TICKLING OUR FANCY
Perry Street Loves challenges the way we measure luxury. From home accessories, decor and organic skincare sets, to diffusers, candles and tote bags, we invite you to embrace the unique luxury of our products.
We have travelled the world and curated a collection of items that bring us joy. Selecting only true luxury and value over labels. Where every product is as unique as you, our beloved customer, why not learn the story behind Perry Street Loves.
Luxury is experienced differently by each individual - our products and services are selected to meet to those unique needs
Artist Paul, studied architecture and fashion - with an almost predestined pull to retail. Having built a successful career in sourcing products and merchandising; Paul saw how customers interpreted their uniqueness, and strove to ensure that retail outlets embraced this.
Alongside is Brian, a professional chef with a strong feeling for business and a background in finance. Brian pulled huge inspiration for food, colour, theatre, service and style from travelling the world. He wanted to blend what he had learned through years of cooking, culture and business into something amazing. Together, Paul and Brian curated Perry Street.
Married, with a love for travel, embracing global experiences and the beauty of diverse cultures, Paul and Brian wanted to craft an experience of exquisite luxury and uniqueness. Coming from a close-knit family of over 90, demonstrating love through entertaining and food is second nature. From Kathleen’s trifle, to May’s brown bread (which has made it to the current Perry’s Street menu), everyone is welcome, sure we are all family!

March 2013- Searching to craft a bistro dining experience in Cork City that reflected the warmth of Brian’s family heritage and Paul’s love of uniqueness and luxury, we were somehow drawn to Perry Street. This gloomy, dark building with only a flicker of light seemed to whisper, ‘make be beautiful’.
It was truly an uncut gem, with its original architecture, catacombs of storage tunnels and water running down its black walls. Amazingly, among all the degradation of history, a soft collection of white feathers scattered the building- a sign of beauty and a nod to a rich past.
We discovered the building’s incredible history - as the original home of Booth & Fox. This feather mattress and underwear manufacturer defined the meaning of luxury homeware in Victorian society; having even been embraced by Queen Victoria.
The building seemed a complete match for bistro dining, expressing warmth and welcome and saw each person deserving of a luxurious dining experience.
2021- As two individuals with a commitment to embracing the unique beauty of each person, we are now expanding beyond the dining experience, to celebrate uniqueness and luxury through providing a range of products and experiences that will redefine what we mean by luxury, looking at experiences and products across wellbeing and homeware.
Luxury is experienced differently at an individual level, our products and services are selected to meet those unique needs. We hope you too will join the family and love all that is Perry Street Loves.

1841

their famous down quilt was patented, and soon monopolised the home market. Eyelets fitted in the quilts for the purpose of ventilation were unique for the time. The company had a global focus, with other principal centres in Britain: at Hatton Garden in London, Glasgow, and Manchester and the firm’s commercial travellers built up a successful export trade to many countries, including North and South America
1849

On a sunny Wednesday morning in early August, the factory of Booth & Fox was engulfed by flames. Booth and Fox reopened in 1952 opposite the Cork Opera House. However the original home of Perry Street was left burned and desolate.

Perry Street expands to multiple locations. Growing and making mistakes along way. Remaining as committed as when opening Perry Street in 2013. Now with venues across Cork including North Point and Ringskiddy.
