For those surprised by the cost, this is an Issey Miyake product, and the price is in-line with that. It's no different than the $800+ Hermes leather Apple Watch straps.

Also made in Japan
I'm as big a weeb as anyone but this is a textbook example of:

In the context of this thread it's not so egregious. It was "It's expensive because it's designer" "Also because it's made in japan".
It's an economic fact that a factory worker in Japan will have a higher salary and more overhead than a similar worker in Vietnam or China.
