Erin Templeton

The vendor's own story page and press describe Erin Templeton as a single founder-designer who has run the business from her own storefront since 2007, and the site footer's copyright names only "Erin Templeton" with no Inc. or Ltd. suffix. Corporations Canada returned zero results for a federal search, which fits a BC sole proprietorship or provincial registration; the BC Registry search tool did not render for this session, so the legal entity could not be confirmed in a registry.

The about page says all designs are "lovingly handmade in-house" and the contact page places that storefront/studio in Vancouver's historic Chinatown at 511 Carrall Street; press coverage (Globe and Mail, CBC) consistently describes the bags as handmade at that studio, with no other production site named.

The vendor says bags are made from "recycled leather or imported cowhides," and the vintage side of the business is sourced by the designer as a vintage buyer, which points to a majority of locally-sourced or reclaimed material; the imported cowhide's country of origin is never named on the site, so the foreign share is an estimate rather than a documented figure. The storefront runs on Shopify, a US platform, but material inputs dominate the mix per the skill's guidance.
