Black and white stripes adorned with green feathers, black ink on white fabric, red ribbons, sequins, beads, quills and cards…these are just of few of the items that decorate the “Tiny Top Hats” created by artist and designer Cassie Scott. At only 26 years of age, Cassie leads her own company—aptly titled “Tiny Top Hats”—and exhibits her work at art fairs and conventions such as New York’s famed Comic Con.
Cassie got hooked on designing hats after she created one for the debut of a “Sherlock Holmes” movie. “I wasn’t impressed with the quality or selection available in the marketplace,” she explained. “I decided to make my own, and it started from there.” Since its establishment in 2009, the company has produced over sixty styles of tiny top hats that are decorated in over 200 styles. “The Joker is my personal favorite,” Cassie confessed. “It’s our newest hat and it has become very popular.” Of all the models offered, those adhering to steampunk style are especially unique since most of them are made from recycled materials and, therefore, no two are exactly alike.
