About Belle-Ve Bricks

Crafting Unique Brick Models with Passion and Precision

Who We Are

At Belle-Ve Bricks, we are passionate about creating custom brick models that inspire and connect. Our love for building has guided us through various ventures, but our dedication to innovative and creative models remains unwavering.

Our Journey

Eight years ago, we discovered the vibrant community of custom model creators. Inspired by their creativity, we shifted our focus from retailing standard sets and components to immersing ourselves in the world of custom models. This transition allowed us to explore new horizons and contribute uniquely to the community we love.

The Best Custom Models and Creations

Unleash your creativity or express your brand with our range of prebuilt and custom models. Whether you’re seeking a unique display piece or a tailored design, we offer solutions that bring your ideas to life.

Belle-Ve Bricks is driven by dedicated enthusiasts Matthew Mitchell and Ferdi Vol (find us on LinkedIn). Together, they’ve built a community of like-minded individuals who appreciate the art of collecting, designing, and engaging with custom models. Their mission goes beyond business; they aim to foster a family of enthusiasts. If you’re interested in building or designing, they warmly invite you to reach out.
