Made from potato starch, this classic Italian adhesive has delighted users since 1927 with its gentle formula and signature almond scent.

Founded in 1927 by Aldo Balma in Italy's Piedmont region, Coccoina began with a mission to create a safe, effective adhesive that would bring joy to the simple act of gluing paper. The signature almond scent was added to appeal to children while serving as a natural preservative. Today, this family-owned company continues to produce their adhesives according to their original eco-friendly principles, making them a pioneer in sustainable manufacturing.

These carefully chosen and crafted pieces represent a considered mix of the esoteric and the highly pragmatic. Many of these simple things reflect the hand of the artisan or the quiet genius of the inventor. They are useful in ways that are difficult to quantify but, if pressed, we would say they make life a little more efficient and a lot more beautiful.

We would be great together -
