Differentiation is primarily achieved through cost-effective materials and modified design details. The use of PU faux leather instead of calfskin is the main differentiator, making the product vegan-friendly and significantly lowering the price. The studs are changed from polished round discs to smaller, more common pyramid shapes, which are cheaper to produce and give the belt a slightly more punk-rock feel, distinguishing it from the Khaite original. Finally, omitting the metal belt tip and using a standard polished buckle finish are subtle cost-saving measures that also alter the final look.

The key differentiation lies in the design of the hardware to create a unique identity. Instead of simple round studs, this design uses small, geometric conchos, offering a more intricate and slightly more bohemian or western look. The buckle is also given a custom, complementary geometric shape. Offering the belt in both black and dark brown with antique-finished hardware provides more variety and a different aesthetic compared to the polished, modern finish of the reference product. Using full-grain cowhide leather maintains quality while being a more accessible choice than premium calfskin.
