Erin Templeton is a Vancouver based sustainable designer, who is about to celebrate a pretty important milestone in the fashion world- ten years in the business! Born and raised in the mountains outside Vancouver, Erin eventually moved to London to study shoemaking and it was at Cordwainer’s College that she started out making accessories from material scraps. In keeping that resourceful and sustainable attitude at the heart of her work, to this day, Erin still incorporates used leathers in her accessory and bag designs. She also makes all of her products locally and by hand. As a designer, she enjoys a lifelong love of vintage, which influences her timeless, classic and minimalist chic pieces! You can purchase Erin’s designs via her website. Great to see yet another sustainable and savvy designer enjoying success. Here’s hoping there are many more decades to come!
