Working with hides-both new and recycled-since 2000, local designer Erin Templeton's earned a following for unique bags, belts, cuffs, hats and flip flops. In her wee storefront/studio beside the even skinnier Sam Kee building, she creates affordable leather must-haves, often in a riot of bright colors, mixing in some lovingly selected vintage pieces and statement-making jewelry. One-of-a-kind change purses make great gifts, and generously-sized totes carry your style through several seasons. Closed Sun/Mon/Tues.
