World's first T-rex leather bag up for auction

It is blue-green, about the size of an A4 sheet of paper, and is estimated to sell for the equivalent of several million kronor. The world's first bag made from Tyrannosaurus rex skin is expected to be auctioned later this week.

The bag is the fruit of many years of research in which lab-grown leather was developed by recreating the molecular "puzzle" of a protein from a large dinosaur, using artificial intelligence.

"It is impossible to estimate a price for it," says Alexandre Giquello, auctioneer at Drouot in Paris, to BFM TV.

But we estimate that it will go for between 300,000 and 500,000 euros.
