FAQs
What material is the Ami De Coeur Cardigan made from?
The cardigan is made from 100% lightweight felted Merino Wool, offering a luxurious feel. The overall composition may include organic cotton, likely in stitching or labels.
How do I properly care for this cardigan?
It is essential to hand wash this cardigan only, using cool water and a gentle, wool-specific detergent. Lay it flat to dry; never tumble dry or hang while wet.
Is this cardigan suitable for both men and women?
Yes, the AMI Paris Ami De Coeur Cardigan is designed as a unisex product, offering a versatile fit for all.
What does the 'Ami de Coeur' logo represent?
The 'Ami de Coeur' (French for 'friend of the heart') is the iconic signature logo of AMI Paris, representing friendship, love, and authenticity. It's a key identifier of the brand.
Where is the cardigan manufactured?
This cardigan is crafted with care in Portugal, reflecting high standards of production and quality.
How do I choose the correct size?
As a unisex garment, sizing can vary. For reference, the center back length is 64 cm for size M and 58 cm for size XS. It's recommended to compare these measurements to your own or similar garments you own.
Can I machine wash or dry clean this cardigan?
No, machine washing and tumble drying are not recommended as they can damage the delicate merino wool. Always hand wash. While professional dry cleaning is an option, hand washing as instructed is generally preferred for this garment.
Troubleshooting
Cardigan feels rough or itchy after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. After rinsing, a small amount of wool conditioner or a few drops of white vinegar in the final rinse water can help soften the fibers. Always lay flat to dry.
Pilling (small balls of fabric) are forming on the surface.
Pilling is a natural occurrence in wool from friction. Use a fabric shaver, a de-piller comb, or even a sharp razor blade (with extreme caution) to gently remove pills without damaging the fabric surface.
The cardigan seems to have lost its shape or stretched.
This often happens from incorrect drying or hanging. Always lay the cardigan flat to dry. When storing, fold it neatly rather than hanging, especially if wet, to preserve its original shape.
Buttons feel loose or are at risk of falling off.
Regularly check the stitching on the horn buttons. If loose, reinforce them with a needle and matching thread to prevent loss. Handle the buttons gently when fastening and unfastening.
Faint odor develops despite proper care.
Wool naturally resists odors, but if an odor persists, try airing the cardigan outdoors in a shaded, breezy area for a few hours. For stubborn odors, a professional dry cleaner specializing in wool may be necessary, though hand washing is generally preferred.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use
Upon receiving your cardigan, gently unpack it. If any creases are present from packaging, a light steam can help relax the fabric. Avoid direct heat or harsh ironing.
Compatibility & Styling

- Underlayers: Wears well over lightweight t-shirts, long-sleeve tops, or thin button-down shirts.

- Footwear: Pairs seamlessly with everything from casual sneakers to smart loafers or boots.
Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the quality and longevity of your AMI Paris Ami De Coeur Cardigan:
- Hand Wash Only: This is the most critical instruction. Use cool or lukewarm water (around 30°C / 86°F) with a gentle wool-specific detergent. Gently agitate the water and submerge the cardigan. Do not wring or twist the fabric.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the cardigan flat on a clean towel in its original shape. Roll the towel and cardigan together to absorb more water. Then, unroll and lay flat on a dry surface or a mesh drying rack, away from direct sunlight or heat. Never tumble dry, as this will cause shrinking and damage.
- Storage: Store your cardigan folded in a drawer or on a shelf to prevent stretching or misshaping that can occur when hanging wool garments.
- Pilling: If minor pilling occurs over time (common with wool), use a fabric shaver or a de-piller to gently remove them.
- Refresh: To refresh between washes, air the cardigan out or use a gentle fabric mist designed for wool.
