Building Block’s SS14 collection is in keeping with the label’s utilitarian-luxury signature style. The LA-based label is led by sisters Kimberly and Nancy Wu, both originally industrial designers. Their unique approach to luxury is influenced by their backgrounds and is all about stripping back to essentials and editing out excess. Their latest collection, an all-black series of bags, is an elegant affair with items that are a perfect balance of subtle sophistication and everyday practicality.
