Researchers are developing a cruelty-free handbag using lab-grown leather mimicking T. rex DNA, marking a pioneering step in sustainable luxury fashion. This innovative material aims to provide an ethical alternative to traditional leather. The collaboration among VML, The Organoid Company, and Lab-Grown Leather Ltd. highlights a process that could redefine luxury goods using ancient biology. With plans to debut a T. rex leather accessory in 2025, this initiative could expand beyond fashion and influence various industries desiring sustainable materials.
The hard bit is making leather from cells, and we've done that. The upstream bit is using existing technologies, which is why we're confident we can do this so quickly.
We're unlocking the potential to engineer leather from prehistoric species, starting with the formidable T-Rex. This first-of-its-kind approach to luxury fashion will influence the future of luxury goods.
