High-fashion handbag makers are on high alert as scientists claim to have made a groundbreaking discovery in recreating dinosaur skin leather. A team of researchers is working with fragments of proteins extracted from the remains of Tyrannosaurus rex, a species thought to be extinct for 66 million years. The goal is to grow a close replica of the T-Rex skin by the end of this year.
The creation would give its owners an unparalleled historical claim, even surpassing iconic fashion brands like Chanel and Hermès. However, no pricing details have been disclosed yet, leaving fans eagerly anticipating when these luxury items might hit the market.
