Every October, communities around the world unite to raise awareness for breast cancer, the most common cancer among women globally.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, known as October Rose in France, is a time to come together — to share knowledge, raise funds, and stand with those navigating this journey. It is a moment filled with hope and determination, where every action counts.
This year, two female founded brands, French Bloom and Estelle Colored Glass, have joined forces to create something truly special: a limited edition that celebrates life while contributing to an important cause.
Through the October Rose Set, we aim to raise awareness and support research, turning every toast into a gesture of solidarity and optimism for the future.
A Collaboration Born From Shared Values
Inspired by her grandmother Estelle, who cherished the beauty of colored glassware and the art of hosting, Stephanie Summerson Hall founded Estelle Colored Glass to honor craftsmanship and revive the tradition of vibrant glassware at the heart of family and community gatherings.
Across the globe, French Bloom, founded by Constance Jablonski and Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger, set out to reimagine the art of celebration with alcohol-free sparkling wines crafted from organic Chardonnay, combining refinement and inclusivity so everyone can raise a glass together.
Though born from different worlds, both brands share the same values: beauty, craftsmanship, and purpose. October Rose is more than a collaboration; it’s a movement, turning the simple act of raising a glass into one of solidarity and love.
The October Rose Set: Elegance with Impact
At the heart of this initiative is the October Rose Set, available beginning October 1st. This exclusive, limited-edition set brings together the heart of both brands in one beautifully curated offering.
Each set includes:
- Two hand-blown Estelle champagne coupes in a delicate rose hue, symbolizing love, compassion, and hope
- One bottle of French Bloom Le Rosé, our award-winning non-alcoholic sparkling wine known for its refined taste and celebratory spirit
Most importantly, each purchase has a direct impact. 15% of proceeds will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), one of the world’s leading organizations dedicated to advancing life-saving research, education, and patient care initiatives.
October Rose: A Toast to Hope and Solidarity
“We are thrilled to pair the well-acclaimed non-alcoholic wine from French Bloom with our elegant rose pink champagne coupes in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We are proud to support the vast breast cancer community working tirelessly to eradicate the disease and to honor the brave survivors and families who inspire us every day.” - Estelle Colored Glass Founder
“We’ve always believed in the power of celebration without compromise,” says Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger, Co-Founder & CMO of French Bloom. “October Rose is a chance to honor those impacted by breast cancer while raising a glass to hope and purpose. This partnership with Estelle Colored Glass represents the perfect harmony between refinement and solidarity.”
