customers are proud to wear.
