Rooted in Heritage, Driven by Purpose
At its heart, Yavar is about connection—fostering meaningful relationships through ethical trade, bridging distant cultures, and honoring the balance between past and future. Based in Ottawa, Yavar shares Mongolia’s rich textile heritage locally and across the globe, building a brand rooted in equity, sustainability, and authentic community.
Our Journey
Long before Yavar was born, its roots were planted on the windswept steppes of Mongolia. Working alongside local herders and textile producers on international export initiatives, Uyanga Chuluun-Erdene witnessed the mastery behind the world’s most prized natural fibres—and how authentic craftsmanship could uplift entire communities.
In early 2020, Uyanga and her husband, Joshua Lanthier, arrived in Ottawa for what was intended to be a short visit with family. When the world came to a sudden pause, their temporary stay turned into a new life in Canada. Facing freezing winters far from home, Uyanga set out to find a piece of comfort she knew well: a genuine, pure Mongolian cashmere scarf. What she and Joshua found instead were low-grade wool blends mislabeled as pure cashmere. Having spent years working on government-led textile initiatives in Mongolia, Uyanga knew the unparalleled quality of cashmere fibres—and knew Canadians deserved the real thing.
Realizing that true Mongolian cashmere was virtually nonexistent in Canada, the couple saw both a purpose and a bridge to build. Combining Uyanga’s background in textile export development with their shared commitment to sustainable luxury, Uyanga and Joshua launched Yavar in November 2022—connecting conscious Canadian buyers directly with the centuries-old heritage of Mongolian herders.
Every Thread Holds a Story
For Yavar, cashmere is never just a product—it is a living connection to Mongolian culture. Every scarf, sweater, and accessory is crafted in Mongolia by skilled artisans using traditional, low-impact techniques refined over centuries. From hand-combing raw fibres on the steppe to spinning them into enduring luxury, Uyanga and Joshua work directly with local herders and producers to ensure fair livelihoods and sustainable practices. Today, these heirloom pieces are shared across Canada through seasonal markets, pop-up events, and their growing online boutique—bringing authentic warmth straight from artisan hands to yours.
