About — The Conservateur

OUR STORY

As a student at University of California, Berkeley, Jayme Franklin was disillusioned by the surrounding toxic leftist culture. She discovered that the fashion industry she once eyed for a career had been hijacked by progressive ideology, leaving no place for her.

Jayme began musing about a new magazine for the millions of women who felt culturally disenfranchised as she did.

She joined forces with fellow politico and style guru Isabelle Redfield for an internship in Washington, D.C. After long nights of dreaming and strategizing, The Conservateur was born.

While mainstream magazines celebrate abortion, a backwards dating culture, and Marxism, The Conservateur challenges progressive orthodoxy with an uplifting pro-women and pro-America message.

TC encourages women to reject feminism, and instead embrace conservative values of faith, family, and freedom. From fashion and career advice to cultural and political commentary, The Conservateur inspires women to become the best version of themselves.

The Conservateur’s content and custom clothing allow conservatives across the country women to access fashion without compromising their values. TC is sparking a creative revolution of conservative voices, artists, and entrepreneurs, and we’ve only just begun.

Winning the hearts and minds of women and young Americans across the country, The Conservateur is the new frontier of the conservative movement.
