“She literally stole my Magnolia.”

Jordan Weingartner, an independent jewelry designer in Florida who created the Magnolia Collection, claims that her logo is being used in Reese Witherspoon’s clothing line and has filed a $5 million lawsuit against the actress, Richard Johnson of Page Six reports.

The article says that Witherspoon is being sued for copyright and trademark infringement because the logo that her fashion company is using is nearly identical to Weingartner’s flower-shaped insignia. “She literally stole my Magnolia,” says Weingartner, who designed the logo in 2008. “My design actually looks nothing like a magnolia, and Draper James not only took the design, but also decided to call it a magnolia.”

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
