This is probably Arnold Putra, who two years ago made world news when he announced a bag that had a human spine for a handle. The designer also claims to use albino skin and plastinated human organs.
Putra has also sparked controversy for allegedly trading human body parts for counterfeit products with indigenous peoples of Papua New Guinea, Oceania.
The UEA, an institution of the government of Amazonas, reported that it opened an investigation to investigate the case. Until the conclusion of this text, the report was not able to contact the professor.
