Handbag made using T.rex fossil goes on sale in Paris

A handbag made with collagen derived from Tyrannosaurus rex fossils from the United States, intended to demonstrate the value of laboratory-grown leather, will go under the hammer in Paris on Thursday (June 11). The teal-colored bag was on display at Drouot auction house on Tuesday (June 9) ahead of the auction. It is expected to fetch between 300,000 to 500,000 euros ($347,000 - 578,000 approx). Scientists behind the initiative said the material was developed using ancient protein fragments extracted from dinosaur remains, found in Montana in the 2000s, which were inserted into an unidentified animal's cell to produce collagen that was turned into leather. The handbag was designed by experimental garment brand Enfin Leve.
