Business

Sisters For Life

OP native Cailee Traen and Nebraska native Caley Cahoy founded Commonlee, a sustainable fashion brand born from their shared passion for fashion and concern over the rise of fast fashion during the pandemic.

• Sustainability >>: Commonlee focuses on sustainability, aiming to create timeless, high-quality pieces that support the local community through a partnership with Rightfully Sewn, emphasizing longevity over disposable fashion trends.

• Fall Fashion: Commonlee takes a unique approach to fall fashion with a twist: cooler, lighter tones instead of traditional darker Earth tones, and their innovative sustainable fleece-lined fabric.

• Sisters: The owners developed their relationship in college as sorority sisters at the University of Nebraska where they built the idea for Commonlee.

You can purchase Commonlee’s loungewear and fall pieces on Commonlee’s website here.
