Our Story

I founded Draper James in 2015 for women (like me!) who wanted clothes that were special, not precious, easy to put together and always polished.

Our Roots

Our name pays tribute to Reese’s grandparents, Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon, two of her biggest influences. The importance of family, friends and enjoying the big and small pleasures of life remain at our core.

Our style

Over the years, we've become a trusted go-to for women of all ages seeking fun, feminine, confidence-inspiring pieces for both the everyday and the special occasion.

Our Stores

Three brick-and-mortar stores include our Nashville flagship - a nod to Reese's hometown - Lexington, Kentucky and an outpost at the Nashville International Airport, for the Draper James woman on-the-go.

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, our goal is to bring contemporary, yet timeless Southern style to your wardrobe and your home, no matter where you live. We hope you will stop in to see us often—our door is always open.
