Boucherouite Earth-Tone Checker — Reclaimed-Textile Runner

A thoughtful boucherouite runner composed from reclaimed textiles, articulated as a plush checker mosaic. Clay, umber, teal, denim, saffron, moss, blush, and ivory squares alternate with organic rhythm—an earthy, contemporary palette that honors Amazigh improvisation and the art of reuse.
