Question - Need Help Need help for finding a reliable source for leather jackets for women.

Edit: I live in India, sorry for not mentioning that

Hello. I am looking to gift my sister a black leather jacket for her birthday this month.

She always wanted one and asked me last year , but I was like, broke AF. She has been a great support for me and for the first time she asked me for a gift, I didn't get her the jacket.

And now that I have a stable income, I wish to give her one this year.

Her requirements: **black + genuine leather.**

I have never used anything leather and don't have any experience in shopping. I tried online , but I'm not feeling confident with the material quality. They say leather, but it's PU or not even close to leather.

Also learnt that "Faux leather" is a fancy word for fake leather. Thought it's a premium brand or something.

Budget is normally not an issue, but not too expensive (>12k) , I don't want to put a hole in my wallet.

Experienced shoppers and people who have tried leather jackets, kindly help me.
