I would suggest authentic original cables or at least ones that are MFi certified due to the chip in the lightening cable.

Amazon or HighStreet shops such as Carphone Warehouse.

Why don't you fancy Apples own ?

I can only say what they state on their point of Sale on the Website of CEX , which has to be correct legally I would assume.

I tried one from an online retailer which lasted for a few weeks, but wasn't worth the postage to send it back! In the end I used the Priority App and got a discount on a proper in car charger from an O2 store.
I know it might've cost a bit more but it saves carrying cable in car/truck and survived the many iOs updates.

Of course I am going to step in here and urge everyone to buy proper chargers.. For the sake of health and safety

I have seen the results of far too many terrible accidents caused by the use of cheap chargers.....

Just look for the Mfi certification for Apple stuff and you will be fine.
