Meet YALILA — a wonderfully tactile Boucherouite runner made almost entirely from colour.

I found YALILA through Simo at the women’s market in Morocco in May 2025. Its combination of deep green, bright fuchsia and touches of pale turquoise immediately stood out — but it’s the texture that makes this one really special.

Handmade from small strips of repurposed chiffon, YALILA has a wonderfully soft, almost ruffled surface. The irregular checkerboard pattern gives it plenty of colour and personality without trying to be too perfect.

At 260 × 65 cm, its long and narrow shape works beautifully in a hallway, dressing room, alongside a bed or anywhere that could use an unexpected strip of colour.

ORIGIN & SOURCING

Personally sourced through Simo at the women’s market in Morocco, where I selected YALILA for its unusual texture, joyful colour combination and wonderfully handmade character.

CARE

Regularly shake out or gently vacuum using low suction and without a rotating brush.

Because of YALILA’s length and weight when wet, we don’t recommend washing this piece in a domestic washing machine. For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is the safest option.
