While the Lfa students and trainees are busy working on their leather creations, there is also a lot going on behind the scenes … Hanneke has spent a lot of time organizing the business and legal side of the Lfa. And this has not been without results as Leather fashion academy now holds a registration with the Central Register of Short Professional Education. Among other things, this means that the program will be VAT-free for students starting August 2019; reason enough to pop a bottle of fine Champagne!
