Ownership and history

Daisy Lee Vintage is owned by Cortney and Caleb Fangman, a married couple who met while working at Forever 21.2 They launched the business as an Etsy storefront in 2013 and opened their first physical store — the Crossroads location — in 2017.23

In a 2020 MIKCexplore profile, the owner described the Crossroads neighborhood itself as formative, recalling exploring it on First Fridays in her early 20s with her now-husband and crediting that experience as shaping the business.3 The shop expanded with a downtown Lawrence, KS location, which press coverage in 2023–2024 described as newly opened and reaching a six-month anniversary.67
