The name Two Back Flats is a
dedication to my husband and now more so than when it began. It started on our dining room table in February 2010 as I tried to create the perfect accessory for my Aunt Gloria's 50th Birthday Smash! A trip to Joanne Fabrics, many wizardly mechanical ideas from my wizard husband and my first ever mini top hat was made!
With immeasurable amounts of support from my family and friends. Namely, my dear friend and talented photographer, Leah Miller, I opened
Two Back Flats on Etsy on March 24th 2010! The goal was to apply to a local Baltimore art show. The day I received my "We're sorry, we're full" letter, was the day I made my first sale on Etsy!
When God closes a door, He opens a window...

ETSYMy hats! Oh, my little hats. They have grown leaps and bounds! I have worked with hundreds of brides, burlesque performers, photographers, clothing designers, Birthday girls and boys, Moms, Sisters, Daughters, Husbands, Maid of Honors and everyone in between.
With a competitive market place like Etsy, I owe my successes to my customers. With their faith in purchasing from someone with little experience to the humbling thank you's and reviews. Every gesture of confidence that was given to me and every kind word has made me work harder than ever. Not one hat has come out of my studio that I have not loved completely.
I am so proud of where Two Back Flats has come in such a short amount of time. This year - I am delving into a whole new world with Haute Couture hats focusing on recycled and vintage materials.
See what people are saying:"Jasika, if I could write a sonnet for you I would, but that would mostly likely end in disastrous results! First of all the box that my chapeau arrived in already looked like the gift itself, gorgeous. My hat, how darling, how splendid, it's a petit bijou. It's like I could tuck it inside a magical little curio and marvel at all its fantastic details! And the bonus flower pins were the icing on the cake! My roommate and I couldn't stop staring at your creation, it will be cherished for years to come. Thank you for the fantastic customer care and prompt shipping. I'm sure to be a repeat client! ..."
"My Mini Top Hat is completely perfect! I'm so jazzed. Thank you so much for being so intuitive, for making the perfect hat for my Victorian Le Fey Vert that I picture in my head and for getting it to me so fast! In my humble opinion, every well heeled lady needs a hat from Two Back Flats!"
"True artistry is revealed in Two Back Flats designs and execution. Splendid mini top hat!!!"
Please join me in celebrating today as I celebrate talented, fearless, bold, gorgeous YOU.
And a special dedication to Legendary Beauty - Elizabeth Taylor - Liz, something tells me we would have been friends. Hats off to you! One Love,
Jasika
p.s. - STAY TUNED ON FACEBOOK FOR A TWO BACK FLATS BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY TODAY!!!
This hat is (an accidental) spin on my two ever popular la las. They had a little mixer and we ended up with this treasure. The moment I mixed the fabrics, I knew I had to make this "oops baby" available in my ETSY shop.
