Coccoina Eco-Friendly Glue

Just in time for the back-to-school crew, See Jane Work bring in Cocoina's Almond Scented Paste. Nontoxic, non-solvent, and acid-free, it even tastes of marzipan for the paste-eater in your life.
Used in schools in Italy since the 1930s, the $8 imported paste comes in a vintage-style silver tin and includes a stiff bristle. You can also get it in the form of a $3 glue stick for handy toting about. ::See Jane Work




















Just incase any vegetarians or vegans are reading this with interest, the 'stiff bristle' brush is made from pig hair.
The glue stick should be fine though.
And it really does smell lovely.
Thanks, Michael - that was my first thought!
I was born in Italy, went to school in Italy and it is true, We always used Coccoina at school in that same package and logo. I am sad to hear about the pig hair bristle though, I have a tin here with me and the bristle looks sinthetic to me, maybe they used to make it with pig hair in the old days but today they make with a synthetic fiber.......
Love that its available....wish it was cheaper. :)
