FRENCH BLOOM X ESTELLE COLORED GLASS

French Bloom x Estelle Colored Glass: Raising a Glass to Hope this October

October is a month marked by a powerful global movement: Breast Cancer Awareness Month, known as October Rosein France. During these thirty-one days, communities across the world unite to raise awareness, fund vital research, and support those affected by breast cancer. It’s a time to reflect, to share, and to stand together in the fight against a disease that touches millions of lives every year.

This year, French Bloom and Estelle Colored Glass are joining forces to bring a touch of elegance and meaning to this important cause. Their collaboration, the October Rose Set, is more than just a beautifully designed limited edition, it’s a symbol of hope and solidarity, turning every celebration into an act of purpose.

October Rose: A Global Movement of Hope

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Each year, over 2.3 million women are diagnosed, and behind these numbers are individuals, families, and communities whose lives are profoundly impacted. While advances in research and early detection have significantly improved survival rates, there is still much work to be done.

The message of October Rose is clear: awareness saves lives. When breast cancer is detected early, the five-year survival rate can reach 99%, making regular screening and education essential tools in fighting the disease. Beyond detection, continued research is crucial to developing better treatments, improving care, and ultimately finding a cure.

Throughout October, the world turns pink, from ribbons worn on lapels to landmarks illuminated in soft rose hues, reminding us of the collective effort to bring hope and progress. It is a movement rooted in compassion and determination, where every action, no matter how small, contributes to a brighter future.

A Female-Founded Brand for a Fast-Evolving Audience

French Bloom and Estelle Colored Glass share a common mission: elevating life’s most beautiful tables and moments. French Bloom is renowned for its award-winning non-alcoholic sparkling wines, crafted to bring people together to celebrate, leaving no one behind. Estelle Colored Glass complements this vision with its hand-blown glassware, timeless pieces that add color, elegance, and artistry to gatherings.

Together, they create experiences of beauty and connection, turning each toast into a meaningful memory.

French Bloom was founded by Constance Jablonski and Maggie Frerejean-Taittinger, two visionary women who wanted to redefine the way we celebrate. Their goal was simple yet transformative: to craft a sparkling wine that would allow everyone, whether drinking alcohol or not, to fully participate in life’s special moments. Made with organic Chardonnay, French Bloom wines are proof that elegance and inclusivity can go hand in hand.

For Stephanie Summerson Hall, founder of Estelle Colored Glass, the inspiration came from her grandmother, Estelle. A woman who cherished vintage glassware and the art of hosting, Estelle’s spirit lives on in every piece the brand creates. Each glass is hand-blown by skilled artisans, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern sophistication.

Their collaboration was a natural fit, born from shared values of beauty, purpose, and connection. Together, French Bloom and Estelle Colored Glass have created a product that not only delights the senses but also contributes to a cause that touches millions worldwide.
