Elixir + Quill is a team of two sisters with a shared love for BOOKS, cozy corners, BOOKS, self-care, MORE BOOKS, and creating space where women can melt into their pause, refill their cup, and rediscover the beauty of slowing down—something we’re still learning ourselves.
What started as countless cups of tea and late-night “what if we…” conversations slowly bloomed into the little business you see here today. Side by side, we balance each other perfectly—structure and story, precision and passion, spreadsheets and starry-eyed concepts. It’s a sister act built on laughter, long conversations, and the joy of creating something we both were craving more of.
