REESE WITHERSPOON LAUNCHES A SOUTHERN-INSPIRED LIFESTYLE BRAND

Text by Colleen Egan

Reese Witherspoon’s latest role isn’t as an actress, but as an entrepreneur: The Oscar winner has recently launched Draper James, a clothing and lifestyle brand inspired by her Southern upbringing.

Named for her grandparents, Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon, the brand offers clothing and accessories as well as home items such as throws and mint-julep cups. Draper James has also commissioned items from Southern artisans and stores, including a magnolia-shaped sterling-silver bowl by Charleston, South Carolina, silversmith Kaminer Haislip and a set of linen cocktail napkins embroidered with sayings like “Top Me Off” by Savannah, Georgia’s Number Four Eleven. The products are available online, and a brick-and-mortar Draper James store will open in Nashville this fall.

Reese Witherspoon recruits Charleston businesswoman for new fashion line

by Warren L. Wise

P&C_image

Actress Reese Witherspoon launched her fashion and lifestyle website, Draper James, this week. The line includes a silver piece made by Charleston silversmith Kaminer Haislip.

Southern-born actress Reese Witherspoon turned to help in Charleston before she launched her new Draper James sportswear and lifestyle label online earlier this week.

Trying to connect with as many Southern sources as possible, she recruited silversmith Kaminer Haislip for one of her home and entertaining items.

Haislip, from her studio on St. Philip Street, provided a hand-made sterling silver bowl in the shape of a magnolia blossom. It’s priced at $400. “I love to do unusual and unique projects,” she said. “This was a fun project to work on with them. I’m excited they are promoting Southern lifestyle brands. It’s a really good fit for my work.”

Witherspoon’s company also tapped Hanna Nation Seabrook for stationery items.

Seabrook, who lived in Charleston for several years but now calls Kentucky home, provided design work for paper products, such as notecards and notepads, and creative direction for some of the home and gifting goods.

“Being included in this strong Southern line is such an honor,” she said.

The name for Witherspoon’s line is derived from her maternal grandparents, Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon.

I am so excited to announce and launch two new series plus a huge array of new images of my work on my website!

You can see the pieces from my new Appetizer Serving Series and Bar Accessories in my portfolio and they are available for immediate purchase in the Home category of my online Shop. New functional pieces include silver bar spoons, decanter bottle tags, a cheese knife, a spreader, condiment spoons, and an appetizer fork.

My new and original jewelry line Torc Jewelry Series can also be viewed in my portfolio and the pieces can be purchased directly in the Jewelry Category of my online Shop.  The new line includes a bracelet, earring, and pendant.  More designs coming soon!

Additionally, my existing designs got some attention too and you can see those new images throughout the online Shop with the products.  For those of you who know me well, you will recognize several friends and family who were supportive enough to model my work.  Instead of contrived models in fantasy settings, I choose to use real people in settings that portray my work in a natural environment.  Who better to represent my work than the people closest to me who inspire me everyday with their own unique style?

Check out the images by clicking on the product!  Images of my functional pieces in use, jewelry being worn in several real life settings by a variety of age groups, and an adorable baby playing with his rattle and eating from a baby spoon are just some of the outstanding ways my work is portrayed!  Enjoy!

Many thanks to Paul Cheney and Jason Kaumeyer of JWKPEC for all of the awesome photography!!! Check out more of their work at http://jwkpec.com.
