A New Chapter: Judith O’Sullivan Takes the Helm
Judith O’Sullivan purchased Roisin Cross Silks, a thriving business that was then 28 years old in late 2006. She has known Roisin Cross for many years and had assisted with the silk shop as far back as the mid to late 1980’s.
Following the purchase, Judith moved the business to Dun Laoghaire overlooking Dublin Bay. The silk shop was re-launched with a new and extended direction.
In 2017, the magnificent Edwardian building where Roisin Cross Silks resided for 12 years was sold and the business was relocated to Deansgrange
This move was significant and allowed for the opportunity to extend the services of design and making with facilities that could accommodate several fitting rooms in addition to a magnificent showroom.

A Fresh Start in Stepaside Village
In 2022 our business took a new direction and we relocated to a new premises in Stepaside Village. The essentials of the business of importing and selling silks has not changed.
We still source our silk fabrics from the same suppliers in the Far East. We supplemented our collection with the addition of Italian wool crepes, lace and beadings.
This ensures the quality and resilience that has maintained the Company’s reputation of excellence and integrity for forty years. Roisin Cross (often referred to as ‘THE’ Roisin) often pops in to the showroom and shares the many anecdotes that go back as far as 1978.
The Sunday Independent described the type of personal service received and attention to detail offered to that of ‘The House of Elliott’.
