Differentiation Strategy
To appeal to the value-conscious shopper, this belt simplifies the design. Instead of the original's "bubble-like" studs, it uses more common and less expensive flat-top studs. The buckle is a standard rounded square, a classic and cost-effective shape. Offering a wider range of basic colors like white and brown can also attract customers looking for more variety at a lower price point.
Success Replication
This product retains the key visual elements that make the original popular: a slim profile, stud embellishments, and a simple, versatile buckle. The success of the Isabel Marant belt lies in its ability to add a touch of "Western-inspired" edge to an outfit, a look this value-oriented version can achieve. By using faux leather and a standard metal alloy, the price becomes more accessible to a wider audience. The design offers a similar aesthetic without being a direct copy.
