Draper James is adding footwear to its assortment with the announcement of a year-long Jack Rogers collaboration.

Reese Witherspoon's brand, Draper James, has carved a niche out for itself as an expertly curated brand devoted to the southern lifestyle. With that awareness, it has announced a new collaboration with footwear label Jack Rogers to release specially branded iconic footwear starting this summer.

The year long collaboration features three styles including a pink seersucker sandal, a blue gingham sandal and a pair that says “Hello Darlin'", joining other sweet sayings on Draper James products like the tote bag that says "Totes Y'all."

The sandals are Draper James' first foray into footwear. They fall perfectly into the Draper James product assortment of sweet southern vibes and the accompanying aesthetic.

Witherspoon said in an official statement that she considers Jack Rogers to be the ultimate summer staple. She continued, “I can’t think of a better complement to our collection than these iconic sandals.”

Jack Rogers brand heritage is rooted in the 1960s. The footwear was made fashionable by Jackie Kennedy who picked up a pair of sandals on vacation in Capri and brought them back to Palm Beach where she had a cobbler custom make more of them for her. As she was a style icon, the Jack Rogers Classic Sandal became a classic piece of warm weather footwear.

The sandals retail for $128-$148 and are available on both the Draper James and Jack Rogers websites.
