Our STORY

The brainchild of style aficionados and conservative politicos, The Conservateur is igniting a counter-cultural revival among women. 

Our media and lifestyle brand represents American women hailing from all corners of the country. Inspired by the adventurism of the Wild West, the heritage of the Northeast, the charm of the South, and the patriotism of the Heartland, The Conservateur captures America’s quintessential style and traditions. Through elegant design and prose, The Conservateur restores long-lost moral and aesthetic refinement. 

We are blessed to have earned the trust of many devotees from all vocations who look to us to navigate life’s seasons amidst spiritual crisis. No matter the story or subject, The Conservateur delivers thoughtful commentary and insightful analysis. We continue to create beautiful products that reflect American greatness so women everywhere can wear their values on their sleeve. For our followers, The Conservateur is a confidant as much as a bold, contrarian voice. 

Dedicated to timeless truths, our project transcends politics to provide a nostalgic oasis, a spirited salon, and a community for women who aspire to become the best versions of themselves. With its steadfast commitment to excellence, faith, and virtue – even when it’s not in vogue – The Conservateur’s runway is limitless.
