BSF Enterprise PLC:
A Historic Milestone in Luxury and Biotechnology -
World's First T-Rex Leather™ handbag to be auctioned
BSF Enterprise PLC ("BSF" or the "Company"), a global pioneer in lab-grown tissues and sustainable
biotechnology, is pleased to announce a landmark event in the evolution of luxury materials. Its
subsidiary, Lab-Grown Leather Limited, has officially appointed the prestigious Paris-based auction house
Giquello SAS to facilitate the sale of the world's first-ever product crafted from T-Rex Leather™.
Engineered using reconstructed dinosaur collagen and brought to life without harming a single animal, T-
Rex Leather™ made its first public debut on 2 April, where the one-of-a-kind, Enfin Leve designed
handbag was unveiled at the Art Zoo in Amsterdam.
A Preeminent Stage for a Masterpiece
The auction will be a centerpiece of Giquello's renowned Tentation°4 sale, scheduled for 11 June 2026 at
the historic Drouot headquarter in Paris. Giquello SAS was specifically selected for its unrivaled expertise
in natural history and high-value curiosity sales, providing the perfect bridge between prehistoric legacy
and futuristic innovation.
VML Paris, a key partner in the creation of T-Rex Leather™ and a driver of its initial media success, will
lead the promotion of the auction, ensuring this historic milestone resonates with audiences worldwide.
BSF views this auction as a transformative opportunity to showcase the Company's innovation to the
global market:
● Global Prestige: Hosting the event at Drouot, Paris-the epicenter of the French art market-elevates T-
Rex Leather™ to the status of a masterpiece, engaging an elite international network of collectors and
connoisseurs.
● Market Disruption: This milestone validates the commercial viability of the proprietary ATEP™
platform, demonstrating that cultivated leather can compete at the highest echelons of the luxury
industry.
● Brand Amplification: Collaborating with VML Paris ensures a sophisticated campaign, positioning the
brand prominently before luxury, technology, and design audiences worldwide.
CEO Perspective: Defining the Future of Luxury
Dr. Che Connon, CEO of BSF, stated:
"The auction of the world's first T-Rex Leather™ product in Paris is a watershed moment for our Company
and our shareholders. By partnering with Giquello-a titan in the world of rare collectables-we are
showcasing the immense value of our cultivated materials on a global stage. With the strategic support of
VML Paris, we are not just selling a product; we are introducing a new asset class to the luxury market.
This represents the pinnacle of what our biotechnology can achieve, merging the majesty of natural
history with the ethics of tomorrow. This is an exciting moment for T-Rex Leather™ and for the wider
potential of cultivated materials in luxury, fashion and design."
