Ten years after Prentiss Douthit launched his popular line of stationery, invitations and announcements—creating a brand known for its sophisticated style and lighthearted wit—he has partnered with William Arthur. We are so excited about this collaboration with Prentiss, and thrilled to announce that the line is now available through our retailers and on our website.
Prentiss and BuddyWith his deep southern roots, and his urbane sophistication, Prentiss combined his love for social gatherings and his passion for graphic design to create an innovative line of stationery. His aesthetic blends tasteful refinement with a distinctive charm and sense of humor. He's enjoyed a very strong following among both enthusiastic customers and retailers, and through high accolades in Vanity Fair, The Wall Street Journal, Town&Country, and many more.
Prentiss really does have a sincere warmth and fresh spirit, so we thought it would be fun to have him answer a few questions. We caught him recently as he traveled the southwest with some friends:
What's on your iPod? A huge variety. Everything from Dolly Parton, Beyonce, Shelby Lynne, Annie Lennox, The Alabama Shakes [check them out! "Hold On" They're going to be huge!], Mary J. Blige to Nanci Griffith. I'm telling you--a wide range. Anything that gets me moving.
What are you reading? I'm working on Pillars of the Earth right now. Just finished Year of Wonders. I guess I'm going through a medieval English theme. Odd, because it's not usually my thing.
Who is your all-time favorite artist, and why? John Singer Sargent. Sargent's work drips with sophistication and talent—there's an economy of brushwork, yet every stroke adds a layer of elegance.

As a creative person, what are you most passionate about? Staying awake and inspired. I work hard to listen to life's whispers. They tell me where I'm suppose to go, and that usually leads to authentic results.
