The other day I internet met Verónica de Arriba from Granada Spain, she runs a label called Depeapa, which is Spanish for ‘from start to finish’. Verónica started this business in 2007 and when I asked her if she does anything else for a living she answered “I’m illustrator and now Depeapa occupies most of my time. I love my work! I draw, I come up with new products… and I love waking up in the morning and deciding how to plan my day. I would kill for a job like this. Just wake up and make beautiful things till the sun goes down. Yes please.
Verónica sells her stuff in all sorts of countries- Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Hong Kong, you can also purchase her stuff off her Etsy shop or from Envelop
I absolutely love her bearded man that she’s drawn, I asked her who he was, she said she think it’s a Northern fisherman who likes his wife, likes to eat well and likes to read adventure books. Nice! I would hang him around my neck any day of the week.
Verónica has very kindly let me run a giveaway with her, whereby one of you can choose between one of her handmade tote bags, backpacks, brooches or necklaces. All you have to do is visit her Etsy store, pick which awesome piece of Depeapa you would like to swing around town and then leave me a comment letting me know which one you have chosen. Below are only some of her designs, there is lots more to see.
This giveaway is open to everyone, local and international. If you reblog it or tweet about it, let me know and I will enter you again. Competition closes on the 31st of October. Good luck xx

Beautiful! I love the girl with flying bird brooch and the bear on wooden brooch. 🙂
I’m usually far too frightened to enter competitions for the fear of a broken heart (the result of falling too deeply in love and subsequently being disappointed),
but Love Bear is calling out to me. We need to be together, in either shape or form.
I’m not a classy cool blogger, but I did post Love Bear on my Facebook page,
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=582096278
love, a hopeful future Love Bear Lover
the caaaaaaaat with the flower brooch. you’re mean to make us choose, but if we must! Beautiful pieces!

I’ve secretly been in love with the bearded man for months now. I tried ordering him off etsy before but no luck! As the song goes, I’ve been wanting to “kiss him on the cheek” 😉 for a while now. Pleaseee Angie. I would love to wear this beauty around my neck everyday, whilst skipping through endless fields of daisies! That is perfection 🙂
I like the bearded man bag best too!
