Souvenir for the Opening of Ikea in Edinburgh 1999","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of a small selection of unused vintage tea towels or bar cloths that I have owned for a number of years. They were all packed away in a wee box - so have just decided to add to my shop stock. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is made from a printed cotton as annotated. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a very rare survivor - and I have never seen another one. It is pristine. It is a strange thing - made to celebrate the opening of the very first Ikea store in Scotland - this happened in November 1999. I would suspect that these were made as \"give aways\" or souvenirs presented to the first visitors and customers to the store. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is all a bit silly - love the wee poem written in the style of the Bard, Rabbie Burns... lol! and Ode to Ikea. Love the big blue Ikea warehouse - depicted here slap bang in the middle of the design. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaken lots of images of details for your inspection. It really should be in a museum collection - as it documented a special moment in Scottish retailing history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colours are rich and bright.  Dimensions: 74 x 46 cm (29  x 18 inches). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostage on all my towels is FREE. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese have been priced to reflect the rarity of each item and the interest subject matter. Many of these have been ruined through use of the years,, or shabby condition - or long gone out in the bin! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39318377726016,"sku":"Sold for £25 free postage","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/rare-scottish-historical-tea-towel-or-bar-cloth-souvenir-for-the-opening-of-ikea-in-edinburgh-1999-229.webp?v=1783896978","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/rare-scottish-historical-tea-towel-or-bar-cloth-souvenir-for-the-opening-of-ikea-in-edinburgh-1999","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
