What is T-Rex Leather™?
T-Rex Leather™ is a novel leather material engineered using reconstructed dinosaur collagen sequences, advanced computational biology and Lab-Grown Leather Ltd’s proprietary Advanced Tissue Engineering Platform (ATEP™).
It sits within our Elemental X™ product stream, where biology, design and material innovation come together to create entirely new leather possibilities.
This is not a surface treatment, a plastic substitute or a coated imitation. It is a biologically engineered leather material created through a scaffold-free process that allows cells to build their own natural structure.
How it is made
To engineer leather from an extinct species, the team began with fossil-derived T. rex collagen sequences.
Using advanced computational biology and AI modelling, the missing genetic information required to form a complete collagen blueprint was predicted and reconstructed. That synthesised DNA was then inserted into a carrier cell line.
Billions of engineered cells were cultivated using our proprietary Advanced Tissue Engineering Platform (ATEP™) and translated into a leather material through our scaffold-free approach.
The result is a durable, repairable, biodegradable and fully traceable material created without animal slaughter, without deforestation-linked hide supply, and without chromium-heavy tanning processes.
