A Toast to True Love.

Hollywood has always had a weakness for romance at sea, and few vessels have sailed so gracefully into cinematic legend as the schooner True Love. She first appeared in miniature form in the 1940 romantic comedy The Philadelphia Story, a symbolic nod to the refined sailing life surrounding Philadelphia’s Main Line society. But it was sixteen years later that the schooner truly captured the imagination of audiences. In the 1956 musical High Society, the elegant vessel appeared in full-scale splendor as Bing Crosby serenaded Grace Kelly aboard her deck with “True Love,” one of the most memorable melodies ever written by Cole Porter. The scene captured something timeless: moonlight on polished rails, music drifting over the water, and romance carried on a gentle breeze.

The “True Love” Champagne Flute inspired by that moment borrows its elegance from the schooner herself. The bowl begins narrow at the base, preserving the chill while guiding a stream of bubbles upward like a sail filled with wind. The effect feels both architectural and celebratory. A long, slender stem keeps each pour perfectly cold, while the balanced base rests like a steady keel, planted, unhurried, confident in open water. Pour the Champagne, lift the glass, and imagine the deck lights glowing as the orchestra swells. Some toasts are ordinary. Others belong to a love story the evening was made for.
