Retailer Begins Selling the Southern-Inspired Line
(September 2016) Monkee’s Boutiques is proud to announce that it is the first retailer of Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James lifestyle brand.
Monkee’s boutiques here and throughout the country are now selling a limited edition assortment from Witherspoon’s Draper James collection. You are invited to get a first look at this highly sought-after fashion line with the decidedly southern drawl. Monkee’s, a national franchise with a location in our area, is the only store to sell Witherspoon’s Draper James collection outside of Draper James’ online operation and their only retail store, located in Nashville, Tennessee.
Draper James is a retail brand with a focus on fashion, accessories and home décor inspired by the American South. The brand is named after Reese’s grandparents, Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon, who remain today her greatest influences.
“We’re excited to be offering this coveted brand in our stores,” said DeeDee Shaw, Founder and Co-CEO of Monkee’s. “Monkee’s is a must-shop for any southern fashionista and Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James collection embodies southern style. It is a perfect fit. We can’t wait for our customers to have the rare chance to shop this collection in person.”
The Draper James brand is true to its Southern heritage with bright, lively and girly prints, and the team and its customers live by its “unapologetically pretty” mantra.
“Draper James is dedicated to making pretty, feminine clothes. We love color and we aren’t afraid of a pattern or two. Monkee’s has a like-minded aesthetic and a clear passion for dressing southern women, so we feel it’s the perfect partnership,” says Andrea Hyde, CEO of Draper James. “We are excited to share the many special pieces of our collection with the Monkee’s customer and to have a presence specifically in college towns that embody the Southern Draper James spirit.
