The Giant Cali Hoop was designed with memories of time spent in Cali, Columbia, where the women wore large, dramatic earrings, exuding a striking confidence in their femininity. Marching around in my hiking boots and outdoor gear made for some interesting comments from the more fashionable Columbian women. I remember thinking… if only I had a pair of those hoops, I could satisfy my tomboy side and my love for femininity simultaneously.Not everyone likes large earrings… so small became an option.
