    [Vintage Find] Unused 70s/80s Coopexim-Cepelia Polish Bedcover with original tags! How rare is this?

    ​I recently found this massive (200×240 cm / roughly 78×94 inches) vintage bedcover/kilim tucked away at home. It’s completely unused and still has the original paper tag attached by its thread.
    ​The tag says "Coopexim-Cepelia Made in Poland" and describes it as a Bedcover "Rug". I did a little bit of research and found out Cepelia was a major Polish cooperative for folk arts and crafts during the Cold War era.
    ​What amazes me is the condition—it’s basically deadstock/mint after all these decades.
    ​My questions for the experts here:
    ​How rare is it to find these pieces with the original tags still perfectly intact?
    ​Does anyone have a rough estimate of its current value in this condition?
    ​Any extra history on this specific pattern or era would be highly appreciated!
    ​Thanks in advance!

      PRL vintage items are becoming rarer and rarer but people who monetize this are plenty. Proces can go quite high for good quality PRL items but i would say its hard to put an exact price tag

      Not everything that it’s vintage it’s beautiful. Soviet apartments are the best example of that

      That definitely looks very 70s. I’m sure there’s a museum out there that would love to have it.

      Appreciate the fact that you own bed cover from natural materials that does not come from China/India.

      These things can last decades, even if used.

      I don’t think it has any specific monetary value, but keep in mind that getting modern equivalent of this size, from similar materials would cost you at least few hundred pln.

      Once my aunt passed we found plenty of unused small towels, despite few years they still look the same and outlived those from H&M.

      juggling by the tag this is modern (post-PRL, likely 1995-2005 or even later) Cepelia product and if so not very collectible or rare
