Erin Templeton began making leather accessories in 1999 after she returned from studying shoemaking in London, England. After continuing to explore leatherwork in Australia, she finally returned home and focused on creating handbags. 

Today she resides business at her studio in Vancouver's historic Chinatown, where she combines her love of vintage fabrics and leathers to create deceivingly simple handbags using recycled and new locally sourced leather. Her focus on strong, minimal construction allows for each of her pieces to blend easily into the lives of their receiver.
