You'll have to take my word!
Manufactum is not a random online retailer. They have been around for some time, and have a certain reputation around here. They have been selling things from a paper catalog before the internet got popular. They actually still have paper catalogs, and reading them is a wonderful pastime. (I don't really use the website much, unless I am looking for something specific)
But even if you don't trust me, at least they have very detailed descriptions and high resolution photographs of the products on their site.
And if you order something, and you end up not liking it, you can always return it (eg. for a leather bag it's hard to judge from a photograph if you like it or not).

My problem is that there's just so many fly-by-night stores selling the same chinesium with varying degree of markup - from "we just import this stuff" to "we put nice photos and descriptions, and pretend we're a premium brand" - that I just gave up and don't try to discover new stores myself. I only check them out based on word of mouth now. Beyond that, I either buy a particular item of known quality, preferably from manufacturer or a bigger chain (so I have legal recourse if they screw me over), or accept that what I'm going to get is going to be garbage.
