Building Block is an accessories label launched by sisters Kimberly and Nancy Wu in 2011, following careers in footwear design and concept vehicle design. The collection blends utilitarian materials like rubber tubing and wood with leather craftsmanship, producing handbags that emphasize thoughtful construction and precise detailing. The brand's name reflects a belief that each piece is designed to interlock with others, forming a foundational whole rather than rotating seasonally.

Based in Los Angeles, California, the company operates as a small design-focused team. In 2023, after twelve years, the founders closed the original brand and began offering their design vision to global clients through Studio Building Block, a creative office. This shift signals a pivot from a product line to broader design services while preserving the emphasis on geometry and craft.
