About
Erin Templeton was born and raised in the mountains outside of Vancouver, Canada. She began making leather accessories in 1999, while studying shoemaking at Cordwainer's College in London, England. She continued to study leatherwork in Australia, and once home in Vancouver, she began concentrating on handbags. By 2007, her studio graduated from renting the boiler room of a local tailor shop to the actual tailor shop, where she opened her studio/storefront to the public in Vancouver's historic Chinatown.
As a vintage buyer by trade, Erin always found the masses of unloved leather inspiring, each piece reminding her of its history. All designs are lovingly handmade in-house in recycled leather, imported cowhides, or a selection of exclusive locally tanned elks and bison. Erin's designs aim to defy trends, using minimal hardware and strong construction, allowing people to adjust, change, and make pieces their own.
It is Erin's hope that each piece becomes a lifelong friend, seamlessly mixing with both new and vintage collections. With a commitment to sustainability and genuine craftsmanship, Erin Templeton represents the best of Vancouver's creative spirit.
