🔍 How to search for original brands on AliExpress + Chinese Alternatives – Complete Guide

In AliExpress we can find thousands of products of all kinds of categories. But these products are not sold directly by AliExpress but by the different sellers in charge of managing the orders. That's why we have an article with the best sellers on AliExpress, where you can find the most reputable stores by category.

But undoubtedly the best is to buy products from a brand: they specialize in a series of products, they have their own factories, they have their own quality controls, they incorporate the latest improvements in the market… On this platform, we can find a wide variety of brands, both Chinese and international, that are worth knowing. Some even have their own official store on AliExpress.

That is why below we are going to tell you about the best brands that can be found on AliExpress, their features, how to find similar ones if they have an official store … Both international brands and Chinese brands, the latter are becoming more and more famous for their excellent value for money.

Original brands for sale on AliExpress

For some time now, as we have just explained, on AliExpress you can no longer find replicas. Now there are authorized stores that can sell original products. But you still ask us many times about how to find branded products on this platform or how to find replicas of Louis Vuitton, Pandora, Ralph Lauren…

Because it is still possible to find branded products very cheap, are those Nike for 3€ original? Is that Louis Vuitton for 45€ authentic? Although there should only be original products, there are still sellers who offer replicas, hiding the products and if AliExpress detects it, it closes the store so we do not recommend it. That is why in the following table we are going to explain:

1. If the brand is available in its original form.
2. Similar Chinese brands, which make products similar to those of that brand.
3. Searches with which you can find similar white label products (i.e. without logos or recognizable distinctive signs).

Table of less popular brands on AliExpress

We also leave a table of international and Chinese brands that are rarely seen on AliExpress, either because there are no sellers who have it in stock or because they have gone out of fashion. Without further ado, most likely the searches will not give good results, but who knows, maybe you'll get a surprise.

AliExpress brand categories: frequently asked questions

If you are still not clear about the products and brands you can find on this website, we are going to make a brief summary of how we classify the products on this platform and answer some frequently asked questions about these categories:

1. “Recognized” Chinese brands: these are the Chinese brands that are proud of being Chinese, that do not make imitations, and do not hide their logo or their signs of identity. In this category, we can include, for example, technology manufacturers such as Xiaomi or Huawei, and watch manufacturers such as Megir and Shark.
2. “White” Chinese brands: on AliExpress you will also find thousands of “white label” products, that is to say, that they do not have a brand or that they have it very hidden. This does not mean that they are of poor quality, far from it, but that they have come from the manufacturer directly to your hands, without passing through the hands of Western intermediaries who put logos, make them marketing and sell them five times more expensive. In this category, we can find mainly fashion accessories, technological spare parts, household utensils, etc…
3. Fake brands: on AliExpress there are sellers who offer counterfeits of well-known Western brands. But you don't have to be afraid of getting a counterfeit, because these sellers are looking for buyers interested in buying counterfeits voluntarily, and never offer them with the intention to give a pig in a poke. In any case, AliExpress is getting serious about counterfeits and every day it is more complicated to find sellers who have fake products.
4. Original western brands: yes, in addition to counterfeits, AliExpress sells western brands with the permission of the manufacturers. For example, we can find Nike or Converse products. Depending on the brand the price can be similar or lower than what we would find in a physical or online store in our country (the case of Converse is a good example of a cheap original brand on AliExpress).

Is it possible to differentiate an original product from a replica?

We have already told you that now AliExpress does not sell replicas but there are still some sellers who do it in a hidden way or open new stores, how to know in that case if they are replicas or not? It is essential to check the product information before buying.

If the seller is very new, the prices offered are very low and the word “original” does not appear anywhere, it is better to look for another store. In short, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is not. You have more information in our article on how to differentiate an original product from a replica on AliExpress.

What happens if I buy a cheap replica on AliExpress, will I get it?

Many times you write us because you have bought a replica or a branded product too cheap that seemed to be a scam, what happens with your money? If the seller does not send the product, AliExpress will automatically refund your money.

If they sends it but it does not arrive, or it appears as delivered but not to us, we will have to open a dispute. In short, our money is always protected. In our article refunds, disputes, and returns in AliExpress you have more information.

If I buy a replica and it arrives wrongly, can I claim my money back?

This is the only case in which we can have a problem. You have bought a replica but it is not what you expected in terms of finish, quality, size… What to do? Well, in this case, we can also open a dispute but AliExpress may not refund the full amount because buying replicas involves that risk.

So we recommend you to buy in the official stores of international brands or bet on the Chinese brands that we have talked about. We will have quality assurance and more coverage by the website itself in case there is a problem with our purchase.
