We've heard of pineapple leather, kombucha leather, wood leather, and even mushroom leather. But what about real leather grow in test tubes? This is what the venture-backed startup Modern Meadow is in the process of manufacturing. While the collagen-based material that Modern Meadow creates isn't vegan — the production process starts with cells taken from animals — the end result is a synthetically produced, scalable alternative to leather that can be used as a replacement for animal-grown hides.
Modern Meadow has raised over $50 million in funding, recently closing a $40 million Series B round to commercialize biofabricated leather. The company launched in 2011 and is based in Brooklyn.
