At this time Cohen syndrome has no official ribbon and is recognized under the rare disease ribbon (Zebra pattern). For those unaware, Cohen Syndrome is a genetic (Blue Jeans) disorder affecting multiple parts of the body, including the brain, eyes, and muscles. Cohen kiddos know only love which makes them amazing, they don't hate or judge. We are super excited to release these Ribbons! They can be purchased in the form of bookmarks, earrings or keychains!!!! If you would like them in another form please let us know! ***
