FAQs

What is the Ami de Coeur motif?

The Ami de Coeur is the signature emblem of AMI Paris, featuring a heart topped with an 'A' for Alexandre Mattiussi, the brand's founder. It symbolizes love, friendship, and authentic Parisian style.

How should I wash my wool cardigan?

This cardigan requires special care: Hand Wash Low or Dry Clean only. Do not machine wash, bleach, or tumble dry. Always lay flat to dry to maintain its shape.

Is this cardigan designed for a specific gender?

While listed with a 'Male' gender attribute for this specific UK 8 variant, the 'Big Cardigan' style with dropped shoulders is often embraced as a unisex piece, offering a relaxed and comfortable fit for anyone who enjoys the aesthetic.

What does 'dropped shoulders' mean for the fit?

'Dropped shoulders' refers to a design where the shoulder seam falls lower on the arm than a traditional garment, contributing to the cardigan's relaxed, slightly oversized, and comfortable 'big' fit.

Can I wear this cardigan in warm weather?

Being 100% wool, this cardigan is primarily designed to provide warmth and breathability in cooler conditions. It may feel too heavy or warm for hot weather, but it's suitable for transitional seasons or air-conditioned environments.

How durable is 100% wool?

100% wool is a naturally durable fiber when cared for properly. With correct washing, drying, and storage, your cardigan will maintain its quality, shape, and appearance for many seasons.

Troubleshooting

Cardigan feels itchy or rough after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and following the 'Hand Wash Low' instruction. A lanolin-based conditioner can sometimes help soften wool. Also, consider layering with a long-sleeved base layer.

Cardigan appears to be losing its shape or stretching

Always lay the cardigan flat to dry and store it folded, not hung. Hanging wet wool can cause it to stretch out of shape. Avoid over-agitating during hand washing.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appearing on the surface

Pilling is natural for wool products due to friction. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver, lint comb, or even carefully with scissors. Regular removal helps maintain appearance.

Button coming loose or missing

Carefully re-sew any loose buttons. If a button is missing, contact AMI Paris customer service for potential replacements or source a similar button if preferred. Always secure buttons before washing.
