OUR STORY

A GIRL, AN ENGLISH BULLDOG AND A DREAM

Sitting on the kitchen floor one evening with an English Bulldog in her lap, founding partner Michelle Godbout was inspired by her dog Marlow to create a lifestyle brand for pets that truly reflected her own personal style. Drawing from her career in fashion accessories, she decided to commit herself to creating a destination for dog lovers who were seeking casual luxury products for their four-legged best friends.

Soon after starting her new venture, she met future business and life partner, Joey Colosimo, and together they set out on their vision quest in creating M. Barclay.

Marlow, who has now passed on to his playground in the sky is still remembered as their dearest companion and inspiration. And so, M. Barclay is a love letter to him and all our dogs - a token of our appreciation of their steadfast loyalty and a brand that reflects the uncommon bond that we can only find between humans and their dogs.

M. BARCLAY CARES

Our dogs play a vital role in our well-being and M. Barclay cares about emotional wellness and our canine companions. Our bulldog Marlow, despite his prolific drooling, always managed to stir our emotions by teaching us about unconditional acceptance, love and grace. We are grateful to Marlow and all our dogs who help soften some of the harder edges in life.

On behalf of all the dogs that make us smile and feel loved, we pledge our support to causes that promote emotional well-being for those of us who are two-legged.

Let’s go on this walk together…
