Reese Witherspoon - Draper James
Reese Witherspoon, like her Legally Blonde character Elle Woods, can do anything. She created Draper James, a "Southern-inspired retail brand," as a side venture in May 2015. According to Forbes, investors were so thrilled that they invested a stunning $17 million in the firm.
Draper James is named after Witherspoon's grandpa, William James Witherspoon, and her grandmother, Dorothea Draper. The website offers a wide selection of lovely apparel, accessories, and home décor. Every item is on brand, combining southern characteristics such as statement bags and even hostess presents (since showing up to someone's house without one is simply impolite), such as embroidered cocktail napkin sets.
In 2017, the brand collaborated with the premium online store Net-a-Porter. The capsule collection was inspired by 1950s fashion, featuring brightly patterned skirts and tops. Draper James is not merely an online business; it also has physical outlets in the southern cities of Lexington, Nashville, and Dallas. It's only a matter of time before there's a Draper James store in every city.
