> Using fossilized T-Rex collagen as a blueprint, the production process will involve engineering cells with synthetic DNA, designed by The Organoid Company, which are then integrated into Lab-Grown Leather's Elemental-X™ product stream. Unlike other bio-based alternatives, Lab-Grown Leather’s "scaffold-free" approach allows cells to create their own natural structure, resulting in a material that is structurally identical to traditional leather.

It's unclear to me the degree to which using collagen as a 'blueprint' makes this Tyrannosaurus leather, but it's a fun marketing gimmick. Jurassic Purse.
