About Natalija Walbridge

Artist Natalija Walbridge is a fiber artist behind the brand Dock 5.

During her previous career as a corporate fashion designer, she watched the business model change from local production of speciality items, to global production of cheap, fast fashion. Her soul was longing to work in a way that would have less environmental impact while using art to create community dialog, so she took a leap of faith to become an independent artist.

She believes that quality craftsmanship equals sustainability. That's why her canvas bags are built to last. Everything is made in small batches in her home studio.
