My husband buys a lot through AlieExpress. Mostly gelatin capsules and supplements. He has bought me a handbag which was 90% off, real leather and very well constructed. Just remember to read the description carefully, for example they sometimes list a bag as leather, but further down it may be PU leather (which is basically plastic). My bag is a handbag that converts to backpack, 100% real leather and is just what I need for work (I am a disability support worker). So just be careful to read the fineprint and you should have no problems.
