The 'bag' construction....16 May 2026 01:50
For those who might want to take a closer look at the intricate details..
The Skin (Cultivated Collagen): Unlike modern leather alternatives made from plastic polymers, pineapple, or mushroom mycelium, this material is actual animal leather. Scientists extracted and sequenced ancient DNA structures to reconstruct Tyrannosaurus rex collagen, which was then tissue-engineered and grown in a laboratory incubator tank into a continuous structural hide.
The Hardware (Sterling Silver): The bag features custom-forged, brutalist-style hardware accents made out of solid 925 sterling silver. This heavy metal work forms the structural handle, custom hinges, and industrial closure rivets that hold the structured dinosaur hide together.
The Accents (Black Diamonds): To cement its status as an elite collector's piece, the silver metal fixtures are meticulously encrusted with responsibly sourced raw black diamonds. The dark, shimmering stones were selected by Enfin Levé to complement the distinct, heavily textured, and deeply dark reptilian aesthetic of the lab-grown prehistoric hide.
