      I already have made 2 belts. One for myself and one for a co-worker's mom. The one for the co-worker's mom was based of Rey's belt from Star Wars. Belts are easy to make, but hard to make at the same time.

    That's a really cool design for a belt. I like the fact that the belt returns to the same length every time it's put on since the adjustment and buckle are separate. I build belts with a similar separate adjustment method but I use old seat belt buckles from salvage yard cars.

The quality of the leather they use is quite nice, so of course the price is going to be substantially higher. Plus these are handmade, so you're also paying an appropriate wage for an artisan maker (as opposed to the slave-labor wages paid to sweatshop workers in dangerous conditions making cheapo mass-market low-quality belts for the discount market) and they're made on a small scale, so they're paying "small scale" wholesale for all their materials (including the custom hardware) vs "buying cheap leather and fittings/findings by the shipping container" volume pricing.
