Lab-Grown Leather unveils T-Rex Leather™ jewellery ahead of Cannes Lions 2026

BSF Enterprise PLC is pleased to share that its subsidiary, Lab-Grown Leather Ltd, has unveiled the next application of its world-first T-Rex Leather™ material: a pair of sculptural earrings, following the earlier reveal of the T-Rex Leather™ handbag.

The earrings demonstrate how Lab-Grown Leather's bioengineered material can extend beyond a single proof-of-concept piece into new luxury formats, from handbags to jewellery, and into wider high-value design applications across the Group's portfolio.

Material and design

Crafted from T-Rex Leather™, the earrings combine reconstructed ancient collagen-fragment information with advanced cellular engineering, produced using Lab-Grown Leather's proprietary ATEP™ (Advanced Tissue Engineering Platform) technology.

The design is inspired by the calla flower, from a plant family that shared the Earth with the T-Rex 66 million years ago, pairing that ancient lineage with the structural properties of the material itself. The strength, flexibility and structure of T-Rex Leather™ continues to offer designers greater freedom to explore sculptural form and folded surfaces, supporting more ambitious jewellery design.

The earrings were designed and made in Newcastle upon Tyne by Vicky Wade, owner of Tori Lo Designs, reflecting the Group's continued support for creative talent close to its North East England roots.

Cannes Lions 2026

The earrings will be worn by Dr Emily Telford at the Cannes Lions 2026 Festival, where T-Rex Leather has been shortlisted for Environmental Innovation, building on the global media attention generated by the T-Rex Leather™ handbag earlier this year.
