eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee takes a stylish turn in this film from NotReal who mix live-action to feature couture handbags, 2D animation for the type treatments, and CG for the deconstructed components and textures.

Roberto Connolly, EP/partner at NotReal in Madrid: “eBay was in the need of an entertaining and engaging film to launch the Handbags Authenticity Guarantee service.

“They wanted the 60-second film to stand out not only for the eye candy but also for the clever wordplay, tying the message to the monograms. We jumped right into this amazing request, storyboarding from A to Z.

“We focused on showcasing not only the artistry of the handbags but also their supreme craftsmanship and in so doing, demonstrate eBay’s profound understanding and appreciation for what makes a handbag authentic.

“Last but not least, we counted with the amazing voice-over by celebrity stylist and influencer Law Roach from HBO Max’s Legendary.
