Are you looking for contemporary Southern style? If yes, I
think I found the perfect brand for your review. Have you heard about Draper
James?
Reese Witherspoon started this company to honor her Southern heritage and in particular her grandparents
who were, and still are, the greatest influences in her life. Her grandparents
Dorothea and William James Witherspoon taught her almost everything she knows
about gracious Southern living. They helped her with the fine art of dressing
and acting like a lady. Additionally, they helped her understand the important
concept of taking pride in one’s home, to reach out to help a neighbor, and to
always invite everyone in for a visit.
As a Southern Belle, her grandmother Dorothea only drove
white Cadillacs and always wore proper driving gloves. She didn't have a lot of
dresses, but she had an incredible sense of style and knew how to make the most
of any outfit by wearing the perfect accessories. Her shoes always matched her
purse and she never removed her pearls or her wedding ring.
According to Reese, her grandmother Dorothea was also a
wonderful hostess who always made more food than was necessary and sent people
home with fresh homemade biscuits and vegetables from the garden.
Reeese Witherspoon’s Grandpa James could charm anyone. He
taught her that good manners and great style go hand in hand.
After Reese returned to Nashville with her own family, she
was eager to recapture and celebrate all that she loved and remembered about her
grandparents and the South. That is why she created Draper
James.
Whether it’s Nashville or New Orleans, Beaufort or
Birmingham, there is a special breed of charm and grace that’s signature to the
American South. With Draper James, the goal is to bring contemporary, yet
timeless Southern style to your wardrobe and your home, no matter where you
live. They hope you will stop in to see them often and they say that their door
is always open.
