"Good girls don't carry a lot of baggage," says Erin Templeton. She should know. The Vancouver-based designer has been making quality bags by hand for a decade, using both new and recycled leathers.

Her tongue-in-cheek quote, though, refers to the Good Girl, a pint-sized bag just big enough for the essentials, but also loaded with clever useful details like a pencil holder and outside zipped pocket. Perfect for cruising into the new year light as air.
