The material follows the 2025 announcement to create T-Rex leather by VML, The Organoid Company, and Lab-Grown Leather Ltd., a group company of BSF Enterprise PLC. The companies have been developing the material for future availability to luxury brands.<\/p>\n A one-of-a-kind handbag was designed by Enfin Lev\u00e9. Founded by Polish designer Michal Hadas, the label creates garments and accessories for men and women.<\/p>\n advertisement<\/p>\n The exhibition will run for six weeks at Art Zoo Museum. After the exhibition, the handbag will be auctioned and sold to the highest bidder.<\/p>\n T-Rex leather is the outcome of a unique scientific collaboration between VML, The Organoid Company and Lab-Grown Leather Ltd., created to demonstrate that the future of luxury leather need not rely on animals being killed for their hides.<\/p>\n T-Rex leather was developed through collaboration between VML, The Organoid Company and Lab-Grown Leather Ltd. The process began with fossilized T.rex collagen sequences. Using computational biology and AI modelling, scientists reconstructed genetic information to form a collagen blueprint. Synthesized DNA was inserted into a carrier cell line, and engineered cells were cultivated using Lab-Grown Leather\u2019s Advanced Tissue Engineering Platform and integrated into its Elemental-X product stream.<\/p>\n The scaffold-free approach allows cells to create their own structure, resulting in a material structurally identical to leather. The material is described as durable, repairable, biodegradable and traceable, and produced without animal slaughter, deforestation or chromium-heavy tanning processes.<\/p>\n Enfin Lev\u00e9 used the material to create the handbag. T-Rex leather will continue to be produced and made available to brands and designers. Initial applications will focus on luxury accessories, with plans to extend into fashion, automotive and other material sectors.<\/p>\n \u201cOur proprietary advanced tissue engineering platform has once again proven its versatility,\u201d said Professor Che Connon, Lab-Grown Leather.<\/p>\n \u201cBy collaborating with VML and The Organoid Company, we\u2019re unlocking the potential to engineer leather from prehistoric species, starting with the formidable T-Rex. This venture showcases the power of cell-based technology to create materials that are both innovative and ethically sound.\u201d<\/p>\n Thomas Mitchell, CEO of The Organoid Company, added: \u201cThis project demonstrates how genome and protein engineering can create entirely new classes of biomaterials. By reconstructing and optimizing ancient protein sequences, we\u2019ve designed T-Rex leather inspired by prehistoric biology and cloned it into a custom-engineered cell line. It\u2019s a bold example of synthetic biology extending beyond medicine into sustainable material innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
