Welcome to The Literary Relic—a place where stories, creativity, and nostalgia come together.
I’m Hannah, a Chicago-based pediatric physical therapist, lifelong reader, and the creator behind The Literary Relic. Books have always been more than just stories to me; they’ve been places to escape, lessons to carry with me, and memories woven into every chapter of my life. (I’ve read the Harry Potter series seven times—and I’m not stopping there!)
The idea for The Literary Relic began with my own book-themed wedding, where I discovered how much I loved transforming my favorite stories into tangible, meaningful details. That passion grew into a shop dedicated to celebrating the magic of reading through thoughtfully designed bookish goods.
Each item is created with fellow readers in mind—from stickers and bookmarks to apparel, artwork, and future collections of carefully crafted rebound books. I’m especially passionate about giving old books new life through sustainable, creative restoration, blending my love of storytelling with the beauty of preserving literary treasures.
Beyond celebrating fictional worlds, The Literary Relic is also a space that recognizes the power of stories in our everyday lives. I believe books can provide comfort, connection, and healing, which is why you’ll find pieces inspired by mental health awareness, self-care, and the reminder that every person’s story matters.
Thank you for being here and supporting this little corner of the literary world. Whether you’re searching for something to celebrate your favorite book, decorate your reading space, or simply bring a little more magic into your day—I hope you find something that feels like it was made for you.
Happy reading,
Hannah
